Any updates?

Was going to ask you the same thing.

My engine has to come out of the car this weekend, few things going on thats put this project on hold for a little while. Once the new ecu goes in il be back to running E85

The race gas vs E85 issue is the reason I'm keen to back-to-back test 110RON Martini vs E85. I'm aiming to do this prior to the Xmas holiday period.

Sunoco costs me $10/litre...how keen do you think i am.

Do you have enough injector for it, Paul?

my new runners from Hypertune have injector bosses on both top and bottom.

two sets of 1000cc injectors should cover it.

6 lengths of garden hose will do the job too and far cheaper :(

Seen a few highpowered cars running E85 on Friday night. Smells sweet exiting the exhaust :P

Im keen to get my car tuned on it now.

Any updates Anthony?

Whats your economy like now?

I am in the middle of changing ecu's.. so i am back on 98. last tank i got 460km's so worked it out to be 13 litres per hundred with 98.. with e85 my best was about 420km's to a tank.

The servo just past the Meccano set near Landsvale is refusing to sell E85 to the public . They claim (counter jockeys) that the government won't let them do so and that the company (Manildra Group ?) is only selling to people with certification .

Any idea whats going on ?

A .

There is another servo (albeit the same company) a few minutes away that sells E85 (corner of Ferndell St and Rawson Rd, South Granville). I might swing by over the weekend and see what is the G-O with the E85.

Hi GT , there was an Asian lady and an Indian looking feller behind the counter and no power on earth was gonna get me the E85 pump keys .

I tried to explain to them that all I wanted was 4 liters but the answer was no no and no . They said that the last time I got my 4 liters was a mistake and it should not have been sold to me at all .

Just for the record I had ~ 40L of straight Shell 98 ULP and wanted to make it "E10" . I could not get through to them that 4 of 40 is 10% (yeah ok 4 of 44) and no I didn't want the usual low grade E10 mouthwash .

I left contact details but not confident I'll get a return call or message .

I think we need to find a way of accepting responsibility for what we buy otherwise the alconazis are going to make life difficult .

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
