My factory stock R33 SII 4dr auto gives me an average fuel consumption of about 11.6 l/100km which is about 430km on a 50l fill up.

Any idea how that will change when I fit a 3" catback and K&N panel filter?

usually fill up around the 1/4 mark, bp ultimate, 3"exh, pod, FMIC and on 7-8psi, getting 300k, also depends on driving. Mostly m4

Just had a major service, installed exh cam gear and EBC so will see how it goes now!

Do all R33's have fuel lights? Never had mine come on but have had it near the line!

the light will turn on for about 5 seconds then turn off when you get in the middle of the line then it will come back on and stay on when you have about 10 litres left i think.

You get plenty of notice on a r33 (so im told) ive done 30 ks when the light came on and turned off again

maybe i will test it, i have never seen it come one when i have run pretty low, but then again the fuel goes down and comes back up a bit again, not 100% accurate!

I get about the same. Around town, havent really been pushing it. 5spd manual, similar mods: cooler, pod, exhaust, 11.5 psi

$70 ultimate got me 270kms last time round :\ gonna get it tuned so it doesn't run as rich, then we'll see if it improves.

ah you have plenty of time even when the light goes on... you can get a fair way down under the 'E' line as well... its only when you turn a corner, get on the gas and it misses and splutters that you need to fill up LOL

Ah come on dude. You didnt even have to search, dont tell fibs :nyaanyaa:

R33 - pod - 3inch exhaust - plumb back bov.

I only got 380kms out of 50litres, and 200kms of that was 5th gear freeway kms.

I'm looking at about 250-300kms per 50litres city driving.

I drive it easy, jump on boost quite often, standard skyline behaviour.

Changed my O2 sensor last week. Has made no difference at all.

The way I see it, you want performance, it's gonna chew up fuel.

On the other hand, my mate's FPV F6 turbo goes through a tank every few days. Now that's crazy.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
