i only get 380kms now, when i first got it i was getting 450-480, yeah somethings f**ked

My R33 GTS is really bad on fuel, the best i have done is 240km on a full tank,

and the worst was about 110 on a full tank, and the only thing a have

change is exhaust and filter..... thats around town

You two.. change your spark plugs, air filter, and do a full server. Whilst you've got the air intake taken apart, spray wd40 into the trottle body (open the valve and spray in)

If that doesn't help... buy some silicon and cover your coilpacks in it. This helped my misfiring problem.

Run on 98, I fully recommend vpower. I fall in love with my car every time I've switched back to the petrol.

how many Litres are you calling a full tank? you may just have a dodgy fuel gauge, or possibly a fuel leak. also might be worth checking your o2 sensor

why not use throttle body/carby cleaner?

r33 auto getting around 450KM on a full tank with mixed driving :) after 220,000kms of mileage and a recent fuel filter replacement (saved about 20-3kms/tank)

as with my reply to my first post, how many Litres are you calling a tank?

i have an auto vt commodore wagon. has 18" wheels and is lowered (both add to fuel consumption. wider tyres = more resistance and heavier rims take more power to turn. lowered = poor alignment of the rear wheels because of the change in camber and toe) and it has over 200,000kms on it, so hardly as fresh as it was. i drive 67.5kms to work everyday. about 55kms of the trip is highway, and there is a 1.2km rather steep hill a few kms from work that takes a reasonable amount of accelerator. i've had the car for just over a month now and the best economy i've gotten was 8.86L/100kms. that;s on e10. on premium i could probably get a bit better, but i doubt it would be worth the extra money it would cost, and after all, it's only a dirty old commodore, so i don't care what i put in it.

This is almost every tank since I've owned the car: (L/100km) BP-98

My driving is mostly to work etc/city, so maybe %75 town,%24 highway, %1 warm up/idling/listening to tunes etc. rolleyes.gif

-10.04

-9.45

-11.94

-11.70

-12.07

I think it was roughly here that I changed my plugs and fitted Yellow-Jackets, above averages to 11.04

-10.21

-11.70

-11.79

-10.92

-14.90

-11.78

-17.70

-8.25

-8.89

-11.90

-11.75

-12.09

-11.38

-10.89

-13.10

And that lot averages 11.81

Now I've changed my O2 sensor, reset the TPS and changed the fuel pump and filter, last two tanks:

-10.18

-13.85

But have definitely noticed a good average improvement compared to before.

8.25 lowest, 17.70 highest. (being a good highway run, and one tank flogged around town)

As above, definitely recommend a good "tune up", service and change (if not done already) plugs, coil-packs, fuel filter, O2 sensor, reset your timing and TPS, clean your MAF sensor and air filter (or replace), and check your tyre pressures and alignment, you'll notice a much nicer, smoother car to drive and better economy.

I get 800+ks on the freeway in my lardarse twinturbo auto Soarer (80L tank with 70L usable) with big wheels/tyres standard ECU and a heavy(ish) right foot.

I was getting 650-700ks (highway) from the R33 Gtst when I had it.

Goes to show what a careful tune can do for an RB

Cant wait to play with the 1J tune and fit a surge tank so I can use the full 80L

For my calculation, I was using shells v-power for a long time, with an accurate figure 11.7L/100km for mixed traffic.

Right now as the oil price goes higher I decided to use shells unleaded, with 2 weeks run, i got a figure 10.4L/100km, however, the difference is I went on high way a little bit more recently.

On the user's manual, it recommends both RB25DE/DET to use the 91-93 petrol, and I noticed the compression ratio for RB25s are only 9:1, which is designed for normal petrol, now I found using 98 should probably be a waste.

Lol well being that the Rb25DET was built to use 100ron jap premium unleaded and 9:1 comp ratio is quite high for a turbo charged engine

Eg, 1JZ-GTE is 8.5:1, RB26DETT is 8.5:1 2JZ is 8.5:1 etc

Also the RB25DE is 10:1

and that manual is probably fron the USA yeah? where 93 MON is about the equivilant to our 98 RON

So i would say time to go read more interwebs

got any evidence to back that up? i would really love to get some clarification on this because if they were designed to run on 100 octane fuel then all of the skylines in australia should ping their arses off when run on 98 octane fuel at stock timing, yet i was able to run advanced timing on mine without any pinging. i'm guessing that they were only tuned to run on premium unleaded (either 95 or 98ron), not super unleaded (100ron)

No real evidence...but as far as I know the only blend of Jap premium is 100ron...whether they rate it differently to us I dont know

Plus there is always room to move with a factory tune(not every car, but most) , eg the LS1 is designed to run on 98 but will easily take another 5 degs of advance etc.

Edit - Mine pinged its nut off running on 96 octane

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
