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.

for the first time in months i actually filled up full tank at 50 litres plus or so.. had already quater tank, and filled up 40 Litres more.

Today have done about 110kms to uni n back and needle hasnt gone down full mark yet..

And i did give it some here n there up the hills etc etc.

So im hoping i get about 450 also.

Car has some basic mods.

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
