Long distant drive in a B18C

[Bludger]

Thanks heaps guys,

I just dont want to overkill the car, hopefully it reaches to NSW and back to QLD. I'll update on this page how I go, haha.

Definetly getting a Jerry can just incase I don't see a BP or something good lollol.

your car can run on 91ron fuel temporarily, no problem at all, no need for fuel can, it's unnecessary weight. If you're out of fuel, just fill $10 or $20 91ron.

Fill up 98 when you can.

Nothing will go wrong man, I've done countless interstate runs in shitboxes.

If you driving on the main roads you can still get 98ron or atleast 95

hey moiz, on my trip to sydney and back for all japan day recently I had no issues with temp or anything and I have the same motor and gearbox. it was also scorching hot the whole day.

only thing I can say is 4krpm with innovative/hasport mounts for hours straight is quite intense haha

just make sure your oil and everything is 100% topped up beforehand, I noticed the 4-5k rpm there and back used a bit of oil but that was it bro.

you going for tune?

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

funny how recaros arent really THAT comfortable as some people make it appear to be.
it is really comfortable when you sit on it for 1 minute. not for hours.

100deg c for oil is fine. on a hot day in Brisbane my oil will easily reach 95-100deg with normal driving. and as you mentioned driving at night will help as it will be cooler.

see this link, I know its talking about 911's but shows ideal oil temps. being 180-210 deg F (which is 82-99deg C) and oil life vs. temperature

Or take some octane booster on the trip

Thanks man! Haha I figured the mounts bit out, going to be intense haha.

Nah just there to visit some family/friends and jdmyard meet. And to pick up some parts woo! You should come up too man it'll be a nice get together once in ahwile.

Thanks Mark for the wisedom on oil temp

did an average of 7.2l/100km from my trip to goulburn for honda nats from melbourne. constant 3.8k ish rpm going at 110kmh

dc2r's have 50ltr tank, so technically i could've done about 700km per tank :S

[DCZ 18C]

^^^ is it 50L tank..... i thought 45..??

[eg5civic]

Lol

Ive done Brisbane to Sydney 3-4 times roundtrip and Brisbane to Melbourne round trip and didnt have a problem with my b16b eg. As said above, top up oil an water. Better yet do a minor service, new oil filter and you'll be sweet. I took spare water and oil and that's it. Never even had to worry about it though.

As for fuel, you won't need a jerry. It's only 1000kms, and pretty much every town has 98. I get 500kms from 32L on average lately and that's with vtec and abit of stop start driving. You'll be fine, you stress too much
