I have. It is made of brick and is commonly termed a garage :P

It is definitely possible to get over 700kms before the light comes on whilst cruising at 100-120kph.

It has been done a number of times and with a favourable road/breeze, 800kms when the light comes on is possible (rare though)

I have a garage to. just my dad and sister seem to beat me to it.

i dont think ill ever get more than 400Ks out of mine. maybe when i lean it out. doubt it though

I generally get about 400km out of mine also, but on my way to the snow I did 659km from 70.8L of fuel, ie 10.7L/100km.. I think we've got an 80L tank, so theoretically could've squeezed more out but the light was well and truely on at that point. What fuel consumption does your Informeter give you?

I get between 450-550 city and I have got 800 out of one tank kept it at 100-110kph but.. At 120-130kph its about 650..

Installed the new head unit and sub into the cargo storage.. Much better sound now.. Whilst doing that realized the muppets that drilled the holes for the child restraints didnt silicone it properly now I have leaks in the rear area.. So anoying..

to be honest havent set up the fuel consumption on it. the car sayse something stupid like 6.7/100km which i would like if it were true lol

Unless you've had the english conversion done, the readout is actually in Km/L, not Litres per Hundred Kays, so yours is probably about right.

are you talking about after markets or just new globes? i'm currently using 8000k's although I prefer 10,000k.

as long as you have your lights angled down it shouldn't be a problem!...I drive at night mainly and I never get flashed or pulled over.

Be careful when choosing the Kelvin rating of your new lights - as outlined here, Kelvin rating has little to do with the actual light output. Kelvin is a measure of colour TEMPERATURE, so basically how "warm" or "cool" the produced light is, not how bright.

that would mean i should get 537kms out of the tank though. I need to lean it out i think.

couldnt agree more. i remember having an argument with someone at Autobarn trying to sell me these. I had to dumb it down so much by saying lets refer Kalvin as Kandles(candles) having 8000kandles is going to be warmer that 6000kandles. still didnt believe me. i showed him it in the book. why do they hire these people

You would if you drove it dry mate.

You should get another 120kms for so once the fuel light comes on (maybe more), but I remember you saying that you only run it down to the 1/4 tank mark?

Bought 3rd set of new fronts seats

have to decide which ones to put in

Evo 8 Recaro's

Brand new bright red Millinium Recaros's

Black Drift R34 GTR copies.

Collecting new engine parts for forged Rb26 swap

Brand new R32 GTR engine wiring harness, Nismo conrods, ACL multi layer head gasket, ARP head bolts, Genuine gasket kit, s/hand spitfires, stock ecu for Nistune. N1 oil pump (might change to Nitto)

next pistons, bearings, maybe new crank, and head parts like valve guides, springs etc and a pair of -5's = 400rwkw and hopefully a high 11 sec :D .

What youve said confused the shit out of me mate :P Heres how I understand it.. how far off base am I? :D

Kelvin is a measure of heat - think of it as degrees celcius if it helps. Now, when you heat up a piece of metal, it first goes red hot - if you can keep heating it then it starts going yellow, heat it even more then white hot.

Candles is a measure of how BRIGHT something appears, in a darkened room, you light 1 candle - and you'll illuminate the room to a certain extent. Light a 2nd candle, and the amount of illumination increases.

So, the rating of 8000kelvin for a set of headlights is the equivilent to how HOT it is getting which determines the colour (5000, yellow hot, 8000 white hot)

A rating of 1000 Candles for a light is a comparison to how many candles would need to be light the same amount of area.

SO, you can have 5000kelvin 1000 Candle and youd have a yellow light.. or you can have 8000kelvin 1000 candle and itd be quite a white light. Both would illuminate the same amount.

yeh thats a better way of putting it! but this guy is stupid and cant weld. he is an old friend who i think should never have been given a car. the only way he'd understand is if i burnt him with a candle lol

Yeh your right. i only run it to 1/4 at max. but that when i only get about 250 to 280. 300 hundred is about half way through that last quarter

i bought another M35

Iaiaaaiaiaiain, I bet its got awsome economy.

Ohhh i forgot to mention something.

Bought me an eManage Ultimate today with a universal harness for $676.00 Aud directly from Japan with free shipping.

oh.. its BRAND SPANKING NEW :D

Funny noises coming from the front of my car, so I think some coil overs might be needed (either that or some ball joints/bushes are STUFFED) :rolleyes:

Sounds like a piece of gravel is in one of the shocks rubbing up and down as I go over bumps and corners.

Anyone got some coil overs they want to sell :D

I think i'm on my way to around 500K's to 70L (14L/100K)!!!

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
