Adelaide To Melbourne- Wats The Petty Cost Up And Back In An R33?


Recommended Posts

Yo! So im looking at going to Adelaide v Collingwood at last minute after just getting back from bali.

Flight prices are ridiculous but. Ive driven to melbourne in heaps of shitty cars before and cheap cars on gas, but im wondering if any of you guys have driven up in an R33 GTS-t and know roughly how many times your gonna need to fill up?

Hit me up ASAP, need to get back to my mate who is purchasing tickets.

Drove over in my mates Leopard?

That had like a... 60-odd litre tank.

Filled up full in Adelaide, then again at Horsham.

But that was due to a bit of spirited driving.

Sweet, If I only had to fill up once on the way up and once on the way back would be sweet

google maps shows 727km from Adelaide CBD to Melbourne CBD, so factor in maybe another 300k's of driving around in Melb or in Adelaide, say 1050k's, your car gets 400kms to tank (hypothetically), fill up your tank when you leave, fill up once on the way there, again in Melbourne, and once on the way back from Melbourne, so around 4 fills. But thats statistically, shitloads of variables :D

my mate made the trip in his 84 toyota tarago wagon few weeks ago $50 bucks there $50 bucks back now that's economy does not help with ya question thought i would throw it in there :D

haha word. thats a good idea tracking to kms. I reckon realistically I get 300kms to a tank, which aint much for a 60 litre tank. Reckon I need put ins to make it happen

There a 65L tank and you would get more than 300km's when your fuel light comes on you have 9 liters left in the tank

I have personally done the trip my self in a boosted 33 (13psi) about 180awkw, filled up in adelaide then again at horsham and still had a 1/4 of a tank when getting into melb. remember 5th gear highway driving drinks less than city driving

when i brought my R33 in melbourne and drove it back in total it was around 70-90 bucks

left in melbourne with full tank half way pour full tank again then once i reached in adelaide i was on empty

    • does anyone know tie rod torque setting and anti roll bar for r34? Is there a workshop which shows various components torque setting?
    • Hi    have purchased pair of eibach wheel spacer as I couldn’t fit set of wheels I bought for my car due to it catching caliper.   I know I need to cut the bolts on my discs so they sit flush with the nut supplied but the nut doesn’t sit all the way into the groove meaning wheel would not directly fit onto the spacer rather the nuts. Any thoughts?   See pic   https://ibb.co/VJK5w5G
    • Nah. There's not shit tonnes of pressure in there. Just drill with a 1.5mm drill or something equally tiny. When the drill goes all the way through thee gas will start to come out, but with such tiny path through the flutes of the drill bit, it won't be at all dangerous. You can be as paranoid as you like from then on. I'd just pull the drill out while keeping my face out of the line of fire. But then, I spend half my time looking into pressurised furnaces. So my risk acceptance is somewhat higher than most!
    • Been needing a new clutch for a while, but holding off because of life tingz and adulting. But... Being of Asian descent, I can't pass on a good sale, especially everyone else is selling it for $2k+ (JJR has it for $1799). Really on the fence on this one, because the unsprung version of this is $1281 via Shitbox (Sparesbox) and the sprung version is quite a bit more (no idea why Shitbox doesn't offer them). Ending up just sending it and getting the twin sprung organic. Mainly because I wanted the car to be nice to drive and didn't want to make it more of a shitbox than it already is.    
    • It was the pressure I was worried about. @GTSBoy does drilling them pose any problems?
