Mate,

I feel your pain, I got an er34 gtt too, but manual. If im lucky i go through around 300+ on a full tank.... Im not sure if this is a common problem with the 34's.

must be an r34 thing, i just cant believe it, my VR SS 5ltr did about 350km per tank making the 2.5ltr turbo worst - basically i drive about 15km to work every morning of straight no stopping highway travel, i just dont get it.

Eventually i will replace the coilpacks and see if that makes a difference since r34 are known for there coilpack failures.

let me know if this works, cause i've only had my car for under 1 month and i must admitt that i have been giving the car the lead foot however i did own an r33 in the past and in comparison, the r34 does 100km less then the r33

I got an R34 GTT in auto as well... usually only get about 350kms out of a full tank.

There is another thread about installing the SAFC which will kick it up to 600? Surely this would remove performance?

If any of you two have good solutions, please let me know as well...

There is this one item on ebay for $30 which claims to increase fuel economy, just looks like a hose clamp to me - maybe that's the go?

hey

im also curious, as im in the market for a skyline but want a fairly decent fuel usage

how many km's would an R33 GTS (1993) get per tank? (Non-Turbo)

do you run that car on premium unleaded or regular unleaded?

thanks

I've owned 4 R33 GTSts and one R34 GT, all with RB25DET engines and no big turbos/fuel pumps. All cars use/d approx. 9.8l/100km on a combination of surburban traffic/motorway/highway. On a trip ie highway usually around 9.2l/100km.

Trackday - 25l/100km.

Mate,

I'd love to run in those specs, how was your driving habit though. Does these specs refer to staying off boost, changing gears within 2-3k revs. I think i might have to try not giving the car my fat foot, it seems that i get around 15-17ltrs per 100km. If anyone has any other ideas, please pm me...

:confused:

Hey disturb3d,

do you have a stock skyline or have you modified it a bit?

because what bonkers has for his skyline seems to be the norm for those engines and models.

what fuel do you use bonkers in your skyline/s?

thanks

Its slightly modded, 3inch turbo back exhaust, pod airfilter, boost controller,speed delimiter, and thats about it. if the prob is with my 02 sensor, then i would replace the thing for sure

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
