I filled up my brothers 3rd car this morning. His first car is a GTiR which is a piece of shit, thrashed and dirty, second car is a 1995 Magna with a buggered engine that we recently sold, third car is a 1998 Camry that my PARENTS bought for him to 'ruin' as well. I am driving the Camry coz my car is at Hyperdrive for the weekend.

Paid $1.27 per litre for Unleaded ;)

after speaking to a few people at a few Caltex's i have found out they are getting their 98 octane through Mobil (same as peak) as caltex and mobil are owned by the same parent corporation so their fuel isn't a true 98 octane as it contains toulene to boost it to that level and it deteriorates over time so ya fill ya car up with 98 octane by the end of the tank its down to 95 /96 octane

Woohoo!

I just filled up today 68 litres 632KM's and a nice Japanese lady on the nav system said I need to fill up. The needle wasn't on empty but the fuel light was on. I figured at that rate and with a 76 litre tank I could have gone to 706 k's before running dry.

Beats the crap out of my 4WD.

Want to run through a few tanks before doing any mods and check the consumption at each stage.

when i got the car i was getting about 280-300km per tank although the right foot was abit heavy. got powerfc tuned a few weeks back and with same sort of driving as when got the car getting about 450km per tank so im happy. the powerfc will pay for itself one day:).

does everyone tend to fill up when fuel light comes on or really drain it right down most of the time?

When the red light comes on the nice Japanese girl hiding in my dash says what must be "time to fill up sir, please look for a petrol station that sells BP Ultimate", could probably go another 50kms or more before running out but might not be able to get 98 RON.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
