Snowy 3.0iTD
G'day All
No I am not thinking of entering it in a drag race, but trying to figure out if the engine is down on power at all. Fuel consumption just recently has risen, and it feels like it may be down on power a bit, but I could just be imagining it. So I figure the simplest way is to put the foot flat to the floor on a flat section of highway. Which leads me to my question, has anyone done a 0-100km/h
test on their 3.0 Patrol and what was the time?
Mine is a auto which will work in its favour but 33in tyres that will work against it, please don't reply if you are just going to bag the 3.0 Patrol.
Thanks in advance

Snowy it is approx 16.4 secs 0-100kmh for your auto.
Not for reasons so much of speeding , but I would reccomend to everyone to do such basic tests as a means of knowing how their car is going.
But be warned , its amazing how many snorkels filters and oversize tyres actually slow cars down.
Its also better to do it when car is in good order though so that you can get relative performance measure.
Also doing 0-100kmh is not best option as there are already many varibles in this type of test and some need to be removed to make results meaning full.
A more accurate test is to do it on a known piece of road and stick to one gear.
If you can use a GPS set to record each 1 second then you can get real
results , indepenant of your speedo/tyres and plot them out (Ozi-explorer can be used to do this to)
I regularly use a known piece of road with gentle uphill gradient and start of in 3rd gear from about 1000 rpm and take it out to 5000 rpm.
