Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I agree with you here. Give the motor a heap of KM's on pump98 then give it some e85 when run in has finished.

WHat ECU is it again ? Can it be flex tuned

Yeah thats the idea Scottie.

ECU is Haltech Platinum Pro so eflex is also on the cards ;)

Decisions..... For a decent 34 it's 15 and for a amloast destroyed 33gtr it's 14

This makes it hard because either way I will be fixing stuff and changing, and of it's rooted I can fix it so not to much there, and will have a new engine either way....

Hmm

Grant (Count Grantleyish) is selling his R34 GTT it is really nice - think 14k IRRC.

But he is in VIC and communication may be difficult as he can't hear but give it a try Zac.

Thought it was. Well yeah few hundred $$ for the sensor and you're all sweet. Though with E85 so close there's a fair chance it may never see pump98 again after the tune. But its good having that piece of mind that you "CAN" run 98 if you decide to

Don't forget $$$ for the retune also.

I'd be interested to see how a car tuned on E85 would run off boost at highway cruising speeds on 98. It'd be running rich, but i would presume not enough to cause it not to run?

exactly mate. If I want to. But will no doubt be very reluctant ever put 98 after considering its power potential :woot:

I drive mine from Caboolture to QR quite often. It runs perfect. chews through a bit of fuel but thats expected

If it was a E85 only tune run on 98 running rich would be the least of your worries, the timing advance on E85 is way beyond what an engine on 98 can handle and that's why the flex sensor is important

not that I want to rub it in, but yesterday I spotted another United that has E85 which is close to my home

I have to say that it will soon become more readily available near you too Bunts

Would there really be that much timing at low revs and low load though?

There's no United servos north of the Logan motorway and south of chermside. Not no servos selling E85, no servos at all. :(

Wow I totally misread what Peter was saying lol.

I wouldnt want to chance it. Considering i gained 100-110hp changing from 98 to e85 with only 2-3psi more, there is no chance I'd risk running any fuel my car wasnt tuned to fun. Hell I didnt even like putting anything but BP Ultimate in my car before i went e85..

In regards to servo locations. I guess Brendale is closest then. But it is slightly north-er than Chermy

From my understanding yes, thats why E85 cars often feel like a big capacity NA while cruising around, and while you are cruising it might be ok but the second you put any load on it, say a hill, you would be in the shit.

this is what I am currently doing. Will not put anything else in car except for BP Ultimate until it is tuned on E85.

Why take the risk if you don't have to?

ah, ok then. 20l range extenders it is!

next question: tuned on caltex e-whatever, run on united? Caltexs range is lacking out of the cities but there's a nice chain of uniteds around

If I were you Peter I'd stick to United. The consistency they have is well known amongst e85 users. They always have a well controlled Ethanol content. Caltex has been knows to drop as low as 70% ethanol, this is a major issue if you dont have a flex sensor.

Also its worth noting that the V8 Supercars this season have in fact ditched Sucrogen E85 in favour of United E85. The same we get from the bowser just "Controlled" tighter to make sure all teams are getting the exact same blend

Either way you decide to go, its always best to get it tuned on the exact same fuel your going to run. Why tune on Caltex if its going to run United?

and their goes another.............

Australia's manufacturing industry is in server dire straits.

The correlation between the costs of living and wages needs to be addressed soon, otherwise, Australia is facing a manufacturing sector that will be almost 100% outsourced.

not good.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
