I put in $40 last week on wednesday, and i have gotten 320kms out of the tank and i have just under a 1/4 of it left, giving it a thrashing maybe 5times odd a day...

Pretty good, considering i only put unleaded in too... Then again im NA

However i used to only get 220-230kms MAX out of a tank when running premium, until i changed my o2 sensor.

I found Shell Optimax gives better economy then BP Ultimate does. I'm happily using that now, it's right next to where i work so it's convenient too.

are you serious i am the opposite i cant stand opticrapz was crap in the pulsar and crap in the skyline... my cars just dont seem to like the stuff.

I didn't notice any difference. It used to make the exhaust smell but it doesn't anymore. I've heard people say that BP Ultimate and Optimax often comes from the same refinery and they just put in different additives. Either way, i'm not having any problems with it

i found that both cars got around about 20 - 40 kms less with similar driving with both ultimate and opticrapz. Also it may just be in my head by the skyline also doesnt feel as though it has as much power with opticrapz could just be me and probably is but meh i go with what makes me and the car happy :(

i just filled up after doing 430k's and got 50l's in it..  

so should i still have 10l's left in the tank?  

seems like i got a few k's outta 50l's when iv had a few drags and given it a bit the last few days

yea thats pretty good i generally get about 410 - 430 off of 48 - 53 litres and i am happy with that. also yes that does mean you have another 10L's left. I can drive around with the orange light on for a good 50 - 60kms and still only be at 55 - 58L

Orange light? Why dont I have an orange light?

lol either

1 - you are not running it low enough how many L's do you normally put in stevie.

2 - your fuel level gauge may be broken. I am not sure exactly which light it is on the cluster but its one of the ones on the left hand side. just go look during the day and you will know which one should light up

Should be near the "E" of the gauge, just out of the sweep of the needle

Well i've run it down pretty low! I bet the warning light has just blown or something pathetic like that. I want a warning light!

I usually put in about 50. And thats when the gauge is reading very empty. I know its a 60L tank so maybe my gauge is reading it empty ten litres to early??? I dont know...

i'm only getting 360km out of a 60L tank.

Term, I've found out that my Stagea goes through the petrol with short trips and city driving. But on the highway it's fine.

I think it's cause of the auto box and short trips when cold (cold = rich).

I wonder if you could put gas on one of these.. lol

    • 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!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
