Putting a cost per tank is silly

Kind of assumes that everyone pays the same amount for any type of petrol at any service station at any given time in history.

I don't know how many km's per tank I get, because I never run it down that low since my pump doesn't sit right at the bottom ;)
So I fill up at about 300km and its approx 42-45L depending on how much of a pussy I've been that week...

u serious 130 a tank?

LOL!! Can't wait for the majesta then, although it is only a 4l v8 over the 5.7

if tis auto your gonna cry. i cant imagine mine being auto... it would smash the fuel. at least i can up change at 1500 if i need to.

yeah ALL new crowns are auto's

Although it is a 5 speed so I'm hoping it will be a little better lol

fingers crossed mate......... unfortunatly mine has mafless tune for 98... and i dont have the balls to try 95...

so im stuck for ever with huge fuel bills.

haha that's why, once you go a mafless tune you fuel economy goes out the roof :P
I know mine will be getting than the soarers etc than run the old 1uz cause it's a vvti and 5 speed, and I've heard some of them get 10l per 100km on freeway

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
