It has to do with the weight of Stageas ~1700kgs, the fact that they share the aerodynamics with a tissue box, and how you use your throttle, and the fact that you have 4wd too.

I had my power-fc tunes for economy and was reeeeealy gentle on the throttle and got 9lts/100kms out of her.

Read this thread:

holy crap joe! mine would be lucky to get 300 :blink:

you serious on you car you only get 300km/tank? Im getting 400-450/tank. you better go for a retune buddy it will save you in the long run. if thats the case use boost 98 to cut costs man.

Average 11.7L/100km in town, 9-10L/100km on the highway.

It all comes down to a good tune, and a controlled right foot...

oh, and adelaide traffic isn't as bad as in other states so your results may vary a bit...

but then with better roads like in QLD I averaged <11L/100km when on holiday in brisbane...

300km would be correct, with no safc and with a shagged exhaust temp sensor....

I was on around 320-350kms then replaced the exhaust temp sensor and added an safc and it got 450km (fuel light staying on) with 140awkw.

after a retune soon to suit the different muffler, incl adding on an adj cam gear wheel, should get 190awkw and still be around the 400km per tank mark.

i get 200 KM to the tank in city

around 300 on the highway

man is your foot made out of lead or wat?your car got a serious problem. I think it definetely can guzzle gas quicker than all of us guzzling a pot of cold beer!!!! :rant:

i also changed o2 sensor, and it improved slightly....

but as i said im getting an safc in the next couple of weeks, and i will also try and track down an SITC

who sells this boost98?

united. search for the thread on boost 98. and there a link in there which will tell you where boost 98 is available. its good stuff.

Say you call "a tank" 50lt to be conservative as 200km is ridiculous anyway you swing it... That's 25lt/100km

What modifications have you got mechanically to achieve such a stupid result? Larger injectors and unburnt fuel running out the exhaust?

I suggest you check the "gas" tank for holes there boy! I'm sure driving "style" is a contributing factor...

    • 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.
