Some of you may have already seen this, but looks pretty nice, not as nice as the Mazda Furai, but still nice :laugh:

You can google for more specs eg.,

Basically they want M3 performance with Prius economy.

a PROPER hybrid, none of this Toyota "i'm supposedly good the environment" Prius rubbish. Hurry up and release a practical example of this, with all the running gear.

wonder how hard it would be to make one of these from an existing car... diesel/electric that is...

It looks awesome...

But I've already contacted two dealers about the LEAF but they're not taking orders yet... ...it looks like it will kick the iMiEV's ass... ...But we'll have to wait two years longer for Nissan to bring theirs to Australia...

In the mean time I just need to save up the coin for my own project...

fully electric cars are the way of the future for general commuting with the hybrid being good for long distances, when they can make a car that can be run solely on electric and recharged from home but still have a diesel engine for long range then they will have made the perfect hybrid.

Check out the Zero Carbon Car... ...it has a small bio diesel generator in the boot to recharge the batteries if the trips get a little too long...

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
