Hey guys just wanted to see what sort of Km people were getting out of R33 GTRs, just regular driving, obviously they will chew if you plant it. how big is ther tank??? I do a fair bit of driving and just wanted to see if driven responibly if you can get good returns from the RB26. I would like to get an aftermarket computer for a proper tune so any results would be great.

cheers

Hi, An R32 GTR tank hold 72lts, Driving steady I get about 500ks when the warning light comes on. Power FC, big exhaust, about 12lb boost.

well, i'm pretty sure the fuel tank is 65 litres, however some sites say 72 litres. not sure which is correct, but so far i've got about 320km out of my first tank.. but i don't know if my car has a fuel warning light when it gets low or if it works, so there was still quite a bit of fuel left when i filled it up.

From what the previous owner said, it's typical to get about 350km max driving in the city, 450 on highway. you may get more if you're travelling at a constant 100km/h from like NSW to VIC or something.

If you start putting aftermarket computers on and modifing stuff, this will probably make fuel economy worse.

And of course if you really fang it... good luck :thumbsup:

Whoa. that's pretty good. Where abouts is the needle at when the light first comes on? Above or below the empty mark?

My fuel gauge was just a tad below the E and I thought i'd better fill up just in case.. but i'm pretty sure i put in less than 60 litres to fill it up again.

hey all,

not sure if its the same on gtr's and gtst but when the fuel light comes on isnt there still 15 or so litres left?

anyone with the know-how want to give further insight and confirm or deny this?

personally i get paranoid when the light comes and on and i aim to find the closest BP or mobil to fill up.

sorry for hijacking your thread

cheers in advance,

kind regards, :(

^^^ Thats true. I normally get about 350-400k's of general driving on about 45L of fuel. I ran it down to till the empty light came on last weekend and filled it up from there and put in 55L so If the light comes on when there's 10L left that would make sense as to it having a 65L tank.....If you are getting shit fuel economy I would question your tune before anything else, obviously some tunes are also gonna be more biased towards power than fuel economy so perhaps this is something to talk to your tuner about.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
