I get 10kays per Litre too :(

Generally around locally I get 470kays to a tank ... full up at 50litres. So its pretty close to 10litres per 100kays.. :)

On the open road it doesn't improve that much, I get around an extra 100kays to a tank.. Well not as much as my VS 5ltr Manual commodore. The commodore used to get 350-400kays around local then on the open road it used to clock around 650kays to a tank.

They say a day at the track equates to 10,000kms. Anyone else heard this?

Geez, how many fncken laps are you doing? and how fast are you going to do it one day?

Thats:

1,000 10k laps

2,000 5k laps

5,000 2k laps

etc

and:

416.6km/h for 24hours

833.3km/h for 12hours

etc

wow, you guys must be running some serious horses!

bloody hell, most of you guys seem optimistic, only Roy and Kabab have realistic reasing (>150k). I mean, a lot of you have cars with only 5,000klm per year age, supposedly.

edit, I should add, my 97 r33 has 85,000klm.

shaun - did u say yurs had 32k on it?  thats hella nice and low, and you doubled that in a year?  lol talk about twice daily driver.

yeah, i live 50km's from where i work so i do 500km's during the week just driving to work plus probably 200extra km's each weekend. its had its fair share of highway kilometers and thrash km's.

when i got it, being on a 2L i expected 10km/L, i average about 8km/L for every tank, worse when i have a weekend with motorsport in it :(

regarding legit km's.. there are cars out there that are legit and you can tell by the overall condition of the car.. and of course you also get the woundback ones with screwed interiors and the like. Not every car racks up high km's, especially in japan.

Yeah is the same deal here. Ride the 250 for 2 years and then you can upgrade to a bigger bike. It is a good idea tho it saves ppl killing them selve on a big bike. To put it in to perspective as a car. The R1 has 150hp at the rear wheel and weight 179 kilos. for a car to have the same power to weight ratio it would have to have over 700hp at the wheers and would only be able to weight 1000kilos.

Yeah the CBR250RR would have to be the pick of the 250's out there at the moment. They dont compare to an R1 at all. On a nice little tight road they are great, handle like a dream. I would spend you 2 years on the 250 and the upgrade to a 600 something like the R6 for at least a year and then if you can really ride the wheels off the R6 then go for something like the R1. Just remember you have your whole life to get the bike you want. Learnt to ride the smaller ones 1st and then you will enjoy a bigger bike more because you wont be scared of it.

Goodluck with finding a bike.

feel free to ask any more questions.

Maybe email me tho as we got a bit off topic hehehehe

Cheers:burnout:

mine is about to tick over to 105 000 all running smooth, and kays seem to be legit, becuase i asked the mechanic about what sort of condition the belt was in when i got it changed and he said 'yeh it looks like 100 000 kays had be done on it, no need to worry about the kays being wound back,'

i am getting around 8 ks to a litre too...

man, im only getting like around 7kms per L, but thats taking into account that i normally always leave a quarter or so in the tank each refill.

yeh - i love the r6 -- looks like thats' the path i'm gonna take.

r6/r1 one day, but for now i'll go get my bike license this holidays.

woOt~! :P

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
