Not a skyline, but same engine etc. Manual and about 50/50 highway and driving hard/city driving.

And I was getting about 570kms to about 55L so thats about 10.4km/L So not toooo shabby, and thats with exaust, pod, idle too high, and about 11psi, and the extra of the two doors :P . Both Optimax, and Ultimate used.

Hi all,

I have just bought an R33 last week. I have been a bit concerned about the fuel consumption. At last estimate I filled about 21 litres and got barely 100km.

Going by all your posts this sounds insane. Is there a reason why It maybe drinking so much? I'd appreciate some feedback. My email is [email protected]

I fill up until I can see the petrol at the top of the snout.

I get around 250km/s to the first half of the tank then by the time the red light starts to come on and off due to the little bit of fuel swishing around it generally has done around 470km's.

For a while there I had fuel consumption drop to just over 400km's to a tank of juice.

I then remembered I hadn't used a bottle of that Nulons Total Fuel System cleaner for around 1year. Slapped a bottle in and over the next 2 tanks I began getting the ol' 470km's to a tank again.

If I drive to my oldies place which is around a 20min drive each way doing 100km/h I will get just over 500km's to a tank. I have never driven the car long distances so I don't know how many kays it would get from constant cruising. All my driving is just out side of the city in 50 & 60km' zones. Lots of short trips of around 10-20km's each.

From day 1 i've tried to keep the fuel system clean by changing fuel filters every 6 months, the Nulon total fuel system cleaner really does appear to keep the fuel economy up there.

The car is a little modded with a 3" turbo back exhaust, 16psi, external Bosh 910 fuel pump. Stock ecu etc.. from the mid range onwards the AFR's do run in to the 10's at WOT.

I'm about to drop another motor in so it should be interesting to see the fuel consumption INCREASE.. :D

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      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!
