double demeirits, who cares, I drove 3000km in NSW in the last week and didnt see one cop...

sorry I lie, I got breathtested by one on xmas eve in some bushwhacker town in bumf**k Idaho...

Aside from that every speed camera has a 3 huge signs telling you its there so if you do get busted you really deserve it..

move to Vic then start complaining..

btw congrats on the great fuel economy :thumbsup:

Double points is so frustrating, I end up doing 522km to a tank in suburban driving (57L, 10.9L/100km). How am I supposed to complain about poor fuel consumption when I can't even hit boost for fear of losing my licence?

:P

u sure it wasnt 422km? 522 imo is bs for city/suburban driving..

sorry for hijacking the thread - but if it is true you get that much in city driving, what have u done to your car?

yeah it's a myth in QLD (one the cops aren't exactly going out of their way to dispell the myth though). only time you get double points in QLD is if you are booked for the same sort of offence twice within (i think) a 12 month period

no BS, and no freeway driving. I was amazed, as ~450km was my previous best.

My best on the freeway is 9.3L/100km, sitting on the speed limit.

Car just has a JJR bellmouth dump, fujitsubo exhaust (very quiet, full size centre muffler but flows well) and a 3" high flow catco metal cat. oh an r34 SMIC. Running 10psi boost.

depends on what sort of city driving it was. if it was cruising on motorways, etc, and there wasn't much start/stop traffic then you will get decent economy. that is the thing with 'city' driving. everyone has a different interpretation of what it is. in a lot of cases what people class as city driving is probably more accurately defined as a mix of both city and highway driving. if you are cruising through the middle of the city on a bypass doing 80kmh or more then that is more highway driving than city driving. it is just a highway through the city.

pfft to 500km+ per tank in an RB Nissan :) Best I've been able to do thus far closed-loop is 14L/100km (2630+).

Of course, the PFC is fairly venerable tech these days and I'm fairly sure I've never managed to avoid the dreaded right foot at least once per trip.

Still, beggars can't be choosers. It might be dragged from my Cold, Dead Hands but you can never be sure...

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
