That's pretty good economy Andy, just the Nismo?

114kmh is radar friendly?

Even in a 110kph zone, it's around a $140 fine below the Murray... take off the 3 points for possible error, still leaves you at 111 in a 110 zone... Yay Vic road rules, stopping all the dangerous driving!

In NSW it is...oops Andy beat me to it.

When I drove the Stag home from Sydney I noticed everyone was flying past me even though I was doing about 115 according to the speedo...I think they get 10% allowance where as our retarded VicRoads gives us 2kph...

NSW has:

under 10 km/h = 1 point

10 - 20 kmkm/h = 3 points

20 - 30 Km/h = 4 points

so im pretty sure the 10% is out the window now, dont know when they changed from 0-15km/h and 15-30km/h but they obviously want to make more money!!!

Went from Dee Why to Penrith and back car was fully loaded, Before leaving I stopped at the petrol station and filled up the tank and calibrated the tyres. I did 135 Kms combined, on the way home I was so impressed with the fuel level that I stopped at the same petrol station same pump and filled up again. When filling up I let the pump stop twice as I always do and it took 12.9 L

Result around 10L/100km combined.not bad...

Total from the day I bought our M35 to today (about 6 months) and I'm getting 11.15L/100km. This is probably 90% city driving with some hills driving and country km's too (I figure the hills runs would cancel out the country kms). Pretty happy with that. I couldn't get my Evo under 13L/100km and from memory my C34 used to do around 12.5L/100km combined city/hills/country.

ok well just been driving the m35 stagea (K&N Air Filter only mod) and got 504km before light came on and it says 56km until empty. Thats driving to work and bback mostly with hills and 12 sets of lights. Works out to be an average of 14.28lts/100km. Not too bad considering there was some spirited driving at times.

I've been getting pretty regular 13.5l/100ks from the RS4S.

It's got a cooler, exhaust, YJs, iridium plugs, a PFC, runs 12PSi (mostly) and is in need of a tune. It's returning pretty solid results of around 13.5/100 which is pretty much 100% city/suburban driving.

It sees a fair bit of welly action regularly, too.

I'm fairly happy with that.

I've been getting around 12.4 lately, city/country combo.

Recently on my way over to Melbourne got nothing lower than 12 on the way over in the rain, but on the way back averaged out to 10.1 using the cruise control.

It seems the guys with an a/market exhaust are getting better results with the engine breathing better.

I still seem to be the anomaly here.

Driving to Canberra and back the lowest tank for me was 8L/100km.

Maybe it's because I don't usually use the aircon?

After how many ks? That's insane!

110km/hr down long hill, lift off, reset trip computer, <500m take picture. Just for laughs on here.

I was too slow to get a pic when it said 4.x

Yep abnormal for these cars. Did someone do a TDI conversion when you weren't looking?

Aircon off makes a big difference, but not 2-3L/100km I would say. Nice effort - I don't have the willpower I'm afraid.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
