R33 GTST, stock exhaust, Blitz Air pod.

in City

1) when the my car just arrive here, 300km per 50L.

2) Reset ECU, 350 per 50L (10.5:1 test on dyno)

3) Power FC, 420~450 per 50L (12.5:1 test on dyno),

highway

Power FC, 550~600 per 50L (12.5:1 test on dyno), however depands on how you accel...

notice accel much smooth and rev easy to pick up, therefore no need to accel hard..boost slight come in early, no over fuel less pop

also after dyno tune second day went to wakefild park, the engine is totally different, very resopsive compare to stock ecu.

most important is no fuel cut and speed limit cut..

:uh-huh: :uh-huh:

however as I said, it depands on how you accel..

from what i can gather from all the feedback, a stock skyline will average about 330-350km city driving and 410-450km highway driving...

skyzerr33: who tuned your SAFC? what a/f ratio are you running now? was it 10.5:1 stock? can you tune half throttle or less with the SAFC? some of you SAFC guys have some really good results and im really keen to hear how you did it....

with both the SAFC and PowerFC, can you adjust a/f ratio's when the ECU is in "closed loop" mode or less than half throttle? from my understanding the PowerFC is just a factory ECU that is tunable and when in closed loop mode is not tunable. Is this correct?

Forget expensive computers for now - you'd be amazed by how much difference a proper oil change can make. My car was using close to 16L/100kms when I first got it from the dealer, but after doing my first service and using 40W Penzoil synthetic, it improved to 13L/100kms.

If you expect good fuel economy, the I feel there are realy two main factors.

How and where you drive, and the mechanical condition and tune of the engine.

If the compression is as new, the oxygen sensor working, and you drive sensibly then the economy should be reasonable. If the engine is stuffed and you thrash it, well...................

skyzerr33 u must drive like Miss Daisy those fuel consumption figures are unbelievable...

yet i can pull 14.00's at the strip?

go figure no i'm just a smart driver.

as sidewaymambo said its how you accellerate. do it smoothly and no violently and you'll get better figures

plus 90% of my driving is on the highway cruising at 100kph. on my car thats about 2600rpm. i get these figures all the time. yes they go down when i give the car a burst or 5 during the week. but then it only drops to 550 per tank.

WA has better fuel as well its refined different as we have harsher fuel laws. Our petrol burns cleaner therefore giving more power and economy since the fuel is working more efficently in the engine.

i think ice180 meant you drove like miss daisy around town. your performance on the strip is irrelevant to the way you drive around town - or is it?

your amazing fuel consumption, i think, is from a combination of SAFC (and obviously who tuned it), the fact you do mostly hwy driving and somewhat more cleaner fuels...

i still want to know what a/f ratio your running and who tuned it!!!

hehe, what does pushing the brakes a few times do?

is that like pressing CTL-ALT-DEL on the keyboard??? :)

if i disconnect the battery for all of tonite, will this reset the ecu? can it do any other harm? this is how i used to reset the WRX...

should be the same as R33's dude.... jsut disconnect the battery... push the brakes a few times... leave it for 15 mins or say

then wire it up and take it for a thrash

I been meaning to do it as well actaully....we can do it next week if you want

rhino

dude you must have majic fuel if you can get a gtr to do 10l/100k's. that is fricken magical

tell me your secret (seeing as the best nissan could get was 16.5/100 on the freeway)

cruzzing i get about 16-17

city i get 21

and fangging it i get about 25

reveal you secrects please please please

pete

I'm in the 450-500 per tank bracket too. I have a long drive to work which is mainly 80 and 100 zones, which definitely helps.

I'm getting my SAFC tuned soon, which should hopefully improve things even more.

When I was at the CAMS license day I was getting 300km to a tank.

I do 2500+kms a month in my R33, it's a work car.

Almost all of that is city driving. I accellerate quickly to the speed limit and cruise.

My fuel consumtion is 10L/100kms or slightly lower, 9something on the longer open road runs. I know this is fairly accurate as I log book and claim every single Km for tax reasons, have done this over more than 2 years.

A study conducted some time ago (VW did it I think) found that brisk accelleration used less fuel than a slow accelleration to the same speed (not the reason I do it I can assure you :D )

I don't drive like nanna, I only have two points left to show that!

You will get poor fuel ecconomy if you use 5th gear at speeds slower than 90km/h, I know some people who use it at 50/60kmh!

As mentioned before, the state of your cars tune will greatly impact on fuel ecconomy, as will general maintenence like tyre pressure and the one nobody remembers ----- change your frigin gearbox and diff oil regularly !

Fatz,

To be honest I dont know how I do it, just try and stay off boost as much as you can, at 110kph in 5th if you try and keep the boost around the -300mmHg on the factory gauge you do even better. Thats pretty hard to do though.

Not running more boost than factory, having new spark plugs and keeping the car in good service might have something to do with it.

But I agree when you fang it the fuel consumption goes through the roof.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
