Yup.

2 cars.

R33 - $801

Laser - $691

Both due next month.

Bye bye tax refund. (well a nice chunk of it)

I see fuel is already on the rise, preparing for the offset to be phased out. F#@$R@RFAA$#^TWQ$#Q%#@%Q#@^Y#$WE

Well I filled up this arvo... 133.9 for ultimate. Last fill on the same day last week at the same servo I payed 126.9. Not happy Jan!

But on the plus side, for the first time I got better than 10L/100km!!! 441km and took 44L :P (9.98L/100km, still under 10 though!!)

Just a shame it still cost me more to fill than it did last week with worse economy.

Yeah. my gf works for a major brand of servo and she said that with this weeks price jump the 8-10c's will be added. Its more than 8c's due to gst so knowing fuel company's they will add 10c's. Im just glad i can walk to work.

Thinking back 12 months though fuel was about 1.70 - 1.80+ a liter. Were still better off than then.

Yeah as of the 1st July expiry date, V8's go to just under $1000 for 12 months...

It sucks, but there is little we an do... :(

true dat, the BP in dalby has had ultimate at 122.5 for about 3 weeks straight now

You live in Dalby???

I'll be there Thursday morning... Tis a nice drive out there (the back way)... :P

I drive past a Shell and a BP every day to and from work and there's usually no difference in their prices. (Give or take a cent or so)

I couldn't believe the amount of people that were queued up on Tuesday arvo at the servo around the corner from me just to save themselves about $5! They must have had to wait 30 minutes + just to get it.

I like how my rego is still counted as a 1.3L car.

Saw lines of cars at the servos filling up trying to beat the rise, the $5 or so that they'll save will end up being spent on a newspaper and coke or something else inside the servo.

I like how my rego is still counted as a 1.3L car.

Well I guess I dont feel too bad with a 6 litre...

You'd be spewing if you had like a 3.5L Rover V8...

Hardly a V8 but still 8 spark plugs and $970 rego...

How much is six cylinder rego ?

Change from $800...

Think it was like $790 ish...

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
