This is an ongoing concern with the RB -

Define horrid consumption?

Something like 250-300km per tank is pretty horrid.

T.

That is horrid, 250-300 km (once I got 350 and that was low revs all the way). Do you have any idea how painful it is to drive for soo long without a decent squirt? thats what I get. I will not go into it because I have gone through all the threads on fuel consumption and the only thing I got out of it was O2 sensor, done that. Filled in 20 litres and got a return of 117km.

Anybody with experience in solving this problem please send me a PM.

I am on the verge in investing in a tune, but what can that achieve?? It's a standard computer. I have put off increasing boost because I want to fix this problem, and I reckon it's not fair that a lot of you get 450-500 km with mods!

mmmm.......let's say 20 litres = about $20.00 (expensomax fuel).

I get 120km per $20.00 (city driving)on expensomax fuel!!!!!

(and I'm 'happy' with that... (i don't drive unsafely, but I don't exactly drive like a poofter)..........it is an R33 with a wizza!!!)

You're doing ok...maybe just lighten the right one a little??

Mark.

PS. SRB 33.......sometimes it's smarter to take 'reports' (like other's fuel consumption), with a grain of salt (?)

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
