I have. It is made of brick and is commonly termed a garage :P

It is definitely possible to get over 700kms before the light comes on whilst cruising at 100-120kph.

It has been done a number of times and with a favourable road/breeze, 800kms when the light comes on is possible (rare though)

I have a garage to. just my dad and sister seem to beat me to it.

i dont think ill ever get more than 400Ks out of mine. maybe when i lean it out. doubt it though

I generally get about 400km out of mine also, but on my way to the snow I did 659km from 70.8L of fuel, ie 10.7L/100km.. I think we've got an 80L tank, so theoretically could've squeezed more out but the light was well and truely on at that point. What fuel consumption does your Informeter give you?

I get between 450-550 city and I have got 800 out of one tank kept it at 100-110kph but.. At 120-130kph its about 650..

Installed the new head unit and sub into the cargo storage.. Much better sound now.. Whilst doing that realized the muppets that drilled the holes for the child restraints didnt silicone it properly now I have leaks in the rear area.. So anoying..

to be honest havent set up the fuel consumption on it. the car sayse something stupid like 6.7/100km which i would like if it were true lol

Unless you've had the english conversion done, the readout is actually in Km/L, not Litres per Hundred Kays, so yours is probably about right.

are you talking about after markets or just new globes? i'm currently using 8000k's although I prefer 10,000k.

as long as you have your lights angled down it shouldn't be a problem!...I drive at night mainly and I never get flashed or pulled over.

Be careful when choosing the Kelvin rating of your new lights - as outlined here, Kelvin rating has little to do with the actual light output. Kelvin is a measure of colour TEMPERATURE, so basically how "warm" or "cool" the produced light is, not how bright.

that would mean i should get 537kms out of the tank though. I need to lean it out i think.

couldnt agree more. i remember having an argument with someone at Autobarn trying to sell me these. I had to dumb it down so much by saying lets refer Kalvin as Kandles(candles) having 8000kandles is going to be warmer that 6000kandles. still didnt believe me. i showed him it in the book. why do they hire these people

You would if you drove it dry mate.

You should get another 120kms for so once the fuel light comes on (maybe more), but I remember you saying that you only run it down to the 1/4 tank mark?

Bought 3rd set of new fronts seats

have to decide which ones to put in

Evo 8 Recaro's

Brand new bright red Millinium Recaros's

Black Drift R34 GTR copies.

Collecting new engine parts for forged Rb26 swap

Brand new R32 GTR engine wiring harness, Nismo conrods, ACL multi layer head gasket, ARP head bolts, Genuine gasket kit, s/hand spitfires, stock ecu for Nistune. N1 oil pump (might change to Nitto)

next pistons, bearings, maybe new crank, and head parts like valve guides, springs etc and a pair of -5's = 400rwkw and hopefully a high 11 sec :D .

What youve said confused the shit out of me mate :P Heres how I understand it.. how far off base am I? :D

Kelvin is a measure of heat - think of it as degrees celcius if it helps. Now, when you heat up a piece of metal, it first goes red hot - if you can keep heating it then it starts going yellow, heat it even more then white hot.

Candles is a measure of how BRIGHT something appears, in a darkened room, you light 1 candle - and you'll illuminate the room to a certain extent. Light a 2nd candle, and the amount of illumination increases.

So, the rating of 8000kelvin for a set of headlights is the equivilent to how HOT it is getting which determines the colour (5000, yellow hot, 8000 white hot)

A rating of 1000 Candles for a light is a comparison to how many candles would need to be light the same amount of area.

SO, you can have 5000kelvin 1000 Candle and youd have a yellow light.. or you can have 8000kelvin 1000 candle and itd be quite a white light. Both would illuminate the same amount.

yeh thats a better way of putting it! but this guy is stupid and cant weld. he is an old friend who i think should never have been given a car. the only way he'd understand is if i burnt him with a candle lol

You would if you drove it dry mate.

Yeh your right. i only run it to 1/4 at max. but that when i only get about 250 to 280. 300 hundred is about half way through that last quarter

i bought another M35

Iaiaaaiaiaiain, I bet its got awsome economy.

Ohhh i forgot to mention something.

Bought me an eManage Ultimate today with a universal harness for $676.00 Aud directly from Japan with free shipping.

oh.. its BRAND SPANKING NEW :D

Funny noises coming from the front of my car, so I think some coil overs might be needed (either that or some ball joints/bushes are STUFFED) :rolleyes:

Sounds like a piece of gravel is in one of the shocks rubbing up and down as I go over bumps and corners.

Anyone got some coil overs they want to sell :D

I think i'm on my way to around 500K's to 70L (14L/100K)!!!

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
