The GTR fuel tank is actually 72l. Fuel economy is very dependant on modifications, tuning and of course driving style. around 350-400 is pretty normal around town and you should get well over 500 on a purely highway cruise with minimal boost.

Hope that helps

geez thats pretty good i didnt wxpect anything like that. thought it would drink pretty steadily. i'm thinking i should seriously think about getting one now.

To be absolutely clear, the tank can _theoretically_ hold 72L, but the factory allows for about a 6L air/vapour space so the tank can never be completely filled. 65L is about the average practical fill for a GTR tank, but some will see more and some will see less.

R33's and R34's have a 65 lt tank, i believe 32's have the bigger tank.

yes r32 gtr's do have a 72 litre tank BUT you wont fit that much in them by the time vapour lock is taken into consideration

fromtime fuel warning light comes on i have only ever fit 63 litres in mine and i doubt they would allow 9 litres of emergancy fuel in the tank

From the R32 GTR factory WS manual:

Fuel tank _nominal_ capacity = 72L

Intake air capacity = 5.5L

As I said, the air capacity is an allowance for vapour, expansion, etc and is deducted from the _nominal_ capacity of the tank, which gives a theoretical max for liquid of 66.5L. Again, some will get perhaps slightly more, some less, which gazza750 has just proven and is certainly my experience.

Just on this, but a little to the side...

Ive noticed that when my R32GTR gets a little low on fuel, mabey 1/3 of a tank, the car seems to run a little rough/chuggy on idle when cold, almost stalls, until up to temp. Buggered if i know why? Any guesses, wouldnt be to do with vapour lock/pressure would it?

Cheers.

Oh i get about 23l/100km as well Beer Baron... :unsure:

in my 33 gtr i get about 14-15l/100 average with normal driving, although can be a bit higher or lower depending on how i drive it... when my GF drives it it chews quite A bit less than my 4l ford (city driving), seen it as low as 11l/100km. the r is basically stock.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
