hey guys im a newbie and thinking about buyin a skyline. I just need to konw how many litres a r33 skyline takes and also how many ks do you guys usually get out of them if you dont drive it to hard.

R33 non-turbo - 2.5 litre

R33 turbo - 2.5 litre

R33 twin-turbo - 2.6 litre.

I have a r33 RB25det - driving not too hard get about 400-450km to 50-53L.

Usually works out about 11-12L /100km

Not really great but I am going to install a jaycar fuel adjust to lean it out slightly because I know the AFRs are too low when on boost. Also will check the 02 sensor is working preoperly as these can make a huge difference to fuel economy.

Hopefully get about a 10% improvement.

I drive in kind of freeish flowing traffic but give it a little bit every now and then.

WIth the fuel prices the way they are echos are looking better.

Rememember 98 octane is another 10c more pre litre aswell :(

Good cars though

I get around 12L/100km. They arnt too bad unless ur gonna frequently drive around on boost... they get stupid thirsty with high rpm & boost.

I do alot of highway km's, and find that consumption could be better here... they are reasonably high reving, near 3000rpm in 5th at 100k's.

geezus. i wish i got fuel economy like you 12l/100 boys.

I get 20l/100kms, and that's with probably 70% of those kays done crusing at 100+ on motorways etc... i do have one faulty 02 sensor so i'm hoping when i fix that i can get down to around 15l/100. that would make me happy. plus crusing at 100kms the thing is on boost with just the slightest bit of throttle. oh well, thankfully we have another car for tooling around in the city etc.

yeah, i wish for a 6th gear on the motorway. at 110/120 it's reving at about 3500rpm in 5th... not good.

you can get better out of a Gen 3 lol

and even 12l/100km seems high if its highway driving! my 2.2l TX5 gets under 10l/100km if its on the freeway, 100-110 revving at about 2-2500RPM... (i know its not turbo) but if ur cruising and not on boost, it shouldnt be that much worse

oxygen sensor beer baron... i wouldnt stand for consumption like that! RB25 is a small engine, you can get that kinda consumption out of a genIII v8!

yeah, i know the sensor is stuffed as it's reading doesn't move even mildly in sync with the front one. it's an RB26 though running 250kw atw. just been lazy as i don't do many k's so it doesn't really bother me. the k's i do in it are for fun so it probably doesn't spend much time in closed loop anyway! plus RB26 02 sensors are harder to get/more expensive than the generic ones you can use in RB25s etc. ;)

edit: my power FC is tuned very rich up top (for safety margain on the track) so again not helping consumption. :);)

there is a big difference between a 2.2 NA car weighing 1000kgs reving at 2500rpm @110 and a 2.6 twin turbo car (producing tripple the power++) weighing 1500kgs reving at 3500.

i get about 300-320km out of tank (premium) in my r34 (using the soidnoid mod therefore running a bit more boost), thats driving normally however the fuel gauge shows that at half-tank i've done about 200km then technically i should get another 200km out of the rest but i only get atleast 100km ;) seems to go down alot quicker after half way.

alittle of topic but does your skylines have a strong petrol smell as soon as you get out of the car after a decent drive? mine does and im just wondering if this normal.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
