Fuel ecconomy is the only downfall of the Stagea :P

It stock form I wasgetting about 16lt per 100km... Which isn't the best.

Fuel tank holds about 60-65 litres if I'm right - anyone confirm that?

Not sure how well a fuel modifier (SAFCII etc) will combat that problem, but time will tell.

Mcnamg, correct 68L is the tank capacity...and going by the Japan Ministry of Transport 10-15 mode fuel economy standard which is where you got your 13L/100km...they tested 7.7km/L (for 97/08-98/07 built models). For 98/08-01/09 built models the 10-15 mode tested 8.8km/L for the Neo RB25DET.

The other standard is the 60km/h road test which returned a 14.9km/L (data only available for 97/08-98/07 built).

In comparison the 10-15 mode test for the GT-Rs:

BNR32

89/08-93/01: 7.1km/L

93/02-94/01: 8.2km/L

94/02-94/12: 8.2km/L

BCNR33

95/01-97/01: 8.1km/L

97/02-98/12: 8.1km/L

BNR34

99/01-00/10: 8.1km/L

00/11-02/08: 8.1km/L

For all the GT-Rs (exculding the BNR34 - no data) the 60km/h road test returned 14.4km/L.

So by right you should be getting about the same and better for the Neo version.

so is that about 400 - 450k's per tank

That's if you fill it when the light comes on. It should go 520 k's before it stops. Stagea's are too heavy to push, so I'll continue to fill up when the light comes on. :Paranoid:

Funny story...

A friend of our's daughter (just on P Plates) was driving home from Uni when the fuel light came on. So she stopped immediately and called the NRMA. :elaugh:

Oh forgot to mention the 10-15 mode test should not be taken as the actual figures but rather 70-80% of the actual figure as stated by the Japan Ministry of Transport.

Thus 366.52km - 418.88km...but kingscorp guess is about right, well if your off boost most of the time.

i know with the fuel light on my wifes ford fairmont that the manual says that the fuel light comes on when there is only 90kms remaining in the tank this is measured at an average speed of 60 kmh. This means about 10 to 11 litres left in the tank.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
