Well I thought I would conduct an experiment. Firstly I ran my Stag until the fuel light just came on. Then I filled her up to the second click of the pump, 63.7ltrs of BP Ultamite, I usually use BP cause I can use fuel dockets with them Then run it until the same position on the fuel guage and see how many kms I could squeeze out of it. So here is what I did: * NO throttle above 10-15% * NO boost, well do not let it go into the positive boost range on my gauge. There were times where it did go into the positive, but these were few and fair inbetween and it never went above the 5psi like a spike not kept at that level. I became an expert and modulating the throttle to keep the needle hovering around the 0 mark * RPM match/speed match gear changes, still using the clutch. * NO riding the clutch at lights. * NO red light Grand Prix, not that I would, or anyone else here would.... * Driving along the route that was the best compromise between the distance to travell and the amount of sets of traffic lights to encounter. * Roll along in Neutral when going down a hill, coasting to a stop, coasting along a flat piece of road, and generally when the throttle is not needed to maintain speed. * When slowing for a red light, try not to come to a complete stop and leave enough speed to easily accelerate using second gear, not first. * Make gear changes at 2,500rpm or MAX 3,000rpm. * Making most economical choice of gears. For example I was using 5th once up to 60kph, but if I encountered a small hill, instead of leaving it in 5th and using more throttle to bring on boost, down shift and use suitable gear that would keep me at the limit and not create any positive boost. * Not going over 100kph. This was going to be 100kph but had to do a trip to Yeppoon and back, (~50kms), and the limit was 100kph so tried to stay at 80kph until traffic caught me then I would sit at 100kph until an overtaking lane and let all the traffic past. Considered but did not do: * Remove front drive shaft so that front drivetrain section did not take any load. Ended up not doing this as I assumed that since I was accelerating so slowly that the fronts would never be engauged. * Turning off motor at lights or on extended downhill rolls. Ended up not doing this as the light changes were on average less than 45seconds, and turning motor off during downhill rolls could potentially be very dangerous if you had to take evasive action whilst in motion as all hydraulically powered equipment become sluggish. Also I would guess this to be illegal anyway. * Turned boost down from 10psi. What would be the point in doing this, as I would not be hitting positive boost anyway. Now about 4mths ago I had Mercury Motorsports do a "economy" tune on the power-fc, so I cant comment on the amount of power I am running, but was very happy with the tune for highway driving as they spent most of the time tuning the 80-100km in 4th and 5th with low throttle positions. Still the high % throttle positions felt great for delivery of power. Not even going to guess how many awkw I have atm. So after lasting 9 days more than what a usual tank of petrol lasts me here is the results: Firstly, driving around like normal: 300-350kms/tank (roughly) Fall of Wickets: Mark on Petrol Gauge - Km's Showing on Odo Full - 0kms 3/4 - 134kms 1/2 - 169kms 1/4 - 154kms E Light - 96kms For a Total of 553kms out of a tank of petrol, (~63ltrs). So it just goes to show you just how much you can stretch the petrol out to just by changing your driving technique. That said, it has been the most boring two weeks of my life, on the drive to and from work

That is a wierd looking place to put your chicken Joshwa, i thought you were over that whole "beastiality" part of your life.....?

of course it is, sorry for leaving in the stiffie!

yeah it was a google video too, but it definatly does not have stagea in the filename or description....

I am just the painter, and what would a painter be without his canvass and paint!! Yes I do portraits of Josh in the nude, here is one I prepared earlier:

You mean they have finnally dropped? Or do they suck them out of you and then pop back up when they are done?

Yeah it got my hopes up because I still to this day have not been able to find any footage, drift or not, of another stagea on a track. Aaaaaages ago I remember seeing a vid with a crazy 260RS in it at the drags in JP somewhere, it was crazy, launched and it spun through nearly every gear down the track, but I'll be stuffed if I can find it again It was a collection of cars at the same drag strip, and one was this crazy HUGE black landcruiser that sounded like it was a 747, it didn some crzy launches too.

