It wont be that easy :thumbsup:

what makes you say that?

as long as you have fuel setup sorted and you have appropriate boost control there shouldnt b too much dramas

ppl say you get 15-20% increase in power from e85

so a 330kw GTR should crack 375kw on e85... theoritically atleast

What makes Paul say that is no doubt that he makes 400kw, and knows that theory can be a long way from reality.

By all means try your theory, go get some ID2000's, a large fuel pump or two 044's, whatever EBC you like, -9's and see how you go at 24psi. Let us know how you go

Generally it seems to only be around 20-30rwkw though in terms of gains. I think 350-360rwkw would be more realistic.

What would be more interesting though... How much earlier would they come on?

Given everyone seems to gain a few hundred RPM response. Getting -9s on even sooner would really be quite something.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

Yeh I'm gonna.. as soon as caltex get some elfex around my area

Would b interesting with -9s

ID1000s won't b enough?

I suppose it depends on who tunes it.

Im running ID 2000's (2225cc) and at 400rwkw im using a Duty cycle of about 63% IIRC (AFR's are about 11.6:1 Petrol corrected according to my wideband (Roughly .80 Lambda)). If you calculate that back thats just on 1400 CC worth of injector. Thats on a 2.8 with GT RS's at 1.75 bar. Its a little low as my exhuast was choking it like a whore.

Whilst 200-300rpm might not sound like a lot, if its coming up in/out of throttle faster too... It would be awesome!

That's what you do notice. That half to full throttle instant response. Well I use 'instant' very loosly with GT RS's. It was alot better with E85! pinch.gif

What area are you in? Its at a few places now, so if the skyline isn't your daily driver you'll be fine.

You're talking a 2.6L right? Mine maxed 1000's at 403rwkw but its an rb30 - capacity makes a difference.

Yeah this is an interesting point.

My throttle response hasn't got any better or worse since before and after the E85 swap. I took the time to make sure it was how I wanted it while it was on pump though.

Edit; I dont mean turbo lag.

I see that stated a lot but can't understand why! Can you explain why would engine capacity makes a difference?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
