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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
