hey, first post here. Long time lurker i guess :D

Iv been considering going the R33 GTST route for some months now, there is simply no other cars which suit my criteria, and are designed to fit people over 6ft tall (try sitting in most coupes). But, i do alot of highway KM's (600+ per week), and are wondering how you guys find fuel consumption. I know there is a sticky on this subject, but its mostly on semi-modified skylines getting 300rwkw etc.

How do you find the stock manuals, for mostly highway driving? Is it possible to get over 500k's from the 50L tank when driven conservatively?

welcome to the forums!

im pretty sure there a 60L tank. as for stock and driving decent highway Kms i wouldnt be happy with anything under 430km.

ive just got basic mods and i pull around 380km in town driving and the occasional squirt.

430km from 60L is still 14L/100k's... which is v8 fuel consumption.

There still only 2.5L 6's?

Mate, welcome to the world of forced induction... that's about as good as it gets standard.. Mines fairly stock with a couple of pounds extra boost and a high flow turbs and I'm lucky to see 400clicks...

Im still finding it difficult to believe they would use so much fuel.

15L/100k's doesnt sound unreasonable when thrashing the shit out of it. But sitting on the highway, on rev's below the turbo being spooled, i dont see how it could possibly be using more than 10L/100k's.

But if owners are reporting getting well under 500km from 60L's...

i mean its not like i run it right down to the last litre of fuel. each time i highway drive ill fill up but prob still be able to squeeze 20 or 30 k's more. also got to remember the latest model 33 is almost reaching 9 years old or something.. most 33 would be around 10years. so consumption is greater as the car wears

I kept track of my fuel consumption over a few months and have ended up with a range betweeen 13.3 and 15.21 L per 100ks. Most tanks would work out to be around the high 13 to low 14 mark. That is driving half highway half off peak city. I could probably drive a little more conservatively if I tried though.

With that boost solenoid mod switched on all the time, fuel consumption is more around 15L per 100ks.

p.s. thats a s1 r33 gtst with no mods other than a k&N panel filter.

What does say a v8 ss commodore get? (not what holden claims, how many L per 100ks in real life?) I heard it was much higher, like 17 or 18L/100km, but I don't know how true that is...

5 litre V8s from Holden and Ford chew through about 18-22 litres... i knew a guy with a VS ex police car and he went through 18 litres easy.

LS1 is more economical but still around 17-18 litres, thats in the city.

If you open it up itll go through 20+ litres per 100 km.

Xr6Turbo guys record around 18-25 litres per 100 KM... so Skylines drink hardly any unles really modded.

yeah commos are not too good at all on the juice. i had a V6 VS exec and only getting around 320 to a 55l tank, i was quiet impressed when i switched to the line and got more km out of the tank and almost have double the power...

370kms suburban driving on '95 r33 gtst with exhaust, intercooler, pod filter (165 flywheel kw's @6psi, crap I know), pushing the throttle from time to time. Currently running lean (14:1). hoping to get better fuel comsumption with new ecu

worst i had gotten was around 16 - 17ltrs - thats just one week when i was tired of driving like a grandpa.

but a mix of normal and spirited usually gets around 13 - 14ltrs per 100km.

Best i have gotten is just under 12lts per 100 (thats just over a week of just cruising cos i was bored) :cheers:

The tank is 65L not 60

I consistently get 450km to 55L (mixed driving) - Mods are: High flowed turbo, 555cc injectors, fuel pump, PowerFC etc - ~230rwkw

The best I have seen is 626km for 58L on a Brisbane to Sydney trip, so mostly closed loop cruise at ~3000rpm

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
