yeah he is where i got the idea from :blink:

the Blitz 555's are $690, will i need an aftermarket fuel rail for them or new regulator?

Don't be WEAK!!!!

Go for a set of 800's so you can tune it for E85 as its now available in SA and soon to be rolled out everywhere. :)

haha Joel loves his E85. my worry is the availability, if im running close to empty, and there aren't any e85 servos around?

Don't tune for it just yet.. But at least you know you will have the head room in the injectors when your ready to. :D

A set of sard twin spray 800cc's pull up fine and return stock economy. Don't buy single squirter's they are crap under 2k.

You need around 35% more injector with E85. So for ~300rwkw you will need ~700cc injectors with E85.

Depends on the dyno but 550's generally hit 80% at around 300-310rwkw. + the E85 as you can crank some timing in to it and it just won't ping will make another 30rwkw odd.

Just sucks 34 injectors are so expensive in that size. ;)

Mate, Nismo gear goes straight in without any different plugs, fuel rails n all that bullshit...

Cubes, whats the go with E85 eating at your fuel pumps, lines, injectors? Im curious!

im now officially an unemployed bum ;)

but i must say working for the gov was the best job i ever done

best day working there was handing out free suncream to people at the big day out giving me a free ticket into bdo and getting paid my normal accounts wage while there :D boo ya

Yeah i read that too Ryan, apparently even the fuel tank should be changed the stainless steel, and you have to remove all rubber, foam etc from the fuel setup.

bah its load of crap. :D

Ethanol actually cleans. Not quite as good as water injection but damn close.

Unless you leave it in your tank for 1+month only then does it begin to absorb water.

Unless you have an aluminium fuel tank you don't have to worry. ;)

Bosch fuel pumps are designed with ethanol in mind.

The 'only' issue E85 has is with 'old' fuel line.

I've replaced my fuel hose from the tank to front with suitable hose from pirtek cost me a total of $40. These cars are 10+ years old now its worth while replacing fuel hose regardless of fuel especially when base fuel pressure (36-40psi) + boost (20psi) = up to 60psi of pressure running through 10+year old often surface cracked fuel hose = disaster waiting to happen.

Dino fuels leave deposits, so when you change to Bio fuel it will clean out the system. Its a food idea to replace your fuel filters regularly for the first few thousand k's (ie at 2K and again at 5k)

As for fuel lines, if you still have the original rubber ones replace them (they are overdue anyway), and if you have replaced them in the last 2 years you should be fine. Its the same argument for E85 as Bio-Diesel, much of it is scare tactics, other bits are common sense.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • 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!
