well my faithful clutch finally started slipping... :(

after 2 years of 300rwkw and 5 years of 180rwkw, hundreds of launches and thousands of kicks, the mystery box that came over on the boat will finally get opened...

hopefully i will get it sorted before DECA :down:

It had the GTR nismo number on the clutch plate, bit better than the run of the mill rb25 item they supply in the normal rb25 kits.

I havent read this whole thread, to much for me whilst i am at work, but i can announce that Caltex will be making E85 to fuel Holdens new Commonwhore and we aim to have 100 servos selling it in the next 12 months.

!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!!

Possibly a silly question for me to ask, but I have no idea...something tells me the answer is no...

Can you tune a rotary to run E85? I don't know how much advanced timing you could add lol..

Thanks, back on topic! I will definitely join the bandwagon when this goes ahead, should be getting better money by then to afford real mods too :P

any ideas where caltex will be getting their e85 from?

i.e. is it manildra or csr?

i have a full tune for both fuels sitting here anyway... but the difference is enough that you cant go swapping all over the place

my guess is that its gonna be manildra as i'm fairly sure that united have an exclusive deal on the CSR stuff, which suits me to a tee as the manildra seems to be better anyway :P

also might add, the the new clutch went in @ 23:30 Thursday and was on the track @ DECA on Saturday... (got 500k's driving on it to bed it... inc 100km stop start traffic)

went for an exedy "HHHDBC... and am very happy with it...

its very livable on the street, with a nice pedal feel for the power its made for and launching/shifting is a dream

it was my first track day with e85 and it was an absolute blast!

the car was SUPER responsive and you can really feel the difference over PULP :P

:D totally getting on this!

who do you work for ido09s?

    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
    • Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
