I've been keeping track of my fuel consumption on my iPhone...

Because of work I'm also making lots of short trips of about 10 min / 2 to 9Km every hour or so... ...I think I got around 600Km on a GOR cruise once and around the same going up to Swan Hill... ...But that was before I started recording my fuel...

i used to get approx 450km (30km of that after fuel light on) max. fairly stock auto. haven't had a chance to check economy recently as i've had it tuned, and still in the "honeymoon" phase :D

I don't think I've ever seen the fuel light... ...How low does the needle get before it comes on???...

For my car, it came on when the needle is like about 1/2cm or so under the E line.

& I only know this because when I picked up my car from the panel shop, they pretty much drained all the fuel out & I was driving on empty :( .

Thanx JamesK,

i got an autoban just down the road from me, ill pop in there on the weekend and see wat they can do for me about an o2 sensor,

hopfully that might get some more ks, if not, it cant hurt getting a new one :)

Forget autobarn, save some $$$ and time and order from HERE $77 and quick delivery.

I've never been brave enough to let it get that low... :(

Dont you mean stupid enough, efi fuel pumps dont like running dry.

Replaced the oxygen sensor tonight. Got her up on the hoist and laughed at why I even bothered putting it up there when the sensor was clearly visible from the engine bay. Then I ate my words when a seemingly 2 minute job turned into 2 hours. The positioning of the sensor is so damn awkward. Near impossible to get a grip on the sensor nut with a torque-worthy tool. My open ended spanner kept slipping...shifter couldn't get a grip...socket wouldn't fit over sensor. Didn't want to thread the sensor nut so I resorted to snipping the sensor wires in order to get an angled ring spanner over the nut (forcing me to get the new sensor installed or being unable to drive home). Still had no room to get any decent leverage though. Had to remove the heat shields from turbo and exhaust - the screws of which were rusted through and threaded themselves when I tried to remove them. Drilled some of them out and vowed not to put the shields back on afterwards. I was quite literally bracing myself against the car chassis while trying to unhinge that rusted piece of crap sensor. After every swear word in 4 or 5 languages she finally cracked. Putting in the new one took the other half of the 2 minutes I had originally intended to spend on this.

/end rant.

Here's hoping my fuel economy improves because my anger management sure isn't.

Oops should of posted up earlier I have an O2 Sensor socket if anyone nearby wants to borrow it...it does make your job a crap load easier as birds may have found out that damn thing is in tight!

My sky is on average on about 11.4L which i was happy with UNTILL my car broke down and started driving my brothers spare care, 1.8L Corolla. Geezzz, fill 40 L, done 550kms and i still got one line to empty. I cant belive the difference. You save about 7 dollars per 100kms. woow

In saying that, the car has no balls nor handling nor looks nor anything else. lol just a lil engine.

ive never seen a fuel light come on ever..

didnt know there was one

There is guys, trust me I was in the same boat as you guys but it only comes on when your needle is ON E like basically the light is REFUEL NOW!...haha but in the manual it says there is 7 or so lts left in the tank and even when your start to get at that level it will still start to fade on and off until I think about 5lt

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
