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.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
