Hi Guys

I was talking to the software developer about the timing for the finished product this week (not confirmed yet, but latest should be September) and he mentioned that he is able show the fuel consumption in either km's/litre or litre's/100km's.

From what I see the norm is to talk about L/100km's. He is able to convert the fuel economy (or lack of it) screen to read this way.

I would think this is a great upgrade in the english conversion but I just need to know if anyone would not be happy with this change in showing the fuel usage?

Let me know your thoughts?

Cheers

Andy

I don't mind in L/100KM as that's the convention used here in Australia.

In asian countries like Japan where the car come from, consumption is often measured in km/l to show how much km you get from each ltr you put in the tank... the mindset there is the bigger the number on screen, the better it is.

Just going to bump this up because it is of interest to many...

Will there be any progress on the Sat Nav map side, as per the M35 info thread? If I understand it correctly, they can potentially do something for the DVD version but not the older CD version?

I theory, yes it can be done but there will be quite a few obsticles to be overcome before it would be available.

The english conversion of all the non GPS screens is due September and depending on the response to this first release the GPS conversion may be worked on as well.

It all comes down to the comercial decision of the time and effort v's the return in sales.

I am speaking on behalf of the guys in Russia who are doing the converting and this is what they have indicated so far.

Cheers

Andy

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
