Im soon going onto my Ps, and ive been thinking of buying a non turbo Nissan. The 180sx or silvia was an idea, but finding a non turbo proved hard.

Can someone confirm with me the rarity of non turbo S13s? Did they make any?

I then thought of an affordable R33 GTS.

Does anyone have the fuel sonsumption on an R33 GTS, or your other import?

The fuel consumption on any import would be nice to have for first time buyer.

I know that the 2.5 isnt a huge engine, but i dont want to buy something that guzzles fuel.

Thanks

Finding a non-turbo S13 Silvia should be pretty easy. 180SX is going to be harder as only the later models came out in non-turbo spec.

My Non-turbo R33 got about 10L/100km last time I checked. So since it's a 65L tank should do 650kms to a tank.. it's stock except for pod filter and cat-back exhaust.

Silvia should get better economy as it's lighter and only has a 4cyl engine.

Your right foot will effect fuel consumption more than anything else in a standard car. I consistently get 500k in my R33 GTS-T as long as I don't thrash it too much. Not sure about the GTS though.

Thats pretty cool!

I get about 400 when spirited driving and giving some stick... over 400 if taking it fairly easy.

yeah, i have heard that the 33 gets about 10-11 per 100, but i wanted to check with people who acyually know for sure. an SR20 will always get the better fuel consumption, but then i'll always miss out on that awesome RB sound....... unless the R32 is a wise choice, not sure about a non turbo R32 tho.

Do all R33's have the same size fuel tank? I'm lucky to get more than about 300km, city driving and very little thrashing.

You have to look at how much fuel you put in rather than the range. I get about 350km from my R32 before the fuel gauge reads empty, but at that point it only takes less than 40 litres to fill the 60 litre tank, so there was still plenty of range left. I usually get less than 12 litres / 100km from my RB20DET, down into low 10's if I take it easy.

It hurts much more than when I first bought mine. Back then, it was an easy $40/week per fillup, then it goes up to $50-ish/wk. That's with the normal use to work and back of roughly 20km travel each day, plus some weekend social outings.

Before long it's gone to $60/wk and before I had a chance to get used to it I'm already spending $70/wk to keep her running. Not having to do with worse fuel consumption but more to the constantly increasing fuel prices :)

i get about 420km out of a tank in my r32 gtst that has 230rwkw

YOU BASTERED HAHAHHAHA

Yeah i havea r33 gtst and i get abotu 350 to a tank if im not pushing it.

DIV hunter how the hell do you manage 500km?

I get like 350 pritty much free way driving :S

I read alot abotu o2 sensors determing bad fule consuption, but alot of ppl here are getting aroudn teh same consumption as me :S

Well I have a 32 gts-t as well and i get at least 500km to a tank, I have to drive it very hard to get under 500. My mate has the same car and wen running 12psi it still gets at least 350km to a tank. I would be concerned if my car was relatively stock getting 300-350km to a tank. Both of our cars have pod filter, 3" exhaust and he sometimes boosts his (as mentioned) plus he has a power fc.

I get about 7.5k/L around town because I'm a bit frisky with the pedal, maybe 9-10 if I'm in grandpa mode.

Highway is much nicer, leans out to about 14k/L, has a 55L tank. Thats on an SR20DET S13 Sil with a fair few mods on it now I guess and a 5spd, they arent a very good learner car in terms of behaviour and theyre certainly thirsty.

The 20DE is a much, much easier beast to live with and their economy is on par with pretty much most other 2L 4cylinder cars. If you want to save up a few grand more I'd recommend an S14, quite couple of them over here locally with the 20DE in them stock and a much better behaved animal on the road. The DET in the S14 is also a blacktop which is a much more refined bit of gear compared to the redtop which is getting kind of agricultural now I suppose but just depends what youre into really.

Ok prior to filling up full tank last night I had:

400 KMs on the odometer and just a tad under one quarter of petrol left... so in theory I could of added an extra 30-50 KMs easy... taking it to a total of 450 KMs... mind you this is pushing the car every now and then, boosting it quiet often!

I am now certain if I baby it then I could esily get 500+ out of my tank... and my car is R33 GTS-T S2... pod and atmo bov.

I got 450-460 kms on my odometer last time. By that time the needle was sitting on empty. When i filled up only 50L went in so 500km sounds possible if i pushed it a bit more.

Maybe i should wait for the fuel light to come on and see how many kms i get then......then again maybe not. I don't want to be pushing my car up to the bouser.

For me just to get 450kms I have to drive around off boost just about all the time!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
