Most intelligent post on this thread.

If you can't afford fuel, maybe you should re think the car you purchased!!

i used to consistently get about 380 out of my tank and if anyone has seen me drive then thats pretty good consumption for me. I reckon i would pull about 430 or so with driving nicely, but then why did i buy a sklyine in the first place

erik i think if you get your plug gaps right and your afm cleaned and everything else cleaned and adjusted correctly etc like a good service and tune and clean up etc. then because you car will be running like a dream you wont have to have your foot so close to the floor all the time to get the same performance out of it (sometimes its easier to make it more efficient than more powerful)

oh yeah also i dont know what mods you have but make sure you take all that into consideration when you think about how much fuel the car uses and also take into account what mods other people have when listening to their consumption and thinking your car is crap on fuel

thats what happens to alot of people when they dont consider all the factors.

some people live far away from work (STRICH9) and would possibly see better consumption. others live close and choose to leave late everyday and then flog the pants off the car without realising because the only concern is "get to work on time" and then when the fuel is almost gone at 300kms its like "WHAT THE FCUK HAPPENED TO THE FUEL"

so yeah i cant remember where i was going with this so I will stop now.

its only 12:37... i am definately ageing

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
