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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
