Hi, I've owned my 1997 r33 gts-t for about 6 days now and I'm a little shocked by the fuel consumption. According to the specs (http://meggala.com/r33main1.html) it says 9.8L/100km. So far I've used 3/4 of a tank and done 335km and 300km's of that was done on the highway driving home from the dealer. The car is a fresh import and the only modifications are a blitz catback exhaust. I haven't flogged the car or taken off too quickly as it is my first turbo and have been abit cautious about it. I was just wondering what sorts of mileage are other people getting from their cars as according to my calculations so far I'm doing about 14.5L/100km.

Thanks

Matt

R34GTT stocky cept exhaust around 13.5/100 city though last tank with a fair amount of highway 9.6/100 , frikin amazed me , I now have a strong suspicion that the Caltex 98 I've been getting aint 98 all the time, actualy I'll go further and say most of the time , as my K's per hundred have been anything from 12/100 to 16/100 all city not much happy foot. :( .

Could be a sad 02 sensor though I don't think thats likely.

Welcome to a skyline lol

You come out with some of the most CRASS STUFF lol

Back to thread...

Lots of variables including...

i) plugs

ii) fill up with V-Power or Ultimate and then recheck

iii) AFR on dyno > yaddayadda

iv) state of tune

to name a few...

My GT-R uses between 12.1l/100Km (hwy) up to over 16 (mountainsides)

    • 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.
