Food for thought:

Petrol = $1.45 @ 12.8L/100kms x 25000 = 4, 640 a year.

I heard a bloke on the radio last night has fitted his truck fleet with 1000 litre tanks so that his drivers can fill up with diesel in QLD (where it's 10-20c/L cheaper) and not have to fill up again until they reach Melb where once again it's cheaper than NSW.

Damn it must take like 15-20mins just to fill up those tanks at the servo ;)

$1.49 for Ultimate last night in miserable Canberra. The darkening cloud of Johnny Howard and the Consumer Watchdog idiots looms closer.

Meh,I really don't mind;unless I'm sinking the slipper hard into the loud pedal,the car does alright on fuel consumption...that,and I've got a cheap run-around Liberty with 449,000 km's(really!)to ease the pressure on the GTR! Besides,the 32 really only cops a hiding(and hands one out)at the track-street racing?Not for me...

thanks for the warning Terry. Actually just empty right now so will be trying to fill up tonight/tomorrow....thankfully i have those docket vouchers, save myself a few cents! even though i know we're not really saving by using those vouchers...

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
