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..

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
