"Your" 98 is shipped in the same unflushed container as kero, diesel, 91 octane etc...... we'd rather not take the risk of a bad batch. I've seen it too many times before.

But do tell if there's been a major change in the garunteed quality of the fuel?!?!

Yes please do ask.... would be good to have a definative answer :P

Like I say, just spoke to Vandenberg again, he said they're not running over to the mainland for 98 fuel this time, but suggested we bring our own to run in the 35.... don't wanna risk one of thiose engines :D

Looking forward to seeing the car in the flesh Ben, I'll be SOS on the chicane on stages SS2,7,8 and 13. Hopefully i'll be able to have a video camera running so i can see the performace of it accelerating out of the chicanes.

Sweet :dry: I'll give you a wave on the way past :/

ahh looks good, the stickers always make the race car.

no idea how you found spare money from ACL though considering their last 12 months!

Kel and Tony's 35, and the 32 are on the boat to Burnie on Thursday arriving Friday

Just a little something my mate at the Advocate whipped up to support the Boys racing next weekend.

the car looks awesome russ!

over the next couple of months i'm going to take some random samples of tassie pump bp 98 and have them tested by the company we have contracted for next years events do get some hard data of local 98.

Spoke to a manager down at the wharf the other day, he told me that the fuel comes in different tanks. They (the fuel companies) won't risk cross contamination, they have pretty stringent quality control procedures. So hopefully it's as good a quality as any where else in the country :(

hey thanks Stuart, i will proably be meeting you soon.

i really want to do the Wrestpoint Targa, & will have an entry in very soon. sounds like a top event.

also atleast we know we can get fuel over there!

cheers guys

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
