hey guys im a newbie and thinking about buyin a skyline. I just need to konw how many litres a r33 skyline takes and also how many ks do you guys usually get out of them if you dont drive it to hard.

R33 non-turbo - 2.5 litre

R33 turbo - 2.5 litre

R33 twin-turbo - 2.6 litre.

I am thinking to get a Skyline too. good luck with petrol, u gonna need it for skyline

lol i think he's after tank capacity mate, not the engine capacity

[skylinesome]

hey yeah im after tank capacity and how many ks u get out of it not driving it to hard

i think its 60, or 65 litres for the R33, and i've heard most people say they get like 400-500kms out of it

[benl1981]

I have a r33 RB25det - driving not too hard get about 400-450km to 50-53L.

Usually works out about 11-12L /100km

Not really great but I am going to install a jaycar fuel adjust to lean it out slightly because I know the AFRs are too low when on boost. Also will check the 02 sensor is working preoperly as these can make a huge difference to fuel economy.

Hopefully get about a 10% improvement.

I drive in kind of freeish flowing traffic but give it a little bit every now and then.

WIth the fuel prices the way they are echos are looking better.

Rememember 98 octane is another 10c more pre litre aswell

Good cars though

I get around 12L/100km. They arnt too bad unless ur gonna frequently drive around on boost... they get stupid thirsty with high rpm & boost.

I do alot of highway km's, and find that consumption could be better here... they are reasonably high reving, near 3000rpm in 5th at 100k's.

[sewid]

In city peak traffic i used to get 280 - 300km per tank from my R33 with the stock ECU.

[Beer Baron]

geezus. i wish i got fuel economy like you 12l/100 boys.

I get 20l/100kms, and that's with probably 70% of those kays done crusing at 100+ on motorways etc... i do have one faulty 02 sensor so i'm hoping when i fix that i can get down to around 15l/100. that would make me happy. plus crusing at 100kms the thing is on boost with just the slightest bit of throttle. oh well, thankfully we have another car for tooling around in the city etc.

yeah, i wish for a 6th gear on the motorway. at 110/120 it's reving at about 3500rpm in 5th... not good.

[Mickroy]

oxygen sensor beer baron... i wouldnt stand for consumption like that! RB25 is a small engine, you can get that kinda consumption out of a genIII v8!

[**JaR**]

65 litres, says so in the manual.

i vote search next time coz this has been covered heaps of times before

[**JaR**]

oh and i get like.... 400kms sumtimes more from a full tank.

[dezz]

you can get better out of a Gen 3 lol

and even 12l/100km seems high if its highway driving! my 2.2l TX5 gets under 10l/100km if its on the freeway, 100-110 revving at about 2-2500RPM... (i know its not turbo) but if ur cruising and not on boost, it shouldnt be that much worse

[**JaR**]

but it is, turbo cars and fuel economy dont work. the end.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah, i know the sensor is stuffed as it's reading doesn't move even mildly in sync with the front one. it's an RB26 though running 250kw atw. just been lazy as i don't do many k's so it doesn't really bother me. the k's i do in it are for fun so it probably doesn't spend much time in closed loop anyway! plus RB26 02 sensors are harder to get/more expensive than the generic ones you can use in RB25s etc.

edit: my power FC is tuned very rich up top (for safety margain on the track) so again not helping consumption.

there is a big difference between a 2.2 NA car weighing 1000kgs reving at 2500rpm @110 and a 2.6 twin turbo car (producing tripple the power++) weighing 1500kgs reving at 3500.

yeah at the time i was thinking u had an R33 GTS-T because thats what this thread is about

[RyanN]

i get about 300-320km out of tank (premium) in my r34 (using the soidnoid mod therefore running a bit more boost), thats driving normally however the fuel gauge shows that at half-tank i've done about 200km then technically i should get another 200km out of the rest but i only get atleast 100km seems to go down alot quicker after half way.

alittle of topic but does your skylines have a strong petrol smell as soon as you get out of the car after a decent drive? mine does and im just wondering if this normal.

[benl1981]

Apparently with a FMIC and stock ECU you can use quite a bit more fuel as the stock ECU doesnt know what to do with the extra airflow so it throws more fuel into the mix. Either get a SAFC or similar or PowerFC
