I get 300km per tank... If I'm lucky. Usually it's 280km per tank :(

i think i get good economy now john lol.

the needle is on the e and i normally have done around 380-400km. i dont wait for light.

Also some good news, wife got rear ended in the skyline today. Tool in a ute apparantly "rolled" into her as she was stopped at the lights. Damage minimal. Scratches on rear bar and gouges from the number plate on it as well.

I think it has also pushed boot out of alingement. Biggest issue is that my wife hurt her back quite badly. she started getting sore when she got home. Can i get the guy who hit her to pay for medical costs? I have the fun job of ringing his boss tommorrow to work out what he is going to do about it.

Some people should never get a license.

oh and if any one is thinking about joining a gym to get fit .... dont. The pain after your first weight session should be illegal. i cant bend my arms!!!

i get my best on the moonie highway between a little out of dalby and 30km past westmar. Then it all gets messed up on the 37km of gravel ;)

When I drove from brisbane to mackay in the coon I had an average of 7l/100km. Without cruise control it sits at about 5l/100km/h and with cruise control it's about 6.5.

Around town is about 12/100 because it's auto and i drive in some traffic each day. I think the most I ever saw it was 890 to a tank.

I feel better now, lots of people getting much better economy then I am. It must be a problem with my AFR's and a dodgy pair of injectors/fuel pump. Oh well better get the injectors and pump replaced with better after market ones and get a new ECU and a full tune to sort it out.

*shifty eyes*

great, i've got a throat infection. Can't stop coughing. I'm not supposed to have anything cold either. Pain in the arse. Hopefully these antibiotics will clear it up somewhat fast.

have you tried turning it off and on again?

Have you checked that the power cord is plugged in?

Hello IT

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The button on the side is it glowing?

Yeah you've gotta turn it on.

Push the button!

My ifail has an app for invision boards so that's how I get on here. I just look really frustrated and they think I'm busy and send me a message on communicator instead of talking to me

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
