Stock Manual R33 Gts-t Fuel Consumption.

[HotPlates]

Yeah but with SAFC & PFC you can lean out the fuel, so expect better figures. Don't forget that Jap imports run very rich, partly due to the crap quality fuel we get here, thus the ecu being out of sync. New O2 sensor and fuel injector cleaner works wonders too.

Around town i use 15-16lts/100ks... mostly stock.. not grandpa driving

on the highway i used 9.3lts/100ks

R33 Fuel tank is 65lts

[draaahh]

hey, first post here. Long time lurker i guess

Iv been considering going the R33 GTST route for some months now, there is simply no other cars which suit my criteria, and are designed to fit people over 6ft tall (try sitting in most coupes). But, i do alot of highway KM's (600+ per week), and are wondering how you guys find fuel consumption. I know there is a sticky on this subject, but its mostly on semi-modified skylines getting 300rwkw etc.

How do you find the stock manuals, for mostly highway driving? Is it possible to get over 500k's from the 50L tank when driven conservatively?

If the fuel consumption is high, try replacing the oxygen sensor. The factory sensors are Bosch, but these tend to clog up after a few years, so I have found NGK ones to be better. Part number is O2A395-E2 for R33 GTS-t.

Bumping this for potential buyers.

I ended up picking up a nice auto s2. And so far it has been averaging around 9-10 on the highway, and 12-13 around town. And i rarely drive it sensible. I really don't know why you guys were getting so low k's. This is stock currently, i'd like to modify it, but i would prefer not to mess with the fuel consumption currently

im at 260-270kms with my mods cause of no aftermarket EMU.

no aftermarket EMU lol

i'm getting really sh#t fuel consumption atm - 220km per tank. but i'm getting a remap soon, so hopefully i'll be able to improve that

I get around 350kms off around 42-43L and thats a range of driving....turn boost right down all the time to save fuel....but i jsut cant do it.....i have good intentions tho...

For all those people complaining about shit fuel economy.. this is how to work it out...

1) DO NOT trust your fuel gauge

If i followed my fuel gauge id be in here crying about my economy too...

ok.. here we go

Fill you tank completely

drive drive drive... after 200Ks refill all the way to the top

now divide the amount of litres you put in (lets say 29.56L) by your ks (200kms) = 14.78L per 100kms

According to my fuel gauge my car is empty after 300ks.. however i am currently using 14.4L/100kms

which means id be able to travel at least 450ks before my tank is bone dry

The tank is 65L not 60

serious? always thought it was 60 max..

i swear i filled up once to 59L or so, and it started to over fill.. thats from right from the bottom of the tank, and i could feel the car stravin of fuel, beofre i got to the pump..

hmmm

And dont buy a skyline if you constantly thinkin about fuel prices..

Get a small 2l corolla that will do 600 plus..

first in 5th, cruising freeway im spooled by 90kph and amd roughly on 3000-3200 rpm @ 110kph. if I steady cruise @ 80kph which is just the underside of spooled and I didnt come across any hills of consequence I could probably get a fair bit considering my car still has a 9:1 comp ratio.

I get the 300k's 3/4 tank of gas. I tend to start looking for a station around that bottom quarter mark. I like a healthy 'cooled' fuel pump.

second my car holds 1/8th a tank of gas in its return line so if I give it the loud pedal an the fuel pump goes into high mode its circulates a crap load of fuel around the car.

once I get proper management sorted an tuned (pfc - in the next month) il let you know how much it chews.

just filled up....42L for 344kms.....normal driving....prob a little soft driving cause of the weather....

my old r33 gtst, I used for work got 10L/100kms without issue (city).

I only dump in as much fuel as I need for a day or two and run it down to almost empty. 20L of fuel as opposed to 60L means you are almost 40kg less weight to start with.Less weight means better ecconomy and as a plus better power to weight for a moment of spirited driving. It also ensures a cleaner fuel system, with less built up crap in your tank.

Ensuring a good state of tune and service is important too.

i am currently getting around 340kms out of a near full tank from my modified R33 GTST - car seems to be running a little rich though as their is a strong fuel smell behind my car and the ocasional backfire ;D
