no you don't

Absolutely do, I recon id get even down to 8.5-9 on a highway. Its tuned quite lean at cruise, as far as it can without being dangerous. Down side i can only use 98+ octane fuel. But even if i drive hard in traffic i get about 11-12 :-)

Alot of WOT and the fuel goes down as the speedo goes up lol

is your car stock std?

other than a complete std r33 with a tuneable ECU could you get 11-12 driving it hard in traffic..., unless your not driving it hard at all...

$1500 trade in value... wtf..?

thats pretty darn crap... strip it for parts

Did you turn O2 feedback off and lean it out at cruise? If you did that I could believe it, but with stock O2 feedback unless it is entirely highway kms with basically no boost Im sceptical.

I reckon lots of parts could be sold to make alot more than $1500

it all depends how much you owe on it...

you dont want to end up being in debt for more than the asset you have on hand is worth, thats just silly...

No, i am being unfair in not mentioning im running map haltech e11v2 and im running a t04z so I dont get good boost till 3k and solid boost untill 4800 revs so its easy to not use alot :-)

A lot of my driving is main roads/highways but lots of hills... even in citys i still get under 12

I don't enjoy my $90 a week fuel bill. 15/16litres per 100km

yep, they are f**ked, having come from a magna wagon which does 11.9-12.3 in city, it was a rude shock..bit better with exhaust/cooler etc now..going to get it road tuned with nistune for sure...

cheers

darren

Hmmmm maybe you should have bought a second hand engine like everyone said last year.

BTW i got 515km out of my 33 without the light coming on :) Best i have done so far. Did a few off the clock runs as well (private property of course)

how would that affect my fuel usage?

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
