See at least when i was going like 200-300 ks a day when i first got mine (once again... not going anywhere in particular) petrol was around 93c for Optimax etc :action-smiley-069: so it wasnt too bad

Damn that must have been in the days!.. Not so cheap anymore :P

Personally dont mind paying up to $1.00/L for petrol, but anything more is just getting to be a rip off.

Thanks guys :D

I'm already feeling the money thing. Gotta fill up again (50litres in 3 days :O) but i had to drive around to show my mates + uni etc. :) Its worth it anyway! Plus i bought the pod filter and some new speakers for it. Turbo timer next i think.

I keep trying to make eye contact with other skyline drivers to give a thumbs up etc. but no success yet :) I'm sure if it was one of you guys you'd return it!

Going from a lancer to a 32gtst makes it feel like a ferrari!!!

Makes me want a GTR even more. I took a girl for a drive today and she described it as faster than a roller coaster :yes:

powerade still costs more than petrol..

no its not... i bought a 24 slab of it the other day $9... theyre 310m cans... which means that it works out at 37ish cents which means per litre its around $1 and seeing as petrol is 1.28, its more economical to bike to work each day and drink powerade to refresh and replace your electrolites then drive.

think about it

Hey mate,

Congrats on the car, I got my first car (R32 GTS) about a year ago now, probably the best decision i have ever made, take care of it and you can't go wrong ;)....however I'm a tad jealous of your turbo ha ha, i got mine NA cauz i was worried about the new turbo laws coming out, turns out i could have got one anyway but ahh well.....32-GTR is only a year away lol :sorcerer:

If your thinking about tinkering with your stereo check out my DIY thread on installing a sub and amp,

Have fun mate,

Best regards,

Sean

never seen powerade in a can.....

Dont know where you get your powerade..

Powerade/gatorade is usually like $1.50-$2.50 for 600-700ml (whatever size the bottle is)....

don't know where you get your petrol....

read in a wheels magazine, that petrol is at its cheapest ever when compared to several years ago.

The price of water, electricity, food etc has increased by a much larger percentage than petrol and is more expensive.

Article in December 2006 Wheels magazine :wave:

Congrats on your purchase?

Any pics yet?

What uni do you go to?

      Hi everyone.

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      thanks, will conduct myself accordingly. i unfortunately put about 150 miles on the car before reading this thread again, however no PS issues, and definitely no turbo issues. it spools normally and still feels fast to me, probably because my previous car was an N/A auto sedan...gonna go fix the PS vacuum line though lol. safe to say, got what i came to this thread for. thanks

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf

      You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
