I'm definately gonig to try out this fuel

http://www.deh.gov.au/atmosphere/fuelquali...t/chapter4.html

have a good read through it.

Just remember, E10 is as cheap as regular fuel, and apparently here it says that it has a ron rating of 96?

The reason I'm a little excited about this is because in mackay, we only have 95ron.

I think we are the only place in australia that doesn't have 98 ron fuel.

I notice no-one ever mentions the hygroscopic properties of the E10 blend.

I imagine the fuel as supplied to the lab for testing is spot on, but elsewhere it's humid and wet. How much of that 10% ethanol is water. Fuel filters close over very fast with even the smallest amount of water, and I'm not paying big fuel prices for that.

Following the change to low sulphur diesel and the simply amazing effects it has on "O" rings, plastics etc, I don't trust the lab brains with this one!

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
