Fuel Consumption In A N/a Skyline

[r33-Scotty]

so guys i was just here too ask one question

how many kilometres on average do you get out of your n/a skyline

im only getting around 350kms out of a tanks and i dont drive around high rpm so i was just wondering mainly too see if i got a problem or not because that really is not good fuel economy

and im not complaining i wouldnt switch my r33 for anything in the world but just curios is all

If this is in the wrong spot just delete it please.

how many litres are you putting in when you fill up? without that vital piece of infomation it is imbossible to answer

[NISMØ]

That sounds about right for an R33 GTS .. GTS-4 are a bit worst I believe, having potenital AWD + being heavier.

When I had my NA R31, I got about 450 to a tank (400 if I drove spiritedly).

I now have an EF XR6 5 Speed and I got about 650km / tank / normal driving & about 1000km / tank highway driving (quite amazing for the car it is).

This is all using regular 91 unleaded. When I used premium in the 31 I got maybe an extra day or two worth of driving out of it, in the falcon it doesnt make much difference at all.

When I first got the 31, it had heinous economy, however I replaced the oxygen sensor & sparkplugs and it got alot better.

I get 480kms out of a 64 litre tank of 98 (with the 26/30 10.75:1 comp plus big cams)

[r33-Scotty]

i get 350-400 max out of a 60litre tank

its terrible

800kms from 75L in a 1700kg twin turbo whale.

Its all about how you drive them

550 - 650KMs from a 38 litre tank... Around town... Thrashing it...

[r33-Scotty]

how you get more out of a turbo with less fuel and thrashing it

is there something wrong with my car?

[central coast person]

yep its a r33 with all the parts on it from factory so they are not performing like they used to. People with turbo's usally have more knowledge and money than people with non-turbo's, note the engine bay . Thats why there car can get more fuel, its in better condition.

I get 500km to a full tank around normal roads (no highway driving included) using highways about 600km, GTS-4 and its 2.7L now.

I used to get 300km to a full tank but i brought brand new-

Fuel pump

All the Filters

Oils

AAC Valve

Cold start Valve

Coolant temp sensor

TPS

Rebuilt Engine

Engine Gasket Set

O2 sensor

Plugs

seems to have fixed it.

don filters and plugs and oils thats about it

[AngryRB]

its probably not that far out depending on how easy your driving it, even with a power fc and gentle driving i get approx 450 out of a tank, but usually can only get bout 50L into it even on the empty line, so that doesnt sound so bad i guess, maybe your just doing alot of city driving and bit heavy on the throttle plus bit low on compression and tune etc

+1 to the falcon, i drive one daily and it is just superior for doing the km's, 10L/100kms it is just pure torque, its an auto and 1700rpm just gear changes flowing and keeps up with traffic, easy and economical what more can you ask for? handles like a boat but thats not what its being used for lol..

Its all about how you drive them

you have a gtt-L?

they're about 1600kgs or less though, 1jz ones. boosting around i get about 500-600km till the the thing starts to surge under boost. i did about 800kms on one tank when i was driving the thing back from shitney.

[ermi]

I get 450 to 500 km form about 50L, mixed city and highway driving. Also depends on how heavy your foot is

Its pretty much the L-package...has all the options except leather

Prob weighs 1650 less driver

I hated that surge with less than 10L in the tank...fixed it with a new pump though, can go WOT with 5L and no surge

[BLITZ-26]

best i got from my 33 was 750 from the tank hwy driving from full till the fuel light just came on tweedheads to newcastle in nearly a tank was pretty impressed round town averages anout 400+ depending on driving and stop starts etc

i have an L pack too, just that, dickhead of the previous owner, put in an aftermarket steering wheel and boss kit, and cut off the wires for the cruise control and stuff. so, i lost some awesome features.

pray tell, what pump did you put in? new toyota pump? or an intank bosch?

[zebra]

Yeah a Bosch 910 I had lying around

Unlucky about all the cut shit

Is yours a series2? (vvti)

[xALmoN]

nah. s1.

if it didn't have cruise control, it wouldn't have the A/D light coming on right?

i'll have to go hunt for a bosch 910, i'm sick and tired of that surge, and also the L pack's fuel sender is the shittiest thing ever invented. only has a vague idea of how much fuel i have left. so i wait till it surges. lol. so, i'm not sure if i want the surge or not.

[zebra]

wtf is the a/d light? lol

the 910 is only rated to around 400hp, will be using it as a lift pump to my surge tank
