Hi ppl, trying to work out if my car has a problem or not....how many k's do most of you get per tank?

The fuel gague may sit on half right and i'll be driving a bit, then it'll go up like a cm!?!?! then back down a bit more, then up.....what the?

Also how much $$$ does it take you to fill from empty?

i get about 400km to a tank and i run 12psi and give it alot of shit.

my fuel gauge is also ****ed, my float isnt in place (when replacing my fuel pump i found out it was just floating around in the tahnk :() it is a bastar to get it back into place so i just leave it. so from then on i just always know im about 1/4 of a tank around 300km and just fill up ;)

Your guage prolly goes up as you drive because the float is at the rear of the tank, when you take off the fuel sloshes to the back and the fuel guage goes up, when you brake, the reverse happens, fuel guage goes down.

Thats my experence with my r33 GTST.

My fuel usage is about 12.5l/100km or about 400ks per tank.

50L get's me about 320-340 kilometers.

So about 15.6 litres per hundred kilometers.

11 psi, 200 rwkw, and daily normal driving.

Long distances gives me much better.

Did 350 on 35 litres on the GOR trip last weekend.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
