Does you car make it out of the garage Matt?

In the last 6 weeks, no it hasn't been out, I've been driving another car.

But it initially got locked away not because of the fuel economy, but because of some attention I stupidly drew to myself and the car...

And I'd take it out tomorrow, except as of Friday just gone, I'm not at my work anymore... So I'm watching how much I have to spend on fuel now... :/

But it used to come out and do 400 - 500KMs a week with that fuel economy... (And that was just normal running around, it only went to work ONCE...)

I'll update you all with my economy once it's all tuned... But be aware, since I don't drive it alot, it often comes out and gets accelerated hard (Sticking within the speed limit though) although on track, it was known to fishtail 3rd gear without being prompted from the brake pedal or steering wheel.. Just mashing the throttle... :bunny:

Hmmm ive always wondered what milage I should be getting out of a tank..

and after reading all what you put im now thinking WTF?!

heres my specs

Car: R33 GTS25

Mods: big stereo

Driving style: give it here and there depending on traffic conditions

Driving conditions: half and half city bumper to bumper driving in traffic and free flowing somtimes aswell

Fuel brand: I mix it up it depends where i am when im running empty i really prefer Caltex Vortex 98 then shell power followed by BP ultimate

Ltr's for a full tank: (about 50L right on empty

KM's per tank: now this is where im worried i get only a max of 330kms!

I think i need help if im getting such shitty results lol anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Steve

Change your O2 sensor.

If it's bunged, it'll really upset your car.

Also check the two wire temp sensor is within spec. If it's saying the car is always cold, then you'll run rich all the time.

Clean out your air filter, and your AFM as well.

Then go grab some Subaru upper cylinder cleaner.

Pull the line from the IACV off, and spray half the can down this hose.

Put the hose back on, and leave it for 5 minutes.

After the 5 minutes are up, start the car up, and get someone to hold the revs up (Up around 3 - 4000RPM) take the same hose off, and spray the other half of the can in, whilst getting the person to stop the car from stalling with more throttle.

The car WILL blow a SHIT LOAD of black smoke whilst you do this, but, it's cleaning the whole engine out of carbon build up. Your car will love you for it. The neighbours won't.

Car: 1994 R33 GTS

Mods: 2.5" Custom Exhaust, stock intake, etc

Driving style: (ie: granny, boy racer, soccer mum): fairly hard... :P

Driving conditions: (ie: city, highway etc): city mainly... probably about 75%/25% city/suburbs

Fuel brand: (ie: caltex 9X, BP 9X etc): Mobil 95

Ltr's for a full tank: (ie: how many litters does it usually take for you to fill right up): 60L

KM's per tank: (ie: how many km's do you get per tank): about 500

Soon to become an R33GTS+t... so we'll see how bad it gets then :P

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
