not a fan :(

hmmm why my name and sig? If your the one that wants the car to be able to drive

the person that ownes it is only selling it

dont know.. so they can send you an EPA letter? :P

scotty-

fkn kesha. shes sick

...

Sounds like my ticket into ATO licenced chemicals :blink:

Ive heard Isopropyl Alcohol is used to make drugs O_o

...

We use it for cleaning as it doesn't leave residue and evaporates quickly. It's also a skin disinfectant :sick:

oo i got a reply from Recochem

200Ltr drum of 100% denatured industrial ethanol = $437.25 + GST

Equates to about;

$6.60 per week (3Litrs/week)

$3.00 per week (3Litrs of dimineral water/week)

-------

$9.60 per week

Now is this worth the 30-40kw atw gain O_o

just wondering if you've accounted for the shelf life of ethanol, its reactivity to atmosphere (esp humidity from memory ethanol's eficiency decreases when left exposed to water vapour in air) and also expansion of such a large volume in your garage's ambient temperature.

no one thinks that far ahead, you learn from experience not from preventing it in the first place.

fair enough everyone likes different things. what music do you listen to?

i listen to everything, dance/trance house, rnb, retro, 80s

just not a fan of metal, classical or country

andre rieu

shits rad

hell yeh

yeah, i like justin bieber sometimes.. i have to be in the mood for it ya know

ummm just ghey

thats on a 60litre tank though

the evo only has like 47 i think and only about 40-42 is used when driving before the fuel light comes on

so works out cheaper if i do it :blink: haha

haha you would only need about 2ltrs of ethanol and 2ltrs of water for every tank of fuel.

You can also cheap out by using methylated spirits or methanol (which both are far cheaper than ethanol) and use tap water/rain water/britta filtered water

You will just need to check the nozzle from time to time to see if it hasnt built up with crap.

Good question, I know methanol absorbs moisture so its best to keep in an air tight container. I know methanol is fine being stored for long periods but havent researched into ethanol yet.

Contacted the chemical place for prices for methylated spirit and a 50/50 mix of water/meth

also pat....

$1500 = secondhand HKS2530 kit. Both Nick and I run it and get roughly 80kw boost in performance.

you just spent how much and get 30 - 40kw? and ongoing costs are how much?

yo question folks.....

how much power will an s15 make with basic bolt ons eg zorst, cooler, pod etc

cbf going on ns.com lol

Sif be happy with a few simple bolt-ons Chad :blink: Like Nick said, it's like 170rwkw tops.

Buy something pre-modified or with a forged rebuild. Save yourself money on all that shit.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