Or joshs sexy ass's haircuts? Or is he going the good old, "Sack, Crack and Back" wax?

Added 3 or 4 more, Hugh you were in there like 4 times So at least you know your in now

The people have spoken, Josh is a gay mofo emo! How many emo's does it take to paint a wall? Depends on what veins they cut

Sorry to say, but this is a repost, Andy first spotted this one and posted in in my "Ska's Pictures" thread. Still hell yeah!

Well here is a quick maths lesson.... Emo + idiocy + Lazyness = Humour This is shown in this example, titled "Why not to leave your Emo son alone." Here is our subject: First thing your emo son will do is make a coffee. Unfortunatly they will almost automatically start writing really bad poetry on napkins about drinking bleach when the autofroth outlet will spray out boiling milk all over their napkin, causing them to lash out and break the coffee machine by trying to recite the last poem that was destroyed on the napkin, it's all about the dangers of dating your sister. After that, they will go make a nice cup of orange juice, but why peel when you have a juicer. Unfortunatly most juicers were never designed to be used by emo's and so the emo will most surely break it somehow, meaning that the safety switch will be so overwhelmed that it will shut the whole thing down, rendering it useless. So to clean up the Emo will throw the coffe machine ad the juicer, whole mind you, into the dishwasher. After setting it to scrub clean, the emo will then wonder why he never thought of sticking his head into it and turning it on, oh hang on a sec that is right, that only works for gas stoves, too bad the emo is too stupid to figure this out and might try this at this stage. But wait, when he does go to try, it is not working. So knowing absolutly nothing about dishwashers and all the completities involved with troubleshooting and repair, the emo will try to apply his own brand of "troubleshooting" and use the knife he usually uses to cut himself, as a screw driver and sets forth to "fix" the broken down thingermagigger. After totally destroying the dishwasher, he will look around at the complete mess he has made. And then retire to his clean room, clean for emo standards. But enroute pass two butt ugly african things and wonder which one he will make love to tonight. And as always he will never take the rubbish out to the bin, not unless it had some bleach he could drink in it. But who really gives a shit, this little emo boy is a wallstreet power charger and they call him, "The Seller" in the real estate business, he'll just call up "Cleaner Hoes" and get them to clean it up for him!

Yes well I had to have a fiddle didnt I Well after 4hours of unscrewing and removing bits and pieces I found out why my ATESA isnt working right, one of the wires had worn through and was shorting out on the body, so whacked a bit of electrical tape around it and zippy tied it away from where it had worn through. Anyway, I followed the line through and near the release mechanisim on the seat itself there is a white bit of plastic which sits around the cable and then slots into the unlocking mechanisim, one side of it had broken off, the plastic was a bit detiriorated, so I whacked a bit of superglue on it and let it dry, hey presto, works like a charm Then it only took about 2hours to get it all back in, What an adventure

Already done, there is a parts list, the link is in the sticky mega link thread

Spotted silver R33 S2 on Lakes Creek rd, I waved, but again, he was prolly wondering why a volvo was waving to him

Nice, well done Leshy! Too bad I have neither of them, the 260RS centre console is different again from those two.

Old school Skyline: The Rally Spec Tarago, first trying to get out: Then being pulled out by RECOVERY2

Well my passengers side lever went this morning, went to drop the rear seat, didnt yank on it or anything, and snap....... So what is the part number, for the passengers side one, I'm guessing the drivers side and passengers side will have different part numbers?

So who can read that, babelfish doesnt want to translate it

swat bbs http://6709.teacup.com/swat/bbs

let me guess, http://6709.teacup.com/swat/bbs

And the address to it would be..............?

Yeah duh, just remembered we have a japanese section here on SAu http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2383745 And hugh, dont worry I still love ya!

Well after using babelfish to translate about a billion jp websites I am at a loss to where I can contact these guys! Or are they all seperate little SWAT teams in their respective precints?
