i find your attitude towards ethanol surprising roy... for someone that loves to tinker as much as you do and tries to run his motor on the ragged edge, i would have thought that if there was an obviously better fuel choice, you would have been all over it

i didn't find it was too bad with the GT-T - on the cruise, so freeway driving etc, my consumption only varied by about 10% to 98, and about 25% for urban duties. If you do lots of freeway km's, it's quite a cheap (and powerful) fuel.

it is like how he is obsessed with rb20s for some reason, makes no sense.

LOL, i have the injectors that will give my fuel system enough head room. My problem is the amount of kms my car does as a street car makes it pretty hard to go E85. So the only real option is flexi fuel and cant justify the spend on electronics. So when I start doing more street kms in the Sierra the R32 may find its way on to E85 as it wont be doing so many work kms to Geelong, Yarrawonga etc etc

So until then I will just sit back and hang shit on people who are fortunate enough or dedicated enough to be running corn feed :thumbsup:

LOL, its all a bit of fun but its hard to justify replacing a $600 engine that has done 60,000kms and still makes ~260rwkws. If I can get an eflex setup going it would be able to catch up a little in the power game as anything under 300 these days is cannon fodder. But seems the eflex arrangement is about 3k. :( I am close to having an eflex setup for free which if it works will be ACE :)

What's the price comparison between 98ULP and E85? have never seen it for sale up here in brisvegas

i pay about 100-110c a litre here in SA. haven't noticed a huge increase in consumption on the track, even with a bigger turbo and 50% more power.

That's pretty good considering I just filled up on BP98 @ $1.61/L

    • Jump into the wasteland. Plenty of random posting/chatting going on in there.
    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one
