All the United servos in SA have E10 100oct. While I was there today I noticed they have now dropped boost 98 e10 and replaced it with e85!!! Going to fill the jerry cans tonight to run the 180SX on it, hello 300 + rwkw :) and all on 18psi with a gt2871r!

Series? They only just got the 100 octane E10 back. Now they're getting E85?! YEAH!

Dale, no issues running the 100 octane E10. Car seems to run a bit better on it actually!

The dry spell for 100e10 was due to the floods in qld months ago, csr didn't have enough sugar cane for ethanol.

There's nothing in it between 98 e10 and 100e10 as last time I had my 180 on the dyno it wouldn't take any more timing and power stayed the same at 270rwkw.

it was a mix of city & highway,the mods i have are high flow turbo(stockish) high flow cat hdi inter-cooler and a k&n high flow panel air filter.ill be doing the same trip this weekend and ill try some 98 and see what i get this time around.

What mods have you done out of curiosity?

That's pretty good economy. Was it mainly highway driving or a bit of 'peak hour' thrown in there?

i get 350kms on 98 if im lucky.. neo rb25, gtr-s, nistune(untuned, but have afew different tuned maps) cooler, pod, exhaust, stock boost and with my mrs driving..

I'm in the same boat as you, I get in the 300-350km range a tank. GT35, nistune, exhaust, injectors, etc, etc. On the highway it's ok, I get to the 500 mark.

Doesn't bother me at all, my weekly average k's are about 60-70km. Some times it's 3 weeks between servo visits.

Jealous :action-smiley-069:

sounds like you have a few issues there

you'd smell a fuel leak

prob a boost leak

then get a touch up tune and make sure they re-activate the o2 sensor

Woops, I meant to say boost leak.

Jealous :action-smiley-069:

lol. it helps when work is 5km away and a shopping complex just down the road. i don't have to travel far to get where i'm going. it kinda makes the high fuel consumption not hurt the pocket as much. if i had to travel some of the distances you guys do i'd probably be on here complaining about it lol. but then, you don't buy a performance import for good fuel economy.

my stags on bp ulitmate, with a pod, exhaust, intercooler and nistune and i get 650km to a tank. i usually get 300km to half a tank on a hills run, then 350km driving normal

wow funny how your getting some 150 more then most RSV most are around 500 averge per tank ,

most of the autos are 400 too 450 if alls sweet,

if i have a run in hills i do half a tank to 150ks,

many say normal driving ,if your in Perth normal driving is next set of lights to get to speed limit pinch.gif ,

i hope to have a play with nistune & hope i may get 500 per tanks ,

Thats not normal driving :whistling:

PLEASE STATE IF C34,

AS VOLVO DRIVERS KEEP POSTING THERES :rolleyes:

very easy to tell look in 'Cars' section under picture of the writer, left side of screen <<< will tell you what they own haha probs get shot for this next bit but aren't all m35's auto therefore making all m35 drivers too lazy to change gears so probs to lazy to have a look that way <<< as well. Joking everybody!!! Only wrote this cause someone had to stick up for us C34 drivers :nyaanyaa:

aren't all m35's auto

Nope! Just the ones we can import :P They didnt produce a VQ25DET AWD Manual version of the M35 either, which makes the conversion process trickier. Some of the guys are looking in to it though :)

PLEASE STATE IF C34,

AS VOLVO DRIVERS KEEP POSTING THERES :rolleyes:

HAhahahhaha.. I've never understood the C34 VS M35 family fight. They are both Nissans FFS!

BOTH look like Volvos. One looks like an old volvo and one looks like a new one. :cheers:

Why can't we just get along??? :3some:

I can understand C34 owners getting upset when M35 owners rub the C34 noses in our glorious 5 speed auto box, more leg room, less cabin noise, better weight distribution, newer technology, better handling, better interior, better ride, more room in the back, better stock power and better fuel economy....... :devil:

so just better in general?? :P

thats what happens when a car is 5 year newer. it has newer technology. for its time, the C34 is a fantastic car.

its like the whole R23/33/34 S13/14/15 arguments!!

Stagea cruise I was averaging about 11.7L/100km which I was happy about.

Back at work the last week & city driving, it went up to about 12.4L/100km. I drive on the Kings Highway to work through Queanbeyan, nice hills on that road as well as some stupid native fauna.

Engine & turbo are stock. Mods are HKS pod filter with heat shield, ARC FMIC, running 10 psi low boost. High is set to 14 psi but I never flick the switch over much now, unless I am stuck behing some annoying slow driver on the way to/from work & I need to overtake.

    • With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.
    • Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath 
    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
