I have a R33 GTR with 230awkw, completely stock other than a cat back and an aftermarket ecu. I get about 420kms (I have not been tough enough to let it get on the E-line either). That is with "normal" driving with the occasional squirt.

Mike

PS: on BP Ultimate

Im on around 7 to 7.5 km's per litre of premium 98ron fuel used (metro area)

depending on fuel source, right foot, weather, traffic density and route travelled

generally 15L per 100kms

used to be better, around 12.5L per 100kms but my power output is ~90% more than when I first had the rb25det 3.25yrs ago.

i used to get f**k all...

when we had the kadina show i had to top up on the way back :P

i had a full tank when leaving in the morning, got there, dyno run, drove home, dropped my mate off at prospect

and had to top up coz the needle was under empty and the light had been on for ages,

so i got less than 300, prob coz FC was runnin pretty rich

Edited by craig R33

had 2 33s, lol, 1 i got around 350ks to a tank, and another i got bout 190ks to t tank, although the 190ks to a tank was a built 26/30 with 1700cc injectors, lol, spent abit of money on that puppie, <<<track only car it was, lol

yeah i get anywhere from 300-350-400kms per full tank

depends on the right foot

but my car is running pretty rich and running stock boost making around the 179rwkw mark

i get around 380-440ish depending on the conditions

Same.

Mines an S2 - I do stop/start alot though and was only getting around 320 when I first got the car. After a tune and major service its running much more efficiently and regularly get 380+

S2 33 4 door

cooler,turbo back 3 inch, pod and 12 pounds

210kw

using bp ultimate i average between 380 and 420km around town and thats including a bit of boosting....

my stock ecu makes the car idle wierd sometimes and likes to play funny buggers but overall im extremely happy with the performance and fuel consumption... espescially comapred to my old s3 rx7 with 48IDA weber'd 13 extend port, was getting 180km from 75 litre tank and that was tuned awesomely :laugh:

180km per tank..... damn... pocket painfull much?

bloody oath... i worked out i spent just over $11,500 just on fuel last year, thats what i paid for the skyline hahaha... god i miss the ol brap brap though :)

My R33 did between 400 and 480 km/50L depending on my driving style, 90% of the time it was around the 450km mark. It was making 190rwkw with a power fc. It may be a good idea to get your O2 sensor looked at.

  • 1 year later...

hey guys,i need a your help to find out what going on with my fuel economy...as you guys mentioned about your cars and mods and fuel economy my car not even near to that,recently i bought R33 GTS-T S1 Auto..

i changed and last week done service including..oil change,transmission service,plugs change,O2 senson change,brake pads change..total cost me $1000.. but no diffrence in fuel economy and power as well...my car is 1994...do you think i need to have turbo back exhasut....and fmic and pod filter to gain some more power...

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
