Hey all,

I just got my car back from tuning a few days ago.

Its a pretty much stock r33 gtr, just with a power fc and an exhaust.

Its running 222rwkw @ 12 psi.

im getting around 420km to a tank driving sensibly and around 360 to a tank when i give her a bit of a hard time.

is this a good healthy result? power wise and economy?

what do you experts think :(

cheers!

That sounds nice/healthy.

I get about the same as you, my mods are twin airpods, down, front pipes and high flow cat stock catback atm.

Stock +0.7 Bar (10.9 Psi) of boost.

If I really drive sensibly I can get 250kms just under half a tank, X 2 = 500kms, but I usually fill up when it hits half as half a tank last me about a week.

Plus you got an APexi Power FC which will help out with your air/fuel mixture.

hey, thanks for the info!

i've always wondered, are 32's lighter on fuel than 33's in general?

just curious!?

R32 GTR's are lighter, so there is less weight to push.

From memory I read this from some where...

R32 GTR = +0.7 (10.9 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

R33 GTR = +0.8 (12 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

R34 GTR = +0.9 (13 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

(I will have to check...)

So the more the R33 full boost, as apposed to the R32 full boost, the R33 will need more fuel as it is running a higher boost level.

But it's MARGINAL... So it should not make much of a difference but it will add up in the end.

hi all, thanks again for the comments and reassurance :devil:

here are some pics are requested -

apologies for the mess in the interior shot, i was sticking my turbo timer back on.

dude. that is dammmmm sexy. i love your instrument cluster ( nismo cluster ) i want that in white !!

awesome clean car.

Very tidy S3 mate, as for keeping it stock - yeah, right :(

With exhaust, front pipe, high flow panel filter in stock airbox and PowerFC my R33 just made 239RWKW, so power wise yours seems pretty much on the money.

No idea about fuel economy though, I just fill it up and go drive it some more >_<

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
