The poor bastard/small business and normal Australians will feel the pinch more than anyone else as at the end of the day - WE are the ones paying more, and more - when the rest of the western world does sweet fck all about emissions.
Germany has gone down a path of lowering emissions for their power grid and they look to achieve them but it will still take them years before a serious percentage is offset.
That's what i thought was the reason for most big businesses failing to stand up and call the Govt out on how ridiculous this whole thing is. When there are Govt subsidies and concessions to be had etc, who's going to be brave enough to argue?
And the first female G-G booting out the first female PM? Unlikely.
No-one in terms of business, only us if our MP's even agree.
Yea your right, as she was appointed by a PM and the Queen in reality has not much to do with it. F*** if they all share the same bed, it must be the size of A.C.T.

<br />Local manufacturers don;t care because they are already subsidised and will probably be subsudised further. Holden already has the labour for building the Commodore paid for by the govt.<br /><br />Subsudised obviously has something to do with getting into a bath with politicians rather than bed but no matter how hard you scrub you just get dirtier.<br />
Yes, Holden always will stand by the government of the time as they have been bailed out numerous times and probably will continue down that path off and on for years to come. But my point is if the Government does subsidize all business or even just big business then its us, the sheep who pay it and in reality they just wanted more taxes with this being the easiest way.
Lets hope the senate and people in it like Nick Xenophon quell this shit so we can hurry up and vote Ju-Liar out. Or would it be too much to ask of the Governor-General to oust this fool of a PM? As she is definitely not fit to be head puppet for our nation and at this time none of Labor should be trusted as the real power brokers hide within their ranks and other affiliated parties all the while having no clue as to the running of a nation.

WOULD IT WORK OR NOT?
NOT, now stop asking silly questions that most people (even your parents) would know the answer to.

The GTR one should be fine as they apparently flow more than GTS-T, if you were worried about the age/life of the GTR pump buy one of the others.

I have done that b4 but the letters are flat so once i paint over the whole cal i wont be able to see the Nissan word again...its Flat..paint on paint...
Thats what I was saying about the stickers getting made or somthing ...????
I guess you will have to put masking tape over it and cut the letters out using a scapel or stanley knife, etc. Same as if you were doing body work prep on a car, any pro spray painters out there with tips is probably who you wanted to ask.
Jin_Man and Dohmar from my experience scratching with a screw driver or sand paper still leaves problems eventually, the OP is after a pro finish. No offense intended.

R31-Nismoid is right but Holset has been making turbos many years before kkk and kkr.
Failing all else Hyper Gear have some good options check them out also, just don't rush in like most people do because the wrong choice like before will make it regrettable. Talk to the people on here that have tried this stuff before via PM instead of leaving it open. I'm sure R31-Nismoid would be happy to recommend others to talk to if you asked him and from that glean an average in terms of your price range.
Providing that you know what you what in terms of general setup. (ie. Standard manifold, internal/external wastegate, and the list goes on.)

This is what i found for NSW not sure whether it applies to the whole country. EDIT: Maybe you should call the EPA or someone like that and get it from the horses mouth.
Noise from motor vehicle horns
Horns cannot be installed or used if they are louder than the level in clause 21 of the Regulation. This level is 120 decibels for noise made up of a single non-varying loudness and pitch or 85 decibels in any other case.
Police and Emergency Service vehicles are exempt.
Horns should be used as traffic warning devices only and not as a means of relieving driver stress or frustration.

Like in the wasteland today, i think the house needs a good clean out.
It has also been comment on by some in the science community that if Australia implements a Carbon Tax it will have no effect in the grand scheme of things. As in our carbon footprint is FA compared to the rest of the world, why should we suffer when other country's will probably never introduce such a tax?
IMO at some point maybe introduce this tax but certainly not now the way things are. Put some farmer in charge they are more likely to do a better job, instead of these so called "educated" lying idiots.
-
Now that can be taken out of context
Yea i'll change that now.
-
fair enough. i missed that somehow.
if you had the cash would you do it? honest question.
That's alright, no problems.
If i had the cash, yes i probably would for something different(as it seems every one is running RB26, 1and 2JZ). There are only a hand full of these engines around and are in old school hot rods, getting the thing to fit may take a bit of mucking around however.
-
bit of a myth IMO - my fuel filters were fine, replaced twice during the approx 18months i was on E85, even cut one open to have a look - that's 100% E85 as well, no map changes back to 98 here and there
I suppose you could be right and upon thinking about it maybe even the initial change of the fuel filter when first going to E85 might not be needed. Ethanol as we know is a solvent and could breakdown stuff already trapped in the fuel filter but even then if it is getting past the fuel filter why worry as it must be alright to go through the injectors, etc.
In theory anyway.

Are you already running a gap of 0.8mm on your spark plugs or 1.1mm, and how old are they, what type? (eg. copper)
-
good to see you can copy and paste
Yes i can and i quite enjoy it! Just learning to use a computer, would you help teach me?
i dont get what ford has to do with a skyline.
except fords are gay - true sory
why would you even cosider ford?
The OP was originally talking about putting a windsor in her skyline Ti burnout car, hence my post a engine originally designed for NASCAR back in the sixties. There are lots of great engines out there soooo why stick to 1 brand and its the OP's money. AaronNM35.....Cool Starry Bra!

