I'll do mine the day E85 is readdily available on the North side, that is the only thing holding me back. it is still (for now) a daily.

Hopefully they will bring it closer some day... When mine is running i use it as a daily more than i really should

My wife will kill me if I swap to fuel I have to drive 80k's for no matter how much fun it would be to have extra HP to play with. I will need injectors too and probably a surge tank and lift pump.

I would like E85 too but replacing the fuel system seems a bit of a pain in the ass at the moment.

I get away with only an in tank pump at the moment

If you are doing Crank trigger you might as well do it if only to prepare for the inevitable itch to pump moar power into it.

One step at a time! Install Link, then crank trigger, then Flex sensor and fuel system. But between crank trigger and flex sensor comes new daily.

I forsee lots of expenditure in your future...and lots of smiling when you start the GTR

Pretty much! I took it for a careful drive on the weekend actually, it sucks not being able to give it the boot!

Its a Walbro 460 E85 one.

Just read through your build thread, your old tuner was doing you a major disservice. With the same turbo also on 98 I made 260rwkw at 14 psi and 328 or somthing like that at 20psi on Richards dyno. Glad you made the switch!

i was actually quite depressed with the original figures from Mercury when it only made 260rwkw's after turbo upgrade. I thought it was really underpowered and thought it might be cause i kept it low mounted and internally gated that i lost a bit of HP.

Similar thing with my old Tuner, Richard has some Magic fingers when it comes to tuning and he is straight up with everything too which is a major selling point in a Mech / Tuner for me.

I was the same, stock exhaust mani and internally gated turbo

He is good!

Do you use Richard as well Andy? Top little workshop he has there i reckon. Two hoists and a dyno. there was 7 cars including mine there today. Its only him and a young fella who are working there too.

His knowledge is great, specially when it comes to explaining things as I know a decent amount bt am no car wizard. Think the young bloke there owns a cressida with some quality stance. Seen it there every time i go

I used him before Dan and Sean came along. Now Dan is gone I will use him should I need a mechanic again.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
