I tried to fill up at Caltex in Footscray but only got 16L in before it cut out. I put another 4 and it cut out again GRRRRRR. Thinking about going back to 98

A dodgy servo pump is enough to push you back onto 98? You had better not go to Springvale then. :)

I heard CSR had over 1 million litres stockpiled less than a year ago, I doubt they went through it that quick. Caltex would have a contract to supply Eflex so I doubt they will let it run out, surely they will just order it from overseas if Australian suppliers run out.

Did you know.... The first production car the Ford Model T 1908 was flex fuel compatible ? It could run just as good on ethanol as did on gasoline. There was a brass knob on the right side of the stee

Mick, I don't see the point of pushing every last kw out of an engine in a daily driver. I mean each to their own and all that - bit different for track cars. A tune will forever be a compromise betwe

what would you get to a full tank? on my GTT with a Nistune (same thing, remap) i could get low 300's, like 320km around town with a tank of E85, and that's real E85 as well (southland) i suspect E-flex would have yielded a slightly better result with more petrol content.

my GTR isn't a good comparo at the moment as we need to replace the O2 sensor, but no reason with a remap you couldn't get 300km to a tank for an rb25

actually, which engine?

quick question,

is the Bosch 044 external pumps ok to use with e85?

experiance anyone?

Yeah Im using one with it at the moment and so far no moment. Bosch don't recomend using them with ethanol since they haven't tested it with them but heaps of people run them and don't have any problems.

Good news everyone!! "dr farnsworth voice"

The V8 SUPERCARS teams left a whole lot of barrels of E85 at Yas Island circuit, my boss works there and he snapped them up for a good price!

Bring on e85 tuning again! hahahaa its been more then 2 years since ive played with the stuff, good to know the old thread is still churning away! might come in handy!

Does the fuel go off in barrels quickly? the race was in January.

No issues with fuel going off at all and mine was stored a lot longer than that :)

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
