im getting around 250k per tank in my r32...thats utterly ****ed. Any1 have ideas as to why? Thats with not giving it at all, changing gears at 2500/3000rpm. Ive got a remapped ecu, and the AFR is around 10.3 all the way thru the rev range, so its abit rich...but would it make that much of a difference?

Get your oxygen sensors checked... they may be dead... thus leading to overly rich mixtures. It's a prob I'm going through right now as well... just haven't had the spare cash to get the O2 replaced.

Currently getting 250 km's when the right foot is heavy.. yuck... 320 km's @ absolute most shifting so early the turbo goes to sleep...

Anybody know how much an O2 sensor should cost?

i gotta stockish r33, 3" exhaust with pod, get bout 450 from a tank with givin it a bit of shtick here and there, also i would like to add i get a few more k's out of bp ultimate than i do from optimax, and better performance, maybe thats a pointer too?

could just be paranoid delusions also

I recently got ~50 less kays to a tank on low boost (10psi) with BP 98 fuel than I do on high boost (16psi) with Mobil 98 fuel.

For some reason my car doesn't like BP fuel as it feels flat in the mid when coming on boost and slightly hesitates.

Mobil definately feels a lot snappier.

I have kept a record of every drop of fuel I have put in my car for the last 6 months and how many k's i am getting. I will make a new thread with the results after a few more mods so people can get some idea what to expect.

I started stock, then added 3 inch dump pipe and hi flow cat, then pod filter. next is a PowerFC which I am sure will make a big difference to my mileage.

I have not added up any results yet but will be interesting to see. Will keep u posted, just as soon as i get the PowerFC.

i keep a close watch on my consumption as well.

Its pretty damn bad! With at least 90% heavy city driving(i live in the city so theres a million sets of lights to get anywhere :P ) i get 300-320ksMAX from 50 litres. SO that works out to be minimum of around 16.5l/100km

on the freeway i can get between 400-500kms out of a tank (depending on the average speed more than anything else) so thats around 10-13l/100km

so yeah ive found consumption really depends on how and where you drive.

Edit: car is very close to stock.

When I was still driving auto R33, was pretty bad on fuel consumption, city driving could be about 15L/100km. The best is 13L/100km. Hwy cruising is average 11L/100km.

Now I drive manual R33, found fuel consumption is a tad better, with city driving around 13L/100km, but hwy cruising does not differ much from auto's 11L/100km, the manual is slightly better at 10.5L/100km...

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
