I test every batch of fuel and United is always between E85 and E90. I did get an E93 once but these changes seem minor to the tune. If I used Caltex it would run a bit richer.

how do you test?

i've only ever seen E80 - E83 with my GM Ethanol content sensor.... never seen United E85 higher (did see E84 briefly once but settled after 30secs or so at E83)

Eflex for me when i used it was always bang on E70 - i made 15rwkw more on E85.

Making use of the United servo up the road from my place. Paying $1.14L which isn't bad.

Back on the road again after a head gasket change and new gearbox. Engine feels stronger off boost so I think comp is slightly up a bit after the new gasket went in.

Went for a cruise on friday night with some of the boys and felt great :)

Back on the dyno in a couple of weeks to test out the new gasket with more boost, see where this turbo runs out of puff.

Woo hoo! Cant wait....

Wow I've been beltng through this build in the last 2-3 days like a book you just can't put down. This story has it all, highs, lows, external gates :P

Seriously man what an awesome car you've built, hats off to you. Hands down the most insane GTST I have ever seen, I love it. For god's sake just make sure that now you just concentrate on getting your money's worth out of it by having fun driving it! ;)

Thanks Nick! Driving it is always fun. Definitely need to do more of it :yes:

Maybe you can take me for a run without breaking it this time :P AND maybe ill try do the same lolz

Oh no. What did they do you for? :( I hope they didn't smmash you too badly, but with that huge mofo hanging off the hotside of the engine..... hmm haha

This is why they shouldn't be driven on long weekends. They're everywhere.

The problem is I'm 100% sure Dave wasn't doing anything stupid or hooning if you will

The fact it's an import is the only reason

The amount of smoke billowing bald tyre no brake light cars out there on the road that don't get stopped is frankly dangerous

Dave next eastern creek track day you should come an unleash the beast

I told him my car would produce less emissions than his patrol car :) Thing is most coppers have no idea what they are looking at, so they just issue you with a DECC notice.

Could have been 100 times worse though. I got off fairly lightly considering he flat out laughed at me when I popped the bonnet lol

an older head will serve you better dave. There are times I just dont drive the chair for this very reason.

Mind you putting around in my tweed hat raises their eyebrows a bit. I have had them do a ubolt to hunt me down then just shake their head and drive off when they see the old foge in the tweed cap driving.

The walking stick is my second line of defence, if the cap doesnt swing it the cane usually does.

Growing old isnt all shit and shrapnel.

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
