Hmmm dosent sound right to me, is the car running very rich for some reason???(is the rear bumper just above your muffler stained black?)

Or possibly your factory petrol level sensor is faulty or something, could also be your oxygen sensors, i would get it checked out at nissan or some other performance shop.

are you sure it wasnt constant spirited driving? i got around 200km's outa my first tank when i first got my R33 GTST. I gave it hell, everytime i put my foot down it went all the way to the floor.

next few tanks i was able to get over 400km's as i started driving it normally, so the fuel usage lies heavily on how you drive the car

firstly, how much fuel are you talking about when you say a full tank? there is no point saying 'full tank' since when some peoples gauge shows empty it has used 45L, others 55L.

convert it into L/100k's. e.g. if you get 217k's to 50L you are getting 23L/100k's. if you only used 20L/100k, and if you only used 40L thats 18L/100k's.

also, what mods does the car have? that could be the key to answering your problems. otherwise it may be either your AFM or o2 sensors.

yeah mine has now started the same problem, I don't drive mine often (maybe once a week if I'm lucky) so a tank lasts a while, but i manage about 260km out of a 40L so i get about 15~16L\100km. When i first got the car i got almost 560km out of a tank (not sure how many litres, was a damn while ago) on the highway coming home from the compliancer. Whats th best way to check if its afm or O2 besides get new ones?

I get 12.5 around town! :O ~360kms from ~45L (as much as I can fit in at the time for the last three tanks). Bloody stoked with that consumption, I expected around 14-15L around town. Worst I have gotten was 350kms out of 47L which is 13.4/100kms. Still bloody good given performance for around town driving IMO.

Before mine was tuned it was going through a tank every few days, it was really bad, but after the tune its fine, average 350-400k's per tank, or way less at trackdays etc ovbiously

Have a check of:

AFM's if your not running a MAP sensor ECU (which it doesnt sound like you are)

02 sensors

Spark plugs

An idea would be to use a MAP sensor ECU, i was advised to do this, and im very glad i did, tuning was a bit more expensive, but the AFM's arent used anymore eliminating that from ever being an issue - something worth thinking about :dry:

EDIT: Also i didnt think an ECU would be worth it for how my car was back then, it paid for itself VERY quickly, but aswel as that, the timing was all fixed up, and there was no more surging - just power where-ever and when-ever :P

For some reason mine eats O2 sensors and runs super rich with them plugged in so I run them unplugged. Might be worth giving that a try.

See how it goes after new turbos, PFC, 044 and 600cc injectors. As it is now it pulls 260rwkw on stock computer with steel wheel stock turbos.

That's pretty good....

I get between 16-17......

no real difference on the highway (I have got as good as14.6) as it still sucks the juice

car is basically standard

By the sounds of it you have a gts-t? I found my last gts-t wasn;t that bad on fuel even tough i was running 270 degree cams and pushing 270rwkw, did have a map sensor ecu which as said above may make a difference. My stock gtr is worse :mellow:

LOL :laugh:

yeah it's a gts-t....

pig on fuel, but you get that :ermm:

i have done a lot better with this tank. Cruise back from cooktown to cairns sitting on or around 100-120kph and then a few runs around town and the light has just come on. 445kms so far. that is a little better :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
