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

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
