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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • 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.
