Adelaide To Melbourne- Wats The Petty Cost Up And Back In An R33?


Recommended Posts

Yo! So im looking at going to Adelaide v Collingwood at last minute after just getting back from bali.

Flight prices are ridiculous but. Ive driven to melbourne in heaps of shitty cars before and cheap cars on gas, but im wondering if any of you guys have driven up in an R33 GTS-t and know roughly how many times your gonna need to fill up?

Hit me up ASAP, need to get back to my mate who is purchasing tickets.

Drove over in my mates Leopard?

That had like a... 60-odd litre tank.

Filled up full in Adelaide, then again at Horsham.

But that was due to a bit of spirited driving.

Sweet, If I only had to fill up once on the way up and once on the way back would be sweet

google maps shows 727km from Adelaide CBD to Melbourne CBD, so factor in maybe another 300k's of driving around in Melb or in Adelaide, say 1050k's, your car gets 400kms to tank (hypothetically), fill up your tank when you leave, fill up once on the way there, again in Melbourne, and once on the way back from Melbourne, so around 4 fills. But thats statistically, shitloads of variables :D

my mate made the trip in his 84 toyota tarago wagon few weeks ago $50 bucks there $50 bucks back now that's economy does not help with ya question thought i would throw it in there :D

haha word. thats a good idea tracking to kms. I reckon realistically I get 300kms to a tank, which aint much for a 60 litre tank. Reckon I need put ins to make it happen

There a 65L tank and you would get more than 300km's when your fuel light comes on you have 9 liters left in the tank

I have personally done the trip my self in a boosted 33 (13psi) about 180awkw, filled up in adelaide then again at horsham and still had a 1/4 of a tank when getting into melb. remember 5th gear highway driving drinks less than city driving

when i brought my R33 in melbourne and drove it back in total it was around 70-90 bucks

left in melbourne with full tank half way pour full tank again then once i reached in adelaide i was on empty

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
