i get 450-500 out of my 11second gtr but by then its totaly empty 63-65 lt to fill up , driving around in the burbs . i must be very light footed i think .

a stock gtst should use a lot less

thanks guys for the comments yeah something must be up ..is pretty stock has a k and n pod, apexi boost controller (the old one ) no one knows how to work.. im not driving it that hard either... and it always runs out at 250km .. i broke down the other day in the main road it was embarrosing ran out of petrol... everyone was beeping no one got out to help .. the bastards... :upurs:

mines bog stok 2, jus has a megasonic bov, n i can only get 300-350kms from bout 50-60L. only eva use bp ultimate n always put in nf octane booster in every tank.. but meh.. got use 2 50+buks a week for fuel now, been ova a year. have found 2, i can drive on empty for 100ks do it al the time, but the fuel light goes a bit syko.. tiznt recomended 2 go lowr then 65lt.. duznt like 2 corner.. *cough* *splutr*

reckon ne1 in the world has converted a 'line 2 gas.. roflmao!

looks like you're running really rich. get an safc, get the A/F right and you should be getting over 400KM per tank.

in my stock GTR I get around 400KM per 50L, although if I drive it hard it drinks more

given you live in SA i also think you should be getting abit more out of your tank than what you are getting....

from my experience and also reading and replying to many many threads of the same topic:

if you lived within a radius of say 15km of sydney city i'd be very surprised if you got any better than 13l/100km.

if you lived out of that radius then yeah, 10-12l/100km.

victorians also seem to get very good fuel economy, i have a theory that they have better fuel quality and obviously they havent got the same traffic congestion (similar to brisbanites).

13s on the highway sounds reasonably definite a o2 sensor problem, unless ur car is running really shit (if it seems fine then its probably the o2 sensor), in which case it could be anything to do with air/fuel

my car has been getting 15-17s around town, but got 9.5 on a trip to wollongong and back.

    • 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.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
