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..

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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
