R33 Gtr Fuel Consumption

[cefiro]

Hey guys just wanted to see what sort of Km people were getting out of R33 GTRs, just regular driving, obviously they will chew if you plant it. how big is ther tank??? I do a fair bit of driving and just wanted to see if driven responibly if you can get good returns from the RB26. I would like to get an aftermarket computer for a proper tune so any results would be great.

cheers

Hi, An R32 GTR tank hold 72lts, Driving steady I get about 500ks when the warning light comes on. Power FC, big exhaust, about 12lb boost.

well, i'm pretty sure the fuel tank is 65 litres, however some sites say 72 litres. not sure which is correct, but so far i've got about 320km out of my first tank.. but i don't know if my car has a fuel warning light when it gets low or if it works, so there was still quite a bit of fuel left when i filled it up.

From what the previous owner said, it's typical to get about 350km max driving in the city, 450 on highway. you may get more if you're travelling at a constant 100km/h from like NSW to VIC or something.

If you start putting aftermarket computers on and modifing stuff, this will probably make fuel economy worse.

And of course if you really fang it... good luck

Whoa. that's pretty good. Where abouts is the needle at when the light first comes on? Above or below the empty mark?

My fuel gauge was just a tad below the E and I thought i'd better fill up just in case.. but i'm pretty sure i put in less than 60 litres to fill it up again.

hey all,

not sure if its the same on gtr's and gtst but when the fuel light comes on isnt there still 15 or so litres left?

anyone with the know-how want to give further insight and confirm or deny this?

personally i get paranoid when the light comes and on and i aim to find the closest BP or mobil to fill up.

sorry for hijacking your thread

cheers in advance,

kind regards,

As plenty of people on here have found out, a well tuned PFC(or any other stand alone) can get heaps better fuel economy than the stocker.

^^^ Thats true. I normally get about 350-400k's of general driving on about 45L of fuel. I ran it down to till the empty light came on last weekend and filled it up from there and put in 55L so If the light comes on when there's 10L left that would make sense as to it having a 65L tank.....If you are getting shit fuel economy I would question your tune before anything else, obviously some tunes are also gonna be more biased towards power than fuel economy so perhaps this is something to talk to your tuner about.

65lt??? well i filled mine up, and unless i have a special tank... its a 75lt tank.

I get around 550-600km a tank BUT thats runnin 5.1psi boost (dont ask...) exhaust and twin filters thats it

btw its a r32 gtr
