Mileage - full tank

[cowboyb]

Hi all,

I drive a series 1 R33 Skyline ('95). I find that on a full tank, the car can go about 250-300kms. Is that about the normal mileage??

And how my litres is a standard fuel tank (for R33)?

Thanks

My friend has a S2 R33 and he gets about 400km off a tank I think. The tank is 65 litres in the R33.

[T0nyGTSt]

60 litres.

250-300km is bad.

20+litres/100km.

Should be more like 400-500 given reasonable mods.

check if u got a leak somewhere ... or maybe try a diff petrol ...

I've got an R31 with a series 2 RB25DET and a much larger than standard turbo. (hits about 4,000)

I get about 400 km's to 60 litres (i think it's 60 litre tank)

With booting here and there of course

I'm taking it easy on this tank so i wanna see how far it will go

R33 GTS-T - 55L = 350 - 450 depending on fuel and driving composure Actually, prob more to do with the latter.

I've got a R33 95 model. I normally get around 400km per tank, but sometimes get less depending on how much I'm booting it, or if I'm stuck in traffic.

But out on the open roads i get a fair bit more.

My (english conversion) owner's manual says my R33 has a 65 litre tank.... however, I can not recall putting any more than 52-53 litres in here.

Oh, I get 300kms per tank - which I think is crap economy (I have some mods tho)

[NO_RSPECT]

i only ever get about 52L in there but then again the fuel light is never ever on. i think it was on once and even then i still put about 53L in there.

and I am sure that the fuel light will come on with at least 8L in there so I am thinking 60L tank.

I get about 350 off a tank. but i can always smell fuel so yeah maybe there is a leak of sorts.

shockingly guzzly car innit!!

[RadiuM]

for my R32 (rb20det) whenever i fill it up from when the light is on.. it gets 55L in there.

City driving i get about 300-350 per tank.

Country is around 450+

then thrashing it just kills it.. dont expect to get good economy with the boost coming on like mad every set of lights.

400-450kms out of 43 litres. Does the R33 GTST have a fuel light???????????

[Zahos]

My owners handbook says the R33 has a 62 litre tank. The most I've put in was 59.8 litres (running on fumes I think). There is a 10 litre reserve I think, so it should show empty when you have about 10 litres left. I usually get arounf 400km per tank, but a few times I've gotten as high as 450km

[bangahh]

last xmas after oil/spark/filter change on r33gtst

I did Sydney/Liverpool to Albury non-stop 550km/tank

contributing factor = double demerit + constant 110km/hr

mods = 3inch cat bak, pod, bov otherwise stockassz

if u smell fuel check ur filler cap, or where your cap screws on to, the metal thingy you stick the nozzle in when fillin up, mine was vaporising thru there.Or most likely she's runnin rich and under boost, my car was getting 270km out of a tank and on 5-6psi boost. Put the car on the dyno and the A/F ratio was reading 9.XX on 5-6psi AFM was sending wrong signals somehow, solution brought the Apexi SAFC and I was able run more boost and now getting around 400km to a tank...have it dynoed...My bro in law brought a line too and mentioned what happened with mine he got his dynoed and it turns out his was runnin rich and underboost aswell....

last time i traveled from Gladstone to brisbane i worked out that i got about 600 to a tank of jucie(thats from full to bone dry). I'm sure the fuel tank is a 65L

[SKY031]

61 litre tank in mine.

A little over 400k's per tank (city driving)

Extractors are the only current engine mod.

I hope to go on lots of long drives soon so I can tell what the economy is like on the open road.

Shit! That means my car engine mgt must be really bad (250-300km per full tank). I've since gotten rid of the old ECU and have put in a Microtech. So the car's tuned now and should run better. However, I dont think my R33's going to achieve as much as 400km per full tank!

Thanks for the informative feedback guys! With the event of war with Iraq looming, we've got to watch out for fuel usage. Have you seen the fuel prices lately?!! 104.5 for Synergy 8000 (Mobil). Ouch! I'm boosting less nowadays.

"Have you seen the fuel prices lately?!! 104.5 for Synergy 8000 (Mobil). Ouch! I'm boosting less nowadays."

Overhearing the news this morning, petrol prices are expected to "reach as high as $1.15 per litre" -OUCH:whip:

[paulr33]

My 97 r33 GTST Spec II i get around 400ks with a full tank.

Sometimes 350kish when I boost lots

I can only put in like max 53 litres at any time though.

This is with the needle on the redline but no idiot light.

Does anyone know tank capacity when the idiot light comes on?

[surreal]

I have put 64.8l in my series 1...

She stopped and started (stuttered) 50m from the petrol station, thought I was going to have to push her.....

BTW I run just shy of 400km a tank, week in week out, just as she hits reserve (the light) and always have 8-10l left in the tank. No mods 'cept air (exhaust on the way) and I know/can see that she is running way rich.
