YEs ^^^

Funny story, back in the 70's my old man had a XW falcon ute with a 302 in it (bought it brand new in 1969)

all his mates went and bought datsun utes etc due to rising fuel costs, they were stoked at getting 16mpg...my old man laughed because his 4.9L V8 was getting 22mpg around town lugging a shit load of tools around the place

  • 1 month later...
  • 3 weeks later...

Its just that the the lowest I can get my auto down is 10.5L/100km & that is making a 430km trip doing about 110 - 120km/h (mostly) the whole way. & then I read people claiming that they get ~8L/100km doing mostly freeways (I assume it would be manual).

In the city mixed driving I can never get it below 12L/100km (always hover around 13.5L/100km)...

& now with mainly bumper to bumper traffic it shoots up to 16.5L/100km.

Car has the usual bolt ons (exhuast, intake, bleed valve to 10PSI) & a basic tune with SAFC 2.

I got a app on my phone where I enter details when I fill up like how much/mileage etc so it calcutes all sorts of averages by its self which is neat.

Anyway after about a year of owning a RB25DE R32 it says I get 11.19L/100k.

But dang I find the engine quite hungy once I drive a bit more heavy footed, especially when in a rush.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
