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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
