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...

i am new and dont know nothing about the skyline so please please go easy on me...guys...any help

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
