[rad100]

sorry for the question..

cheers

[Nimmo]

Depends if I am driving in the city constantly shifting I'll get around 380 other wise I get around 450

[bigmikespec]

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.

PS: on BP Ultimate

[Tangles]

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.

[usmair]

i used to be able to get 450k out of a tank

ever since i put new coil packs in i cant seam to get more than 350k..

needs a tune badly too... midrange feels like crap lol

Cheers everyone, definately gonna look into this more on the weekend

[180or200]

I got 14 L / 100 kms when i was useing bp98, now i use e85 it's 16-18 L / 100 depending on how i drive

[craig R33]

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

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

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

[PIMPED_jzx100]

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

[Krishy]

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

[Skyenate]

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+

[Murry33]

i've had two r33's, running similar boost....they did about 250-300 with the occasional lead foot

if your looking for economy from a skyline, don't get one......simple lol

get a diahatsu mira or something haha

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

[rad100]

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

[nos man]

damn dude that's like 4-5 tanks to get to melbourne

[IZZMO 33]

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

[Race__24]

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.

[maklaw]
