Damo,

I too have been keeping a record of my fuel consumption over a long period. I started with cat back exhaust and pod and have kept a record of when I did mods, long drives etc.

From memory im getting about 13L/100km in city type driving.

Mods include full exhaust, EBC set all the time at 0.6bar, high flow turbo, BOV, pod, clutch, tuned powerFC, FMIC.

When you post yours up, i'll post it in the same thread for comparison - mine is in excel format.

i have manual r33, stock boost, cat back exhaust and air pod....

i consistently get 450km with a bit a stick, about 550 driving like a granny...

have tried optimax for a year, just changed to BP ultima, havent noticed much difference yet but still keeping an eye on it..

how you get so much kms im freaken out.

ok 250KM MAX out of 40L is bad so do i need to replace anything

Whats with the 40L tank?? 250km out of 40L is not all that bad...its not great, but not bad. I regularly get 400-450km out of 60L, where you would be getting ~375km.

The fuel gauge in the R33s is a little deceptive. The empty line does not actually indicate a full quarter. Mine usually does 350km when the needle hits the empty line, then 50km later the fuel light comes on. I can usually drive around for 30-50km with the fuel light on.

if u r concerned about fuel consumption u should drive a none turbo like a celica then u'll get 600 k out of 50 lts or itegra about the same . when u drive turbos u dont worry about fuel , try driving a hot coome then u 'll see how much fuel u use . 25-30 lts per 100 km .

33's and 32's don't all chew heaps of fuel.

Some are spot on the specs as released from the factory i.e 10.5l/100km's for the R32. Mine appears to be pretty spot on as are some others. BUT there are some out there that get simply crap fuel consumption.

Good work MRK25T, Makes mine look pretty simple. How did u give a direct link to the xl file. When i tried to attach the file it said only certain formats are allowed and that was not one of them. Hence I had to zip it.

Ok just got a EL Falcon Oxygen Sensor - Very similar to R33 one. Costs $77.00 at bursons. The original r33 from nissan costs $280 (No Thanks). Got my mechanic to cut the r33 sensor and soldier the el falcon one on.

And guess what. My fuel gauge is barely moving now, i cant believe it ive driven at least 100km and only a very little drop in fuel. Very good consumption now.

So now i reckon ill get 500-600km out of a tank that i used to get 250km out of before. I am still yet to clean my afm so hoping for better consumption.

Oh yeh power is that same as before. Hope this help guys. And if you get crap consumption go and get it changed.

Cheers

AK

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
