Ok, got some 750cc injectors on the way for my E85/BP98 50/50 mix...

I have two choices of E85 over here in WA... Either Powerplus for $650 or CSR for $550

My question is which one? Is the Powerplus really worth the premium?

I got the same prices for these 2 this week Simon, im probably going to go for the CSR as the tuner im using suggested to get it from rpw and as far as i know thats where he gets it from.

whos tuning yours?

Sean from Allstar... I assume that you're getting yours done at Hyperdrive?!?

I paid $150 for a drum of CSR. :ermm:

Thanks Birds.

So when's caltex releasing this shit do we have a date? I can't find any specific dates

I was told, "The end of the month" by 2 servos I rang but Caltex thought they were already operating. I guess we will find out next week...

Nope sean aswell.

just got my 1450cc injectors delivered, so a quick run over the pits, strip the pit crap off and then all thats left is for sean to work magic on my 26/t04z/e85/26psi.

will let ya know how i go.

I see your 1450cc and raise you ID2000s :)

NOTE: My Rochester 1000s are for sale if anyone is interested. $500 Delivered FIRM.

Well, the Caltex pumps seem to be up and running, they wouldn't tell me the price over the phone, can anyone near the Clayton road servo call past and check the price?

I will try and call in for a fill and let you know how it runs, and if the wideband likes it. :)

yeah i saw a scrolling thing on Sky news yday morning saying holden has relased their flex-fuel cars - surprise surprise nothing on the holden website, but it seems to be official so assumed the Caltex stations were up and running.

definitely let us know how you go :)

i do have something to ask the people of this thread, something that a potential buyer of my car has asked.

He wanted to know that if the car was on the E85 map, and for whatever reason you couldn't change it (laptop died, USB consult cable not working, etc) would you be able to drive it on 98 etc?

I thought it might be ok if you took it VERY easy as there would be a lot more fuel yeah? but also more timing? i thought maybe with the extra fuel in the tune it MIGHT make it safe to drive very sedately despite the extra timing.

thoughts?

It would run like crap with black smoke billowing from the exhaust, much like all the other skylines I see. :)

Thats why I like the Emanage Ultimate's dip switches for changing maps. A switch would be perfect.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
