Hi Guys

I was talking to the software developer about the timing for the finished product this week (not confirmed yet, but latest should be September) and he mentioned that he is able show the fuel consumption in either km's/litre or litre's/100km's.

From what I see the norm is to talk about L/100km's. He is able to convert the fuel economy (or lack of it) screen to read this way.

I would think this is a great upgrade in the english conversion but I just need to know if anyone would not be happy with this change in showing the fuel usage?

Let me know your thoughts?

Cheers

Andy

I don't mind in L/100KM as that's the convention used here in Australia.

In asian countries like Japan where the car come from, consumption is often measured in km/l to show how much km you get from each ltr you put in the tank... the mindset there is the bigger the number on screen, the better it is.

Just going to bump this up because it is of interest to many...

Will there be any progress on the Sat Nav map side, as per the M35 info thread? If I understand it correctly, they can potentially do something for the DVD version but not the older CD version?

I theory, yes it can be done but there will be quite a few obsticles to be overcome before it would be available.

The english conversion of all the non GPS screens is due September and depending on the response to this first release the GPS conversion may be worked on as well.

It all comes down to the comercial decision of the time and effort v's the return in sales.

I am speaking on behalf of the guys in Russia who are doing the converting and this is what they have indicated so far.

Cheers

Andy

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
