    Driving From Brisbane To Melbourne

    in Queensland

    Posted

    Iv done it in 18 hours before and worst was 26. Made the mistake of trusting my gps and it took me via sydney in peek hour. Was great getting 300km's to a tank and having a clutch that didnt disengage properly in a brand new car id just dropped 20k on. Was fun driving a 350kw car back though:P

    The newell is the way to go. I normally just look at the map write down all the town names i needed to go through and drove via the roadsigns.

    So how much fuel did you spend in total? what is your XX L / 100 km's ?? 350 kw i think your car is similar to mine that eat lots of fuel on normal drive, i have no idea about highway drive.

    thanks

    in all honesty cost it up. looking at what you have said I would toss it on a truck and meet the car at the depot when it landed. seems cheaper than driving it UNLESS you want to do the run for the experience and have the time to do so.

    Yea because it would be around $650 - 700++ for FUEL , plus some motel so it is around 800.

    I wanted to do the run, but think about the risk of driving at night and have no experience at all. I might pass it and toss it on the truck for $500. Unless i really have time to drive and have the money to stop for days.

    Thanks for all the tips guys!! Appreciated it!

    Just wondering how much fuel I am expecting to drive 1700kms using my R33? I just got a quote from TOLL for 500 depot to depot delivery. If plus air ticket it will be under $650 total to get me and my wife to melb with my car.

    I am wondering if I drive there it will be more expensive because of fuel and motel?

    If battery keeps dying, won't it be an alternator problem?..

    Or is it because of the cold weather? I know that short drives + loud music w/ sub can drain the battery before the alternator can charge it

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, maybe that's what happened to me!!! i had pretty good sound system and maybe the battery went flat before the alternator charge it!! That is why the battery keep going flat and die. And short drive yes :(

    yeah it will cost a couple of hundred including remove and refit.

    personally I'd recommend puting a reconditioned alternator in rather than just a second hand one.....you never know how long another second hand one will last before you need to replace it again.

    do you mean ask a auto electrician to rebuild the alternator inside for me? do you know roughly how much it will cost? and i have no idea how to remove it from my car and refit it :(

    sounds like mine when my battery dead, the battery got not enough power to start the car. If jump is working then your car can still use the battery for a few days/weeks?

    Jump means you taking other's car battery power to start your car and then you still use your underpower battery, the car do charge the battery but it won't last long anymore. It will die soon so replace the battery asap.

    Hi Guys,

    I just had my battery replaced. I did it myself.

    What i did:

    I went to supercheap and bought a battery branded "Century" with slightly bigger size battery(the guys said this have more power and it have no problem as long as i can fit it in) because they don't have the one exactly same with the old one i using.

    And i went back home then replace my battery, it was pretty quick. After that, yay! my engine started but then i realize i can't turn on my stereo system(radio) , there is no power on stereo. Also the batter light is ON on the dashboard.

    I then went back to supercheap and get another guy to check what is wrong with it, he took out a Century battery meter(tester) and then test my car. When he ready he asked me to start my car and then the meter read 10.5V(around) and he told me it has to be minimum 13.X v . Rev the engine won't raise the V too. Then he told me that my "Alternator" is broken and need a replacement for that.

    He said the Alternator won't charge the battery anymore that is why it stay at 10.5v and he asked me to drive back home asap and then find a mechanic to replace my Alternator.

    Is he correct?

    Just want to make sure before i go and buy an Alternator from wreckers.

    Thanks a lot guys.

    p.s Also my car wasn't so smooth on idle. It's like close to dead, probably it's because it only have 10.5v?
