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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
