my 33 gives me around 360 to 380 a tank in the city,,as a grandma driver.. the most i ever got was on a country trip,,about 450k's..worst was 260kms .

Dnt think its anything wrong with your fuel guage, your car may just be running rich or be out of tune

[Kurtis808]

ah ok, is there any (cheap) way i can not make it run so rich?

Hey kurtis I hope these links throw you in the right direction I got an extra 100kms after changing my O2 Sensor

I too am only getting about 300km per tank on combined city/country cycle. Seems to get about the same mileage whether I drive it hard or soft. I figured it was running rich because thats about 16.6 litres per 100km (V8 territory). In contrast my mother's Soarer gets about 11L/100km on combined cycle.

Perhaps replace the oxygen sensor, coil packs / spark plugs, and get the injectors cleaned? That's what I'll be doing.

I get 300+km to about 40L with spirited driving in a 250rwkw gts-t...

Thanx JamesK,

i got an autoban just down the road from me, ill pop in there on the weekend and see wat they can do for me about an o2 sensor,

hopfully that might get some more ks, if not, it cant hurt getting a new one

[HEKT1K]

+1 to o2 sensor... my fuel economy went from 17L/100km to 12L/100km under similar driving conditions

[Al]

I am getting 640km to 70ltrs, with spirited driving, in a car making 330rwkw

The spirited driving included the GOR cruise to the Twelve Apostles.

640! Al thats insane! No padding to that quote huh LOL Good going AL at least you get some economy out of your Skyline

What can we say his car loves him and is paying back in kind to all the TLC he has shown her.

Got to love skylines.

[jakez88]

lol ur car is a freak AL. its pretty stupid figures for a well tuned skyline Lol.

my series II 33 can get about 500+ for a full tank from full to empty with some good boosting and normal driving.

[zero-R33-]

At the moment I'm only getting around 300kms to a tank, I will defiantly change my o2 sensor.

[Basti]

i used to get approx 450km (30km of that after fuel light on) max. fairly stock auto. haven't had a chance to check economy recently as i've had it tuned, and still in the "honeymoon" phase

[adis]

400km without a problem+running rich.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i average 400ish with signs of richness suburban city driving.

[bluejeans]

300 is my normal on a full tank of bp ultimate, not much difference between city/country

series 2 r33

and I grandma it a fair bit lol

[krzysiu]

between granny driving and the occasional fang i get about 450-500km to a tank

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

[eskaR]

only 250kms + a tank

how much did you get your o2 sensor for?
