Thread For My Car Problems.

I don't enjoy my $90 a week fuel bill. 15/16litres per 100km

yeah thats not really a daily for an average growing family...

[Rolls]

Balance fuel costs of an rb? What?

I get under 10L/100ks most of the time!

no you don't

[Hanaldo]

no you don't

Under 10L per 100 isn't that outrageous, I get under that as well. Usually about 9.5L per 100.

[abr33]

no you don't

Absolutely do, I recon id get even down to 8.5-9 on a highway. Its tuned quite lean at cruise, as far as it can without being dangerous. Down side i can only use 98+ octane fuel. But even if i drive hard in traffic i get about 11-12 :-)

Alot of WOT and the fuel goes down as the speedo goes up lol

If my car was that good on fuel I wouldn't be considering the $1500 trade in value on my car for an aurion.

is your car stock std?

other than a complete std r33 with a tuneable ECU could you get 11-12 driving it hard in traffic..., unless your not driving it hard at all...

$1500 trade in value... wtf..?

thats pretty darn crap... strip it for parts

Did you turn O2 feedback off and lean it out at cruise? If you did that I could believe it, but with stock O2 feedback unless it is entirely highway kms with basically no boost Im sceptical.

[lilcrash]

$1500 is pretty bad but what choice have I got, no one wants it and I can't strip it, if I trade it in the finance just gets re evaluated and I get a new car.

[75coupe]

I reckon lots of parts could be sold to make alot more than $1500

it all depends how much you owe on it...

you dont want to end up being in debt for more than the asset you have on hand is worth, thats just silly...

[TTT]

I'll give you $2K for the car this weekend.

No, i am being unfair in not mentioning im running map haltech e11v2 and im running a t04z so I dont get good boost till 3k and solid boost untill 4800 revs so its easy to not use alot :-)

A lot of my driving is main roads/highways but lots of hills... even in citys i still get under 12

Hmmmm maybe you should have bought a second hand engine like everyone said last year.

BTW i got 515km out of my 33 without the light coming on Best i have done so far. Did a few off the clock runs as well (private property of course)

yep, they are f**ked, having come from a magna wagon which does 11.9-12.3 in city, it was a rude shock..bit better with exhaust/cooler etc now..going to get it road tuned with nistune for sure...

cheers

how would that affect my fuel usage?

[Bond]

Would have left a lot more money in your pocket now that you want to get rid of it.

[pipster11]

what injectors are you using? could be poor atomisation of the fuel
