I have found it to cost about the same as 98 once the lower price is taken into account. Caltex sell their E-Flex for 20c less than unleaded. Cheapest power upgrade I have done as I already had the supporting mods.

A Walbro pump and seimens deka injectors (for the neo motors) wont set you back more than $600 but you will need some way tuning it.

The ethanol will strip clean the fuel system so you would need to change the filter after the first few tanks. Ive been running it for 8 months now with no issues with the stock fuel system.

what are you using to account for the variations in ethanol %?

i was reading it can fluctuate anywhere from 50% to 85% hence there being e-flex and e85

Thanks Brendan, but I'm north and it's not worth going all that way just to run the tank empty by the time I get home :P

According to the Caltex web site Salisbury Park and St Marys stock eflex too, but I guess its a practical thing - whats the point in running eflex if it's that hard to get?

I have two Caltex servos conveniently close to me... is it that hard to put an eflex pump in?

I'm guessing Liberty have their own fuel supplies, and it seems they don't have 100 octane, highest is 98.

They told me late June/July they should be replenished. Fingers crossed!

  • 1 month later...

my dad works @ birkenhead Mobil and said libery 98 used to be mobil 8000 and now shell won the contract to supply 98 ron fuel to liberty

and to everyone surprise guess what shell and mobil share the same holding tanks its the same fuel, he said when shell take theirs out they add additives for Vpower

EDIT

sorry its united

Hi all,

I am at athelstone, SA.

Any info on when/if they will be re-selling E10 100 octane?

Surprised at the advice that they can't get the ethanol, as Liberty are still selling the 94 octane E10 unleaded.

Cheers,

Adrian

E10 100oct is now back in stock at United servo pooraka. Been waiting a couple months for it. I'm running it in our M35 and now I can use high boost setting in my 180sx now that it's back.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
