Hey just got my r33 1996 gtst imported and registered after waiting months. Car is awesome real happy with it. BUT i got about 350kms out of it after being filled up with 98 with sensible driving no a/c. The car is a pup only 60 000 genuine kms with service records and perfect condition to credit this. Whats going on any advice please. Thankyou, i did do search would like a more indepth explanation.

my guess is that its the O2 sensor on your dump pipe,

i used to get 300km to a tank with sensible driving, changed the 02 sensor and am getting around the 450km to a tank, 400km with boosting on a cruise

well worth the money IMO

I get about 300km a tank in my R34 (205rwkw). Changed the O2 sensor, tuned Power FC, etc, and that seems to be the best I can get. You might have to get used to that kind of economy unfortunately! That is pure city driving though, with only the occasional bit of a thrashing. If I'm driving out in the country I can get up to 450km a tank.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
