G'Day everyone,

I recently bought a 1995 R33 Turbo Skyline and got a bit of a surprise at how thirsty it is (compared to my Toyota Corolla I traded it for!).

Without driving too aggressively, I only manage to get 290 km from 50 litres of premium unleaded petrol - does this seem about right for my car, or do I need a tune up?

Thanks for the advice ...

Dan

some people get guzzlers some don't.

For the majority of driving time I'm sitting on or below 3000rpm and always change at 3000 rpm. Doesn't help my consumption though. I get about 330-350 to a tank.

I've tuned, replaced o2 sensor but nothing has helped.

Just gotta accept that for some reason, some people get good consumption and others don't.

don't accept it, i get about 400km to the tank with an untuned PFC and an idle thats fu(t and runs at 1500rpm, also runs really rich cause the the lack of tune, so yeah something wrong, hoping to scrape closer to the magical 500km per tank with a tune, i'll let ya's know

your running very very rich to only get 290km on 50 litres. Im running rich and get 400km on a full tank.

Is this city driving only or mixed? Also remember boost comes on fairly early (approx 2300ish rpms on std turbo) so perhaps driving normal for you may mean changing gears at 3500rpms when the turbo is really on boost which equals more fuel consumption. But thats only a possibility i threw up in the air...

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
