The GTR fuel tank is actually 72l. Fuel economy is very dependant on modifications, tuning and of course driving style. around 350-400 is pretty normal around town and you should get well over 500 on a purely highway cruise with minimal boost.

Hope that helps

geez thats pretty good i didnt wxpect anything like that. thought it would drink pretty steadily. i'm thinking i should seriously think about getting one now.

Fuel is the least expensive part of owning a GTR ( most cars for that matter ) . Purchase price ( capital outlay) depreciation insurance maitnance, etc.. will be a lot more than fuel.

The GTR fuel tank is actually 72l.

To be absolutely clear, the tank can _theoretically_ hold 72L, but the factory allows for about a 6L air/vapour space so the tank can never be completely filled. 65L is about the average practical fill for a GTR tank, but some will see more and some will see less.

R33's and R34's have a 65 lt tank, i believe 32's have the bigger tank.

yes r32 gtr's do have a 72 litre tank BUT you wont fit that much in them by the time vapour lock is taken into consideration

fromtime fuel warning light comes on i have only ever fit 63 litres in mine and i doubt they would allow 9 litres of emergancy fuel in the tank

From the R32 GTR factory WS manual:

Fuel tank _nominal_ capacity = 72L

Intake air capacity = 5.5L

As I said, the air capacity is an allowance for vapour, expansion, etc and is deducted from the _nominal_ capacity of the tank, which gives a theoretical max for liquid of 66.5L. Again, some will get perhaps slightly more, some less, which gazza750 has just proven and is certainly my experience.

Just on this, but a little to the side...

Ive noticed that when my R32GTR gets a little low on fuel, mabey 1/3 of a tank, the car seems to run a little rough/chuggy on idle when cold, almost stalls, until up to temp. Buggered if i know why? Any guesses, wouldnt be to do with vapour lock/pressure would it?

Cheers.

Oh i get about 23l/100km as well Beer Baron... :unsure:

in my 33 gtr i get about 14-15l/100 average with normal driving, although can be a bit higher or lower depending on how i drive it... when my GF drives it it chews quite A bit less than my 4l ford (city driving), seen it as low as 11l/100km. the r is basically stock.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
