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

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
