Hi ppl, trying to work out if my car has a problem or not....how many k's do most of you get per tank?

The fuel gague may sit on half right and i'll be driving a bit, then it'll go up like a cm!?!?! then back down a bit more, then up.....what the?

Also how much $$$ does it take you to fill from empty?

i get about 400km to a tank and i run 12psi and give it alot of shit.

my fuel gauge is also ****ed, my float isnt in place (when replacing my fuel pump i found out it was just floating around in the tahnk :() it is a bastar to get it back into place so i just leave it. so from then on i just always know im about 1/4 of a tank around 300km and just fill up ;)

Your guage prolly goes up as you drive because the float is at the rear of the tank, when you take off the fuel sloshes to the back and the fuel guage goes up, when you brake, the reverse happens, fuel guage goes down.

Thats my experence with my r33 GTST.

My fuel usage is about 12.5l/100km or about 400ks per tank.

50L get's me about 320-340 kilometers.

So about 15.6 litres per hundred kilometers.

11 psi, 200 rwkw, and daily normal driving.

Long distances gives me much better.

Did 350 on 35 litres on the GOR trip last weekend.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
