Just Got My Car Tuned - R33 Gtr

[KR4-GTR]

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!

I get the same from my R32 GTR, same power, though I got 460km from my last tank

[Chris_GTR26]

how much did the pfc cost you and how much did they charge to dyno tune it?

[KR4-GTR]

hey guys,

thanks for the quick replies!

yeah im not sure if its still running a bit rich?

i paid 1600 all up for the power fc and the tune.

man im running 14 psi. and im lucky to get 300 to 3/4 tank

giving it a hard time tho

[Moodles2]

All Nissans pretty much run rich straight from the factory, probably just a "safe" tune, 222kw is pretty good for 12psi though

[KR4-GTR]

cheers for the info guys, yeah its quick enough for now!

i looked at around 60 gtr's when shopping, it took me over 3 years to find her.

my aim is to keep her as stock as possible famous last words hey? hahah

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.

[KR4-GTR]

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.

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

awesome clean car.

[JD_R33]

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

[sneakey pete]

I'm loving the series 3 R33's

my aim is to keep her as stock as possible famous last words hey? hahah

Then it'll be "oh, i'll only keep the outside stock"
