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

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

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...

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
