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.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
