this has been covered 1000's of times but since we are here here is the fuel usage from my last couple of tanks:

465km from 56.88L --> 12.16 L/100km

423km from 52.97L --> 12.52 L/100km

I have had as high as 17 L/100km for a track day and lowest was around 11.5 L/100km when they were all highway kms. Average is around 12.6 L/100km.

On Optimax, 1995 R33 GTST with turbo back exhaust and pod filter thats it. To measure the fuel consumption I set the odometer to zero when I fill the tank then measure how much fuel it takes when I next fill up.

all i know is that i get 240km on a full tank of premium from my er34 auto, how do people get 400-450 on a tank? better/regular tuning? regular maintance? driving like your driving miss daisy?

holy shit

do u thrash the car at every traffic light?

:P

Quoting a useable fuel range doesn't give a measure of consumption or economy (depends how you calculate fuel use). JCMarshall_Law has the only reliable method for establishing fuel consumption, and it is the one I follow also.

General use I experience is 8.4-9.0 km/l, with a best of 9.4km/l, and worst 5.5km/l. Stock boost, FMIC, full 3" exhaust with split dump.

I don't drive like Miss Daisy, but do try to maximise the number of km between fills I enjoy behind the wheel.

cheers

nope im extremely sensible in my skyline :innocent: , really. i drive noramally since the fuel economy is so bad, also after the FMIC mod i did, the fuel usage has increased slightly. Im going to have to take it to get i tuned and checked out, seems to have quite a loud rattling sound coming from the right cam cover....... :werd:

I've check the spark plugs there fine however like most r34 my coil packs are on the way out so maybe a new set might fix the problem. The exhaust gas smells extremely rich, can nissan dealerships be trusted for a tune with the rb25det motor?

I get about 300-360 km per tank. So far I have replaced the O2 sensor, cleaned the injectors, put a pod filter, adjusted teh timing, regapped the spark plugs to .95. After regapping the plugs the economy is worse. I m thinking i should put it back to .8. If that does not work, i m out of ideas for the economy.

Actually I have a bleed valve sitting at about 9 psi. I know that 25DET goes into rich and retarded mode. But does it do that when you are off high boost as well, ie does it run rich ALL the time after sensing high boost?

Guys your cars all sound f**ked.

Stock my car was getting 400-450km.

With mods (240rwkw, 16psi) I get just under 400km before I refill. My last tank (freak tank) got me 460km!

Generally if I give it a lot of thrash I'll get just over 350km. Anything under 300 with normal driving and I'd be sure somethings wrong.

ive got a r32 with a rb25det also .. running 9 psi making 260 rwhp and using safc 2 to manage my fuel and air. It been tuned and im getting around 250k's on city driving.. i am suspicion of my diff gearing though.. it feels very low... but surely it couldnt be causing such a big difference in economy.

Mate,

I feel your pain, I got an er34 gtt too, but manual. If im lucky i go through around 300+ on a full tank.... Im not sure if this is a common problem with the 34's.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
