Well now your up and running you can be involved in the sneakiness

CLOSE to up and running ;) Ill sort the fuel issues and then we can FINALLY go for a run with both cars lol

looks great - it's basically a scaled-down, more "all-in-one" option of what Trent did with my car, and what Unigroup did with Piggaz's car - i'd definitely be going that road now, but it's about the same price as a new GM sensor, so there's not much point switching now for me, but for others, definitely makes the flex-fuel setup a bit more streamlined.

yer as soon as i heard they were designing i was sold.. :)

came out just on time for the end my build.. :banana:

Sort of.... I'm running the PS2000 and Zeitronix gear.... I haven't had a good result due to failed clutch, failed coilovers, failed piping etc.... So it's finally back together and booked on tomorrow... Will report how i go :)

Got my car finally tuned with E85 by Trent at Chequered Tuning. Did a really great job. Car is super responsive with 600 odd nm of torque (4k rpm) and 379rwkw. Looks like I've reached my limits with the N1's but I think I'm enjoying the insane down low - mid range power. It was mentioned that I could go a Vcam setup with some -5's but will enjoy the new fuel for a while :)

I'm trying to find a new spot for that sensor ATM. Big thing it is! argh!

Such a great setup though. Who cares what you put in, pull out of the servo and belt it :D

  • 4 weeks later...

word is end of November Caltex will actually switch to a summer blend of 85% ethanol (which they didn't last year) - first week of Dec i'll run a tank or two and let everyone know what % it is - when i was using Caltex before united was up and running again, they were very consistent between outlets, everyone bang on E70

Ahh ok.

I have an ethanol test kit actually but thought someone might've known off the top of their head but all good. Car's going into mechanics in a few weeks so i'll test the fuel then, as it'll be getting a retune for the fuel again after being off the road for a year :(

Apparently Caltex are cutting Eflex e85, that's the rumour I heard today... I would say United have cut the grass on all their sales with a cheaper, more consistent and sweeter smelling brew. Shame as I like competition.

I hope United's price doesn't go up...

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
