i rarely fill up the whole tank. just put 30-50 bux in evrytime i go anywhere and usually use it all up.

stop whinging, you drive an r34 gtr you can afford 1.80/L for petrol :stupid:

Maybe people used up all their life savings just to buy a GTR, so no money for petrol :D

But anyway, will fuel prices EVER come back down again? like EVER?

Better go & ask George W Bush & see if he will stop attacking Iraq & Iran...

I still remeber when I 1st came to AU & the cheapest fuel I saw once was something like 50c/L with my dad filling up his old Subaru 1800 wagon with leaded fuel which was about 10c more...

good times. good times... :stupid:

i dont drive it much but i put 40 everyweek so if i dont drive for a week i feel better when i fill up next week as i think im getting more. denial is good sometimes.

its all those darn speculators that jack the prices up. ooww i heard barry might buy 3 pairs of brown socks at dimmeys, better play safe and jack up the oil price in case he does. even the oil producers cant put a price on their oil.

and the few extra kw's would be nice.

i'm pretty sure you LOSE power when you go to gas

incorrect. I don't see GWB flexing any US muscle on Nigeria? I don't see GWB telling the speculators to jump on the oil bandwagon. I don't see OPEC hugely increasing oil production (relative to some demands from US/EU, etc).

GWB is a tool, no doubt, but Iraq and Iran have had little impact on what we're seeing now.

you will notice a difference, albeit slight, if you DON'T run your fuel down. You get more bang for buck (more fuel, less fumes, i know, sounds silly) on the refil if you fill from halfway.

I did some testing, filling from halfway i can get about ~20km more out of tank, compared to filling from empty. Nominal, but still an improvement nonetheless.

So you're best off getting to halfway then filling up.

Obviously tyre pressures and driving style are going to help further still, and all that jazz

G2DILA: Pump tyres to 38-40psi. (Buy a $5 pen tyre pressure tester to check this regularly).

Try and fill from halfway if possible. Regular oil changes with something around the 0w30, 0w40, 5w30 with a group 4 or higher Synth oil. (Filter as well)

As people have said, fill on Tuesdays, wednesday mornings. There are also some arguments for filling up early morning, late evening as again, there are less fumes (less servo traffic, less fuel being moved about), petrol has settled.

If you have an aftermarket comptuer, get someone like Ben @ Racepace to check everything, make sure it's not running silly rich. Check spark plugs as well, maybe even upgrade coil packs.

If you don't have an aftermarket computer, still not a bad idea to throw the car on a dyno to check to see how the ratios are going

But i suppose mostly it comes down to the right foot, choosing gears, etc..

take PT if possible :P I've switched to PT for my weekday shifts at work

    • lol the 2nd one boss, thank you for pointing this out. I feel as i spend more time here this intro message is some thing i will always make me laugh and shake my head at. Perfect Intro:  I have the vehicle  
    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
