R34 GTT with 3" TB exhaust, 11psi and Bp Ultimate .. gets me 300Kms from 50l. I always fill her up when the empty light comes on which is with 15l left in the tank. So I guess FULL tank would be around 400Kms if I drove until completely empty.

All in all the economy seems to be 16l/100Kms which isn't too impressive but not too shabby considering 1) it's all city driving 2) I can't help my lead foot a lot of the times 3) it's a friggin sports car that I love driving

  • 1 month later...

Model: 1998 R34 25GT (non turbo) coupe 2dr (non of this 4 dr BS lol)

Tank: not to sure acctaully...but when the needle is just above the E and i fill her up with vortex 98 its around 55L

Driving style: the guilt usually gets to me so its a mix of granny and boy racer...

running around the hills district i get about 380-400 a tank but on the highway she is beautifull:) she will get about 550-600 out of the 55L tank :P

any other non-turbos in here?!?!

thought id put my stats here aswell,,,, used to get 250-300km/tank in a 96 r33 gtst series 2, with caltex vortex 98octane..... driving granny style

that was before with cat back exhaust and pod filter....

now got full 3 inch turbo back, highflow cat, apexi filter, new (falcon el) 02 sensor, carrying 60kg of car audio lol last week i did 400km and needle was just under the 1/4 mark. Only filled up for $65 instead of $75, got more km's and cost less to fill up so double bonus, i didnt drive it like a granny all the time either.... get a new 02 sensor, the falcon ones are only $70 and just twist the wires together and tape them up and it will save you money, i think it will pay for itself in a month.....

also this is city and suburb driving, no freeways, highways.....

just for an experiment, how far have people gone after the gauge has gone below the 'E' ????

im never game enough to try, but im geussing around 50k's?

Lol sounds like that seinfeld episode :P

I get about 300-350km around town. Taking her out on a big trip up to Cairns soon so ill see how good she is on the highway. Around town on and off boost constantly is a joke for fuel consumption.

Hiya David,

Probably 50-100Kms depending on how you drive it at its death. The computer on BMs can tell you how many Kms left in the tank tho' (to the nearest 20Km or so)

A Q for a Q mate.

So you rock up to a 24 Hr Servo late at night when a young naive attendant is on and doesn't know about the 5litre rule...

You're on "E" or below and you've got no $; but all the time in the world .

Step#1: You put in 2 cents

Step#2: You go to the attendant ready to pay to the nearest 5c

Step#3: Go back to Step#1 :)

Q: How long would it take to fill your tank?

I dont fill up my car, mainly because its a weekend car. I normally put $40/ BPU and i get around 160-180km, thats mainly city driving. It needs a service tho. I dont thrash it at all. Never hit the limiter or anywhere close.

R33 25t manual coupe.

~180-190rwkw a while back..

FMIC

Copper plugs

5psi boost(tap)

3inch exh leading to a 4inch catback and 5inch tip(no cats etc)

18inch 235's all round.

Because i am drunk and bored.......

Say current price of BP ultimate $1.60, therefore 2 cents gets you 0.032Litres

Say fuel tank takes 65L, therefore need to do the 2 cents thing 2031.25 times.

Say one time takes you 30 seconds to fill up, walk in, talk to attendent and walk out again to start again, therefore it takes 60937.5 seconds. Which is equal to 16.927 hours.

There is your answer.

You just wasted 5 minutes of my life.

Thanks.

I filled my tank up drove for 100K's and filled it back up again and it took 13.7 litres

I believe from what ive read that is the most accurate way of checking fuel consumption

My car is a R34 Gtt running 14psi boost FMIC and 3 turbo back exhaust and an auto

Holy crap that is not good lol. I have pretty much the same mods + a power fc.

Now I do a fair bit of highway driving amongst city driving (probably 50/50) and I get around 11L/100kms, I think lol

Last time I filled up it took 48 litres and I had done 440km so you go figure :banana:

There is your answer.

