Hey all,

I just got my car back from tuning a few days ago.

Its a pretty much stock r33 gtr, just with a power fc and an exhaust.

Its running 222rwkw @ 12 psi.

im getting around 420km to a tank driving sensibly and around 360 to a tank when i give her a bit of a hard time.

is this a good healthy result? power wise and economy?

what do you experts think :(

cheers!

That sounds nice/healthy.

I get about the same as you, my mods are twin airpods, down, front pipes and high flow cat stock catback atm.

Stock +0.7 Bar (10.9 Psi) of boost.

If I really drive sensibly I can get 250kms just under half a tank, X 2 = 500kms, but I usually fill up when it hits half as half a tank last me about a week.

Plus you got an APexi Power FC which will help out with your air/fuel mixture.

hey, thanks for the info!

i've always wondered, are 32's lighter on fuel than 33's in general?

just curious!?

R32 GTR's are lighter, so there is less weight to push.

From memory I read this from some where...

R32 GTR = +0.7 (10.9 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

R33 GTR = +0.8 (12 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

R34 GTR = +0.9 (13 Psi) Bar Boost (Stock)

(I will have to check...)

So the more the R33 full boost, as apposed to the R32 full boost, the R33 will need more fuel as it is running a higher boost level.

But it's MARGINAL... So it should not make much of a difference but it will add up in the end.

Very tidy S3 mate, as for keeping it stock - yeah, right :(

With exhaust, front pipe, high flow panel filter in stock airbox and PowerFC my R33 just made 239RWKW, so power wise yours seems pretty much on the money.

No idea about fuel economy though, I just fill it up and go drive it some more >_<

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol.

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By ck_chino · Posted

      Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
