R33 Fuel Economy

[l0WRB]

hey guys ive tried searching couldn't find wat i was looking for

just wondering what fuel economy you guys get out of your r33

i dont get the best, around about 250kms>$65 bp ultimate around town

10psi

cooler

exhaust

walbro pump

5spd

could anyone else tell me if this is normal or bad?

[sinistaGTR]

there a plenty of threads on this do a dearch, yes your fuel economy seems a bit low, but depends how you drive your car.

I usually get 350, but I hear that some people get 400-500.

Last week I got 400... which is just a freak thing. I haven't modified my driving style at all.

[mad082]

i get about 250-300kms to about 50L. i have the usual mods, fmic, exhaust, 12psi, pod, and a lead foot. and it is about 99% town driving, and spending ages in maccas drive thru cause they are useless here.

[paulr33]

a touch under 400 ks to a full tank. tuned r33 with the usual mods, fmic, exhaust, 12psi, fuel pump and so on. 02 feedback is turned off on the powerfc. on highway i can get just near 600k's

[eMsta]

best i have gotten was around 400 at around 54ltrs

these days im getting a constant 350 (or thereabouts) for 50 ltrs

[Birnie]

I usuallt get right on 500 just before the light comes on but that's commuting from Central Coast down the freeway to Sydney.

Not much fangin' involved.

Also, it was 500 with Nissan ECU and the same now with the PFC

[mrgilly]

I have an R34, but stock with cat-back exhaust I was getting 420-600 depending on driving style, with boost up I'm getting 360-500 (each off just under 50L)

[nickcorr]

My factory stock R33 SII 4dr auto gives me an average fuel consumption of about 11.6 l/100km which is about 430km on a 50l fill up.

Any idea how that will change when I fit a 3" catback and K&N panel filter?

[Liz]

dude you have the same last name as me.. that makes you a legend

/end whoring!

[GTR_Legend]

usually fill up around the 1/4 mark, bp ultimate, 3"exh, pod, FMIC and on 7-8psi, getting 300k, also depends on driving. Mostly m4

Just had a major service, installed exh cam gear and EBC so will see how it goes now!

Do all R33's have fuel lights? Never had mine come on but have had it near the line!

[Guilt-Toy]

the light will turn on for about 5 seconds then turn off when you get in the middle of the line then it will come back on and stay on when you have about 10 litres left i think.

You get plenty of notice on a r33 (so im told) ive done 30 ks when the light came on and turned off again

maybe i will test it, i have never seen it come one when i have run pretty low, but then again the fuel goes down and comes back up a bit again, not 100% accurate!

I get about the same. Around town, havent really been pushing it. 5spd manual, similar mods: cooler, pod, exhaust, 11.5 psi

$70 ultimate got me 270kms last time round :\ gonna get it tuned so it doesn't run as rich, then we'll see if it improves.

ah you have plenty of time even when the light goes on... you can get a fair way down under the 'E' line as well... its only when you turn a corner, get on the gas and it misses and splutters that you need to fill up LOL

[l0WRB]

ive never seen a fuel light on mine? do series 1 not have them?

[R31Nismoid]

Ah come on dude. You didnt even have to search, dont tell fibs

R33 - pod - 3inch exhaust - plumb back bov.

I only got 380kms out of 50litres, and 200kms of that was 5th gear freeway kms.

I'm looking at about 250-300kms per 50litres city driving.

I drive it easy, jump on boost quite often, standard skyline behaviour.

Changed my O2 sensor last week. Has made no difference at all.

The way I see it, you want performance, it's gonna chew up fuel.

On the other hand, my mate's FPV F6 turbo goes through a tank every few days. Now that's crazy.

[bombastic]

I get 13L/100km with plenty of boosting, stock apart from 3" turbo back exhaust & solenoid boost mod.

[Munkyb0y]

bombastic, is that city driving? or highway? or both?

how are you finding that solenoid boost mod? big difference in performance?
