Just looking at converting to E85 is all thought I'd ask a few questions on the conversion

It's definitely worth making the switch. Too many easy gains from it not to and it's becoming more and more readily available

Gee where to start, Needless to say the last week has been pretty full on.

After many a delay I finally got the car back on Friday. After noticing the car was on the dyno at 10:30am on Friday I expected to get a call around 12:30pm-1pm stating that its done. It came to 3:30pm and I hadn't heard anything so I gave them a call. Apparently the car ran out of fuel on the dyno during tuning and they had to go get some more (I dropped it off with a full tank). I let them know it takes me 2 hours to get there so if they know when it will be ready i can start heading there earlier so they arent hanging around waiting for me all arfternoon. Finally got a call back at 5:30pm stating that its nearly finished and to head down.

They advised on the phone that it made 630rwhp on 29psi, however the head was lifting and they wanted to "dial it back" a bit to make it safe for powerplay.

Arrived there at about 7pm and got chatting about the car. Even though the car has ARP head studs it was still lifting. I thought "righto at that pressure I guess it needs looking at". Then came the "Dialed Back" numbers. They ended up bringing it all the way back to 451rwhp on 15psi. I still and even now am surprised they had to drop it back so much to make it run safely. Due to the time of night and a bit of disbelief on my behalf I didnt go into depth about the lifting issue etc.

By the time we got the car loaded onto my mates tow truck and got it back home & back into the shed it was 11pm. After finishing off other setup jobs for powerplay the next day I got to bed at 12:30am.

NOTE : I DO have dyno sheets for both the 630 runs and the 451 runs. I will scan and upload them hopefully tonight.

    • Yeah that's true, but idk. Only a 6 month lifespan seems a little short. Oh also, is there a preferred way to send images? Like any sites? I'm used to just being able to upload them lol
    • Hey, like MBS206 mentioned; I dropped off my short block and rotating assembly Monday. With a quick verification, he believes he can clear it up with just a hone and new rings but he will confirm once the rotating assembly is out. If I were you, I would either go stroker or just replace the block if it does need to be bored over to next size. Block is cheaper then forged pistons. 
    • live in the UK, and London has introduced a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that requires individuals to pay £13 if their car doesn’t meet the required emissions standards.   The standard specifies that NOx emissions must be less than 0.08 g/km (i.e., the vehicle must meet Euro 4 standards or better, which generally results in NOx levels of around 0.08 grams per kilometer).   I reached out to Nissan UK, and they advised me to contact Nissan Japan directly. Does anyone have contact details for Nissan Japan or any certifications of conformity that show the emission details or NOx levels for the RB25DET engine?   Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    • these guys recommended to me and supplied custom 4 inch mufflers, couldn't be happier. They will spec a muffler to your preferred level of sound and know RB's well.  https://spmufflers.com.au/
    • Yeah this used to happen to me every year and a quick call would at least raise the agreed value back up / reduce the premium, but usually both.    That said for the first time on the renewal this year our agreed values went up or stayed the same over the fleet and the premium came down so that was a nice surprise.
