highly unlikely country BPs will have 98

dont use octance booster, it does an awesome job of f**king spark plugs and o2 sensors real quick, probably not great for the fuel system either.

just use 91 and dont thrash it if your that worried, if everything is working properly with a standard ecu theres no way you'll make it knock just cruising along if you use 91.

Yeah not worried for when I get into Gero, I get free fuel once I'm there ;)

Thanks for everyones replies, I'll just take some octane booster for the trip, I'll try do some re search on octane booster and o2 sensors to see if they do mess them up.

Go buy a proper car, a BMW nyaanyaa.gif

E39 528i, 100kmh, 6.6L/100km AC + radio on., theoretical full tank economy of 1060km worship.gif

Martin, my old 32 (one over east) could get 650+km/tank sitting at 100 solid and that was fairly powerful... Something not right with your car....

Something not right with my car lol, give me a break I'm new to tuning! :P I get 600kms to a tank with my daily driving habits, that's better than most... I just haven't figured out the right mixtures for the higher load/RPM cells yet, if I go much leaner than it's set at now (around 14.7 - 13.8) then the car starts to surge. Also the transient throttle enrichment goes a bit off when I make it leaner, so for now I've left it where it is. I have a feeling Andy didn't set my injector latency up quite right when he tuned my car, so it messes with the target AFR's a bit. I don't want to adjust it though cos it will throw out my high load/RPM cells and I don't wanna tune them on the street confused.gif

1 bottle over 2 tanks of fuel is enough to completely f**k a brand new set of plugs, seen it happen several times. dont use it

This.

Octane booster is shit, stay away from it. Just run the 91 as Jonno said, it will be fine on the stock ECU as long as you're driving gently.

unless there's something seriously wrong with your car, you'll make it on one tank.

just feather the throttle slowly going up hills instead of flooring and you'll be fine.

I drove to geraldton in june (via coast rd).

If i can make it from duncraig > geraldton on one tank (60L) with a carb that hasnt been kitted from new, no injector cut off on decel/ o2 sensors etc then you should be fine or your car has problems.

I made several trips to Albany back & forth this year (around 430 km one way) & the best I can muster is around 10.5L/100km, then again I'm usually the one overtaking people which means foot down 100% while this is happening.

EDIT: I bring a 10L fuel can everytime I go, just in case.

I drove to Kalbarri recently and all the BP's i stopped at had 98.. i didn't have any troubles at all.

I'd recommend you stop at the caltex outside Dongara for a pie as well... they are awesome pies!

Cheers man this gives me a glimpse of hope, and yes I know, those pies are amazing!

I'm looking rather forward to free crays in gero tho ;)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
