Vortex burns like crazy, thats why it pings.. Bigger boom more heat.

:no:

Seriously, fuel prices are f**ked. These oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia are taking everyone for a ride :P .

Australia has something like the 2nd or 3rd cheapest fuel in the world when compared in relation to the value of the dollar and average weekly earnings, with other countries.

How would you like to live in the UK and pay more in POUNDS STERLING for a litre of fuel than we pay here in dollars?

(p.s- as a side note: at current prices, it's costing around 16c/Kilometre to drive the work car around the Sydney metro area. but that's with a fair bit of A/C usage)

Motormouth can tell you where cheap fuel is, but they don't do all servos...

In the Northern Beaches/North Shore area the cheapest is at Caltex/Woolworths at Beacon Hill for $1.479/L (for Vortex 95 anyways) and they do sell 98 there.

The servo I go to in Belrose always has the same price as Beacon Hill, but I'm guessing that would still be a massive detour for yourself lol

Where the hell did you get petrol for 90c 6 months ago? unless it was right after the ACCC investigation... other than that; it hasn't been under $1 in at least 2 years now.

iono... I'll hit up the shell as I leave work, see if they have any... then from there I don't think I pass any others...

Doof, if that shell dont have any, ask them to ring the next local shell,saves you driving around.

Make them do the searching for you.

I stopped in 3 Shell station from Liverpool to North Ryde to get V-Power or V-Power racing and all were out... Does anyone know when there will be some petrol. I just got my license back today and had to use Vortex 98... I'd prefer to use V-Power as thats all ive ever used in my car up until today.

So yea, any1 heard anything as to when V-Power will be back?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂

      Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
