Better go check that oil-gauge again Mike (and Keith) its kg/cm2   ;-)



>Jap import to New Zealand.



Its funny, the Japanese market cars only have 180 on the speedo, my NZ car

has 220. I somehow doubt mine actually goes any faster than yours...

Probably a legal thing...

I've squeezed about 41 litres into my '90 once or twice, I think Keith is

right, the owners manual say 40, plus a five litre reserve...

Btw, here in NZ , what you Americans called a 2X4, was called a 4X2...

wierd huh?



But now we've metrified its called a 100x50, and although its not quite as

big as the name suggests, its quite a bit bigger than the Canadian 89x38,

or whatever he said, ours is like 92x45 or so...



Fletch.



P.S.  Do Canadians and Europeans have the 180k or 220k speedo?
