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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
