hey mate i got rb25 same as you judging by your sig and i find that it uses little to none on the hwy to the coast n thats 110kms.. topped it back up to full yesterday after driving to the coast n back which is bout hour each way plus stuffin round n that while there n only took 20L which i thought was good !!

be interested to see what other people think

i usually drive from sydney to brisbane . in old car id fill up 2 full tanks and a just a quater . 1000 kms one way . smaller tank though and 4cyl ..

but i wouldnt boost her at all on the drive itd be good to get around 500

thanks for the posts

i do trips to coffs harbour all the time from syd, fairly stock r33. Used to get around 8L/100km but now my o2 sensor is on the blink i think i get around 10L/100km. So still not bad. City driving is a different story altogether, lucky to get 300km from 3/4 of a tank

Don't know my actual reading,

but I used to get 230KM to the halfway mark, around town.

Did a trip up the freeway yesterday, go home, sitting at 190km, and it's only on the 3/4 mark. So used half the fuel, for basically the same, and I generally get 12:/100 around town, so that's looking at around 6-8L/100KM on the freeway.

Damn good if you ask me (Considering if I felt like it, 6 or so seconds on full throttle in 5th gear has me seeing 170 odd KM/H if I need to overtake on a country highway.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
