I get 300km per tank... If I'm lucky. Usually it's 280km per tank :(

i think i get good economy now john lol.

the needle is on the e and i normally have done around 380-400km. i dont wait for light.

Also some good news, wife got rear ended in the skyline today. Tool in a ute apparantly "rolled" into her as she was stopped at the lights. Damage minimal. Scratches on rear bar and gouges from the number plate on it as well.

I think it has also pushed boot out of alingement. Biggest issue is that my wife hurt her back quite badly. she started getting sore when she got home. Can i get the guy who hit her to pay for medical costs? I have the fun job of ringing his boss tommorrow to work out what he is going to do about it.

Some people should never get a license.

oh and if any one is thinking about joining a gym to get fit .... dont. The pain after your first weight session should be illegal. i cant bend my arms!!!

i get my best on the moonie highway between a little out of dalby and 30km past westmar. Then it all gets messed up on the 37km of gravel ;)

When I drove from brisbane to mackay in the coon I had an average of 7l/100km. Without cruise control it sits at about 5l/100km/h and with cruise control it's about 6.5.

Around town is about 12/100 because it's auto and i drive in some traffic each day. I think the most I ever saw it was 890 to a tank.

I feel better now, lots of people getting much better economy then I am. It must be a problem with my AFR's and a dodgy pair of injectors/fuel pump. Oh well better get the injectors and pump replaced with better after market ones and get a new ECU and a full tune to sort it out.

*shifty eyes*

great, i've got a throat infection. Can't stop coughing. I'm not supposed to have anything cold either. Pain in the arse. Hopefully these antibiotics will clear it up somewhat fast.

have you tried turning it off and on again?

Have you checked that the power cord is plugged in?

Hello IT

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The button on the side is it glowing?

Yeah you've gotta turn it on.

Push the button!

My ifail has an app for invision boards so that's how I get on here. I just look really frustrated and they think I'm busy and send me a message on communicator instead of talking to me

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
