was using 91Oct so reckon could have gotten it lower

race car on the back?

if so that is farken impressive

evil they all pull soccer mums... but they are all pretentious high maintenance bitches

My twin turbo 4.0L 350z gets 18L/100k

It doesn't have a tow bar and I cane the crap out of it, it doesn't even know if there is a hill just powers along in 6th.

Pointless comparison but kinda suits the way this thread goes from time to time.....

where are the soccer mum pics wtf!!

Dan, ive had a few beers with Harry, it was XXXX, beer was ok, but Harry is good to have a beer with.

only issue there was Druncan wouldnt buy us shouts cause he was saving for rebuild # 43

No no! It was only meant to be new turbos at that stage... Poor drunk man... Although, Drunkman is good to have a beer with too!

That's amazing economy for a vehicle that is also "fun" to drive!

Very impressed I am.

Truthfully though, with all due respect, and I mean this is the nicest possible way...... Patrols drive terribly, they really do. There's only so much a brother can do with a live front axle.

:mellow:

bah, man up. IFS Is For Shopping... Live axles are for getting you places.

so you get the ocassional shimmy on bumps mid-corner... and some times get the patrol wobbles at ~90kph. That's no problem, just don't do 90kph! :thumbsup:

great tow car... but farken uncomfortable with now leg room

Would not call the g6turbo a value for money option as its 60k odd new but compared to the q7 its a bargin.

ahh i though they were 10k for a 3 day old one?

Mine drives fine, I like driving it than my 2008 D40 I had, feels heaps more solid. And goes around corners pritty dam well, been testing it put the past 10month driving over the bells line of road every week.

There's drivers and than there wheel holders...... Man up buddy

haha, I must be a wheel holder. :thumbsup:

I don't understand why people take criticism of their chosen vehicle so personally, maybe you should "man up buddy". :rolleyes:

I've had my fair share of "man's" vehicles,.... one was a lifted 'Cruiser ute on 33" muds and twin lockers, it drove like shit. It actually drove a bit more shit that the bog-stock 1998 GU wagon I owned briefly. Yes, they're completely drivable. No, they are not a paragon of refinement or driving joy.

If I were to be towing a large trailer over the Canning Stock Route, or off-raoding and needed maximum wheel articulation, I'd likely chose a Patrol.

That does not, however, make them "the" default choice for those who want for a good daily driver that can also tow their race car interstate comfortably time to time.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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).
