Hey ive got a 1996 s2 R33 Gtst

its got a man boost controller.

Apexi Pod filter

3 inch exhaust system with 5 inch tip

HKS Bov

and yeah

its pretty stock

I think its only running stock boost aswell

Basically i find my fuel consumption isnt behaving as well as id like it to be

Looking around on Skylines Australia i see other R33's getting just over 500kms per tank.

Whilst mine only seems to get under 400. around the 380 km mark.

I just want to know why mine isnt doing around 500kms per tank.

And i would like to know what i can do to achieve 500km/tank.

I think my car is running rich but i dont know.

Someone please help me!!!

Thankyou :)

yea i thought mine was running a bit rich too. i've got the 97 model with similar upgrades and it gets about 450kms/tank at max. i dont know if the only way to change the settings is to install a mod ECU or if they can do it on the standard 1. Apparently they can only work on standard ECUs on GTRs and all R34s i think.

Well i just want to be able to not fang my car and it be good on fuel. i never boot it, i never put my foot down. i drive soo cautious and conservative, but i only get a mere just over 400km to a tank. it sucks. there must be a reason why.

Someone please help

def new O2 sensor and plugs. Also make sure your pod filter is separated from the rest of the engine bay. otherwise it will just be sucking hot air from your engine bay and that is one of the easiest ways to hurt your fuel consumption.

otherwise throw a bottle of wynns injector cleaner through it just to cover all bases.

All of those things and mine went from 350 to 450+ overnight.

Oh Joy.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