LOL

Anyways,

Mine isn't a turbo, but then again yours don't have to be either :banana:

I fill mine up every night ass tuesday and each week I drive around 300km. Each week I usually fill up about 25-30L So around 10L/100

I use the original air filter box and changed 2x 2.5" mufflers - thats it :P

You weekend warriors - soft/not properly pumped tyres can chew your fuel

2/160 = 0.0125L...

It still amazes me how many people don't know how to work out l/100km. You fill up, reset the OD, drive... the more fuel you use the more accurate it will be, then fill up and record how many litres it takes. Just doing 100km after filling up increases errors associated with when the bowser clicks off.

    • Haha that's wholesome as! Looks like we're raising a generation of female rev heads and classic shit box owners 🤣
    • Haha nice, my kids are the same two older boys say cars are boring while younger girls like them. My 1.5yo daughter watches D1GP on YouTube with me, holding a toy plate for steering wheel and making brmm brmm noises
    • Took the car out to see if it still starts, sure does. Daughter wanted to for a spin too, she loves it when it doses, also cries when we come home and try to take her out of the baby seat 🥲  I actually put the seat in for her brother, but he absolutely hates the shitbox. Anyhow, so after looking at real boats, and transoms, bait tanks etc. and scupper valves attached to them, I came up with ideas to improve the catch can. The primary goal was to stop the interior smelling like vented catch can shit when the windows are down OR when the HVAC is not recirculated. My catch can has a sump drain/feed at the bottom, 2x cam cover inlets, 1x outlet back to the intake pipe and 1x vent at the top. The initial theory was at idle, and off boost there would be just enough suction from the intake pipe (pre turbo) to pull back any smelly shit from the catch can before it could escape out of the vent (which does have 1x layer of foam and a fine mesh screen on top). It kind of works, however on hot days, the motor is breathing more than the suction provided from the intake pipe (pre turbo) and there's a bit of vapours escaping (not a bit amount, but enough to piss me off). I could have just sealed off the vent, however it would mean each time I take it to the track or decide to drive it with a bit of enthusiasm, I would need to remove the seal. To address this, using scupper valve idea, I used a 3mm sheet of rubber and cut essentially a valve that requires a bit of pressure to crack open and vent. Took the shit box for a drive today, came back and parked the car. No heavy stench, great success ☺️ I still would swap for a F80 LCI or W204 2012+ C63 AMG, if anyone is keen 😅
    • I'm with Kinkstaah on this one. Do it once, do it right. So much better for your mental health. The sneaky thing about the fuel pump wiring is that it will work perfectly fine for the longest time. Until that one moment when it decides to shit the bed. And it's not worth the paranoia from not trusting the car anymore. At least other mechanical issues announce themselves by developing some noise or other warning. If you have the funds, I'd suggest to go with a good kit like Frenchys and get the work done by a trustworthy shop. No regrets there. The only downside to the Frenchys kit on the Stagea/R32 GTR is that their fuel level sender is not on point. But looks like the R33 kit maintains the factory sender so should not be an issue. This is what the botched setup on my Stagea looked like before it stopped working. It had melted its way quite a distance down. Glad it didn't burn down the car.   Some links I came across when I looked for solutions: Radium sells a DIY wiring kit that looks promising. I didn't buy it though, I let my workshop decide on wiring. https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/radium-diy-fuel-pump-hard-wiring-kit-17-0031 https://www.radiumauto.com/DIY-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Kit-P368.aspx   You can also get cheap replacements for the locking ring depending on how mangled it looks: https://www.kudosmotorsports.com/Nissan-17343-79900-Fuel-Tank-Outlet-Locking-Ring-for-Nissan-S14-S15-BNR32-R33-R34-AWC34 There are tools for unscrewing it as well so you don't have to abuse it with a screwdriver and mallet. The Frenchys one is expensive but I'm sure there are cheaper ones.
