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

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.

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...

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

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

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

darren

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)

how would that affect my fuel usage?

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet.
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.
