And I'm not joking about Melb being sunny because it's absolutely glorious weather here! So we decided to take a trip and while doing so I wanted to see how far I can stretch on a full tank of juice. Having consistently achieving about 500-550kms in city driving, I was very curious of how much better economy on the freeway. Well the car travelled to Albury, about 600kms and it drank 65 litres so on a full tank based on being 80L i think, I could have achieved about 740kms. Which is pretty darn good.

So how does everyone do on the freeway?

Oh I forgot to mention that not everything have been smooth sailing. Firsty I got pelted with gravel and hence scored 2 cracks on the windscreen, but the worst one was my right front plastic overfender flew off somewhere between Goulburn and Gundagai so if anyone happens to drive through and see it, say hello to it!

Yep, Ian is right again.

Jetwreck lost one on his way to Phillip Island. They are not cheap either.

Last time I did the drive of Canberra to Sydney I think it worked out at 9.8km / Litre.

They can be alright on the open road if you don't get into them too hard.

We got to Melb on Thursday. I checked the events section but no meets which is ashame.

oh damn. go to the Victoria section. then events.

was a big kebab cruise last night. about 25-30 cars at the meet point.

but the worst one was my right front plastic overfender flew off somewhere between Goulburn and Gundagai so if anyone happens to drive through and see it, say hello to it!

that's the second one in that part of the road.....$370 from memory!!!!!

You forgot the Nissan dealer moto, "prepare to get bent over"

Dare I ask why they keep falling off?! Are they bolted or screwed in or just those little plastic fastners that seem to hold most of the car together? lol

my tripcomputer thingmee says I'mgoing to get 440km's around town or something, does seem thirsty!

I'm confused by the whole km's per litre thing so i'm doing my own recording on an iphone app and I'll be able to work out the exact mileage I'm getting so I can see if there's something wrong (o2 sensor or anything)

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
