I get about 400-450km per tank around town, I guess between 13 & 15L/100km but on the highway it is much better. I drove from Toowong/Brisbane to Penrith/Sydney in ten hours flat only filling once at Coffs Harbour. It was very close to 10L/100km and to do that distance in ten hours is no nana driving. Very happy with highway economy.

I am getting around 10L per 100km's with mine for daily driving... Which i thought wasn't too bad.. Looking at some other Skylines.. my fuel economy isn't too bad... :)

If the price goes to what you guy's are talking about... I better dust off my little 998cc mini for a while.. Leave the Skyline tucked away in the shed... :uh-huh:

I get about 350 to 450 K's out of a tank of BP Ultimate, ATM it is about 96c-98c/litre in Brisbane (bloody expensive)...

I still boost the same tho, I guess I can't help myself. My clutch is rooted now so I am forced to boost less! $2,000 should last more than 8 months on a button clutch, my bad.

It still hurts tho

You guys think you've got it bad for fuel pricing, at the moment and past I have been paying $1.08/L for 98 RON and thats apparently cheap here.

I think i'll be driving the g/f's Excel around for soon.

I drive R32 with cat-back exhaust. Lately i was getting ~ 20L/100km. Found out, when the guy did the timing belt, the exhaust cam was 1 tooth out. Now there is no idling problem, alot more pickup and boost. I'll let you know how the fuel eccon goes.

I get about 600km to a 65l tank most times, and thats with booting it at every roundabout, lights, stop sign :) I once got 623km...

But not many mods, turbo-back 3" zorst, pod, bov, 11psi.

Funny thing is it's running quite rich with the odd flame out back!

Can i crack 650? lmao.

I feel bad for yall, sorry to rub it in..

My 33 only gets 300-320kms out of every tank, but when I go to fill it, its never fit more than 50-55 litres max into the tank.

On the other hand, my b/f's brother has the same year 33 as me (both identical) and he gets 400-500 kms out of every tank..and he thrashes it everywhere!!! Oh - and he has a fuel light, I've never seen a fuel light come on in mine, doesn't matter how empty I run it!!!!!

My user manual for 93 R33 says 65L fuel tank.

Seems a lot of posts on this have been saying only get "x" amount of Kilometes on a tank and can only put "x" amount of fuel in.

If you don't put 65 Litres in then you have not emptied the tank. Different guages will show emptyat different levels.

I would suggest that to check fuel economy:

1. Fill tank and reset trip meter

2. Next time you fill note how much fuel you put in and also how far you have travelled.

3. Do the maths to work out Litres/100 Kilometers

If you work out that you get 10 Litres per 100 Kilometers then you could expect 650 Kms from a 65 L tank.

Note to self: Should do this soon as well

i get 480km/ full tank in my r33, no engine mods at all. This is with a bit of a thrash here and there. Fuel prices here are crazy at the moment, up to as high was 107c/litre for regular unleaded average around 103c/ltr, which means that it's difficult to find Ultimate98 anywhere for under $1.10/litre... not cool.

I am getting around 300 to 350ks from a tank in my stock r33. That is city driving with the occasional Booting. Sometimes as the lights and so on i can smell fuel fumes. I think its actually pretty terrible economy. I had a Non turbo silvia for 3 years and i would always get 450-500k's in city driving from a tank. Not half the car the skyline is though.

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
