You can look on the united site and select united servo nearby where the cruise goes and you can also view what fuel they sell at the Bowser E85,p100 etc,

As for the half way meet point is this the twin Caltexs on F3 freeway?

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

LOL!! Tell me about it!!! hahah have contacted Toshi - maybe can get him to help me look at it and give me a quote...

I am up for this... From the Newcastle end.

meeting at Halfway point or is there a Meet up for the Newcastle people before hand?

Looks like livewire is trying to organise something, check out the Newcastle spotted thread, I hit him up about it today.

Which mean we leave there and head into 16km of the some of best road NSW has to offer :D

Yep now that is what I like to hear lol.

And thanks James, your name has been added.

As Jackson has mentioned I believe livewire has been organising a Newcastle Meet :)

Ok, so anyone from Newcastle/Central Coast/Hunter Valley that would like to meet up with myself and Global_warmer in Singleton before heading down the Putty Road, here's the plan...

Meetup 9-9:30 at Sundial on Ryan Avenue, Singleton

Leave around 9:45/10 (allowing 1.5 hours to Putty meetup)

I have attached a "dodgy looking' map lol. If you have gps, type in Ryan Avenue, Singleton 2330, otherwise i've highlighted directions from coming into town. Very easy to find. McDonalds is on the New England highway (changes name to Maitland Rd when coming into town) so you will run into it. There are two sets of traffic lights at the intersections outside Mcdonalds/Hungry Jacks/pizza hut etc, take a left at the second set of lights (york st) an follow it till the end, left again and then next right opposite the united servo and you'll see a giant sundial at the end of the street. We'll be waiting at the sundial :-)

Is it 177km there and back or each way, cause each way means I'm out, I can't carry that much fuel :( lol

170km per tank is about the best I have done, cause I love boost :yes:

There is United E85 is Cessnock which really isnt that far to travel if you are keen...

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

I run 28psi and dont have the fuel consumption issues you guys have? Well when i was street driving anyhow... Would get at least 350km to a tank including plenty of full throttle!

On track its shithouse but that is mostly full throttle :P

I'll just bring a few Jerries, should be plenty, it will work out to just over two tank fulls

What can I say, my 34 has a drinking problem lol :D

Just a suggestion for those running e85 who are concerned about fuel consumption... Rather than being turned off coming or not wanting to carry spare fuel, maybe come up the putty road with a full tank but head back via Cessnock to the F3?

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
