I clocked 430 KMs in my R33 GTST on the weekend from a full tank of petrol. The car was running Optimax and the fuel light didnt even come on... I could of gone another 30-50 KMs easy IMO.

Car is off course stock... this works out around 14 litres per 100 km... maybe even 12-13 if I kept on. :sorcerer:

BTW I didnt baby the car, at times gave it a boot and also drove in that blocked of city traffic on Sunday when they blocked Swanston St, took me about 2 hours to drive from Essendon to Endevour Hills...

hey there, look i have a stock r33 93 model and i do 400km to the tank regulary, all i have done is 2 weeks ago put on a turbosmart boost controller and put the boost to around 10psi, she still runs the same as before and i give it to it every now and then, ive only had the car for 2 morths so im still in the honeymoon stage if ya know what i mean. I have seen people here with heavily modified cars happy to do 300-350kms. 400km to me and you are good, wait till ya explore and have fun like i want to do and then we shall see what we say in a years time, lol, maybe 300kms of BP's best maybe great, who knows. Keep the fuel burning boys, its the only way to have ya car go the way ya want it!!! :sorcerer:

meh, I regularly get 450Km's from 55 litres in city driving and my car has ~210 rwkw.

Just drove from Bris to Syd the other day and got 626Km's for 55 litres, mostly cruising at ~3000rpm with the occassional squirt.

That works out to something like 8.9 litres per 100Km's.......unbelievable

not boasting clearly making a statement/question. notice the "?" that sir is a question mark we use that at the end to finish the sentence and make it into a question. so is it good or bad? i think its bad at $70 a week on fuel.

If your car is stock which I doubt, its great economy. GTRs drink more than GTSTs.

Sir-D - you just had your AFM replaced - this would help fuel economy somewhat

that all depends. if it was dirty and was readling less airflow than it should then fuel economy will get worse, as the car would've been running lean. now it will run richer.

Actually it didnt affect it that much as I was getting around 420 Kms with my older AFM, plus I traced down the problem with my old AFM which was loose solder that came off some electrical contacts which have now been soldered back on... theres a DIY on SAU for this also.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
