I get about 350km per tank and thats with putting 55L in.

I drive alot of highway and im rarely on boost....

:

Think its time to change o2 sensor...

What else you guys think should be changed...

I used the Nulon fuel system cleaner and that got me from 310km to 350km per tank...

that was a once off and the fuel economy is the same.

Can the fuel filter cause a problem?

The car is making 215rwkw with afrs of 11.4.

if the fuel filter is making any sort of problem, the only thing it could do is get blocked really, i dont think it could flow more than it should. with your afr at around 11.....it shouldnt be using too much fuel. Ive heard o2 sensors need to be changed every 75 thousand kays.

I have a r32 gtst fully stock and i get about 420km out of 52litres. But thats with alot of thrashing and driving in peak hour traffic. Mrs on the other hand has done 460 km out of 50 litres. So yes depends on how you drive it and sort of condition you drive in.

My skyline used to give me around 350-400 kms from a full tank with little thrashing and mostly freeway driving.

But I got it checked and found that the crank angle sensor has a little gear which was worn out and because of this incorrect information about the position of the pistons was sent to the ECU. But when i got that fixed now I can get 450+ from a full tank with some thrashing. So roughly 10.5-11 litres per 100km.

Love it.

So if you are getting a shit mileage from your R33 I would have it checked.

LOL!!! That makes me feel better!!! I get about 22litres/per 100km, around town with the occasional burst. So thats about 300KM on a 70 litre tank. 4.5km/per litre.

I didnt buy a 400kw GTR to drive a fuel efficient car, im doing my bit for Saudi Arabia's economy, more crude oil, burn burn burn!!! :D

shiet! thought i read that wrong initially. that's just insane hehe. Bet it's fun though.

seems like you guys are getting pretty good figures.

my ca18de - 10.5L/100km

my rb20det - 10.5-11L/100km

hopefully my next car with an rb25det should be within that range.

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.

How the hell do you get that good economy? I think i get about 400kms or so if i run it dry (done it)... i make a habbit of filling it up after 350kms now. Although that does tend to only take 50litres.. I dont trust me fuel gauge, its an outright bloody liar hence why i always fill up at 350!

My car is in good nic and only 46,000 KMs... I warm her up before boosting every time... its also auto so should drink more than manual... try and see if u can just run her dry or at least have the needly touch the last bar... the light should come on soon after and ull have about 10 litres. Or carry some petrol with u at the time...

BTW my car has done 440 KMs and the needle is barely touching the last bar... so I should be right for another 20-40 KMs...

This weekend I drove to Evens Head (south of Byron Bay and Balina). I went via Springbrook (which adds about 60km of steep curvy slow mountain roads) and I drove pretty slowly for ages looking for dodgy camping sites, with the odd bit of sideways rally driving. I got 10.1L/100km over the 500km trip. Car is a R31 which has an auto 2JZGTE in it

Hmm seems my fuel economy is pretty spot on then. Been giving the car abit here and there (more then usual) and I usually hit 350-400kms right before the Empty light comes on - about 50L to fill up full tank.

Just hit 400kms this week with less enthusiastic driving and E light hasn't come on yet, should be soon though. So I'm game enough to say I'll be able to get 500kms out of 50L if I drive completely off boost for most of the tank, and definately over 500kms if I use up the remaining 15L. :D

Also, I believe tank capacity of the R34 is 65L, does that mean 15L is used for the reserve?

I hear people say this. Please explain? The pump always sucks from the bottom of the tank so any dirt would get sucked up regardless of the fuel level.

Read the manual... also my family friend mechanic told me not to run on empty...but i would like someone give an explonation for this...

Huh? Are you literally talking about driving until you car stops moving due to it having no fuel at all? Who in their right mind would want to do that anyway.... I don't have to read the manual to know that my car will stop moving if I run out of fuel. If I get to the bowser before the fuel runs right out, no more crap will get sucked into the engine than if it had a full tank.

No in the manual it says to fill up the car prior to it coming even close to going dry... usually i think a quarter of fuel is a god indication to fill up.

Anyway we going in circles, fill up prior the light coming up...

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
