My last 3 tanks have been around 520-540km out of 56-58L.. ~10.7km/L

Power fc, high flow turbo on 12psi for daily driving. Spend a fair amount of time idling waiting for parking at uni and i dont drive like a granny either :laugh:

New O2 sensor, spark plugs and using engine braking to keep injector duty at 0% as much as possible help abit though :(

consistant 400-410 from about 65L... but need to get my pFC so I can lean it out and hopefully get a few more km's and she might stop trying to spray her ass black too!

0.9bar boost and id say a medium 2 hard drive + dredded peekhour freeways.

What are the other GTR owners gettin?

I got 520km off 47L this week. 9L/100km :P

I remapped my ECU about 3/4-1/2 way through the tank. Removing R&R made a huge difference... leaning out 5000 -> redline helped aswell when I felt like thrashing the ol rb20 :D

It needs more timing so there is still room for improvement

  • 3 weeks later...

Lucky to get 300km! But not complaining my 4wd had a 100l tank about $130+ to fill up and I would be lucky to get 350-400km out of it (in perth)! Not only does my skyline get me to places a hell of alot quicker, smoother and in more style I also find it much more of a pleasure to drive!

really odd thing happened with my car. usually if i chuck say $20 of BP ultimate in there i will get around 16L and prob around 130 ish km. anyway, i put in $20 of vortex last week and got 185km out of 16L - wtf? in my experience vortex gives me less km's than ultimate. still trying to work it out but meh.

I'm running a PowerFC and making 350rwhp.

I get around 450kms per tank. The fuel light usually comes on a bit past 400kms if it let it go that far. This includes some spirited driving, i reckon i could get 500+ if i babied it, but what's the point?! When it's driven fairly hard it really does guzzle though.

Interesting..

Ive allways gone BP Ultimate in my import cars but I have heard this about Vortex 3 times now..

maybe we should do our own little mythbusters style test and see how it turns out..

Vortex Vs BP ultimate..

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