The Ford Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) 427 V8 engine, familiarly known as the "Cammer"
With a single four-barrel carburetor they were rated at 616 horsepower (459 kW) at 7,000 rpm & 515 ft lbs of torque(698 Nm) @ 3,800 rpm, and while equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors they made 657 horsepower (490 kW) at 7,500 rpm & 575 ft/lbs of torque(775 Nm) @ 4,200 rpm

Nah mate I wanna know if it should be stalling the car if I unplug it ?
From what i understand the ecu relies on the signal from the AFM to know how much fuel to chuck in the cylinders(for air/fuel ratios). So in answer to your question i would expect it to stall.
-
i have an rb26 with 555 injectors garrett -5 turbos, autronic computer and aurtronic cdi 15psi.
will i get any gain on e85 or is it not worth it.
dont have time to get the tune changed.
Needs to be tuned and likely bigger injectors, as a short answer. It will also require a couple of new fuel filters replaced periodically as the crap is cleaned out of the tank + fuel lines.
-
Either way still post up what was wrong, once you have found out.
U sure you don't have one of these: Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) engines
Just a small joke, go on have a little chuckle. And i completely agree with you about warranty and taking it back to original mechanic/builder.

In truth you would be better off having a car that has golf ball like dimples all over it because after 60km/h wind resistance is quite a factor (ever wondered why the don't use perfectly round golf balls) but even this is still only one part and off topic.
The below is taken from: http://hpwizard.com/...al-inertia.html
Flywheels
This section is the most complicated and hence the most long winded. My apologies in advance. First off, a change in flywheel may effect revability, ease of speed matching shifts, ease of pulling away from a stop, NVH, etc...none of which will be discussed here. So, that having been said, how does a lightweight flywheel help in terms of acceleration? In short, a lot...or not at all. Bear with me for a second.
We're staged at the tree, in first gear, engine near redline, clutch pedal on the floor ready to be side-stepped, warranty ready to be voided. Light goes green, we side step, RPM drops, car surges forward, RPMs climb again, clutch starts smelling expensive. What has happened in that short time is that we've converted the rotational energy stored in the flywheel to forward motion. Now we're trying to spin it up again. To a lesser extent, this happens at EVERY gear change. The energy stored in the flywheel goes towards spinning up the rest of the drive train and moving the car forward, and then the engine works to spin the flywheel back up to near red-line speeds. So is it better to reduce or increase the inertia of the flywheel? Before we answer that, a few points:
- Not all flywheel energy is converted to forward motion. Some is lost to clutch slip, in the form of heating and ablation of the clutch disk. How much is lost? Depends on the speed difference of the clutch face and flywheel, the condition of the flywheel surface, the grippiness of the clutch, the speed of the shift, and some other factors I'm probably forgetting. Some of the energy is also lost to engine friction, in the form of RPM drop between shifts. So there's no definite answer to this question. As such, I've left it open in the calculator below. "Recovery Percentage" is the percent of flywheel rotational energy that gets converted to forward motion after each shift. Take your best guess. Also note that even if 100% of the flywheel energy is transferred to the drive train when you shift up, you're still likely to lose some of that energy to instantaneous wheel spin (aka "chirp").
- A heavy flywheel can load the engine. This is not necessarily a bad thing. If your car is turbocharged, you can load it against the flywheel to help spool the turbos before launching...assuming your timing is good enough. And for a car with a narrow power band, the flywheel can help keep the engine in the sweet spot between shifts.
- The flywheel energy stored in first gear is "free". "Free" at the drag strip, anyway. Meaning time and energy spent spinning up the flywheel when staging doesn't count against your E.T. In fact, in the extreme case, a huge flywheel could actually make your car quite a bit faster. For instance, take a 3000lb car with a 100hp engine and an enormous flywheel. You could theoretically run a 10 second quarter mile...if you were allowed a few minutes to spin up the flywheel in the staging lane, and could find a way to dump the stored power without breaking anything. Like I said, this is an extreme example just to make a point. Flywheel energy storage systems can have tremendous power to weight ratios, but are a challenge for mobile applications due to gyroscopic forces and safety concerns.
All that having been said, the calculator below will show you that the equivalent mass of the flywheel is HUGE, especially in lower gears. It's not uncommon for the equivalent mass of a flywheel to be 10x its static mass. Mitigating this somewhat is the fact that the equivalent mass is most significant in 1st and 2nd gears, and you may be traction limited there anyway.
This calculator will display the results in two forms. The first is a raw equivalent mass calculation for each gear. This gives the equivalent mass assuming you accelerate from 0 RPM to redline in only one gear. Not terribly realistic, but it shows the diminishing effects of flywheel rotational inertia in higher gears.
The second presentation is "constant equivalent mass", for lack of a better phrase, and is a bit more meaningful. This accounts for launch RPM (free flywheel energy) and the recovery of energy between shifts, at whatever percentage you specify. The equations are a bit involved, so I'll explain by example instead. Bear with me on this one...
Let's say you have a 20 gallon water tank in your car. Accelerating it from idle to redline in first gear (say 30 mph) takes a certain amount of work. As you shift in to second you trigger a quick dump valve, leaving you with 12 gallons of water in the tank. In second gear you accelerate this mass of water from 30 to 60 mph. Now you shift into third, and dump 7 more gallons. You accelerate the remaining 5 gallons of water from 60 to 90 mph, and we'll stop there for now. Accelerating this variable mass of water from 0-90 mph took a certain amount of energy. The constant equivalent mass is the CONSTANT amount of mass that takes the same amount of energy to accelerate from 0-90 mph. Note that it's more than a simple average, since it takes into account the relative gear ratios, the energy recovery, and launch RPM.
Hope this helps!

Spotted a grey 33 in the port at 4:30ish.
Spotted a white 34 on main north at around 7pm, slow down buddy if u r on here.
To all the assholes today in v8 Sttato's and Fords, i am sitting in the left lane because i choose to drive sedately and enjoy the ride!

Hey people..
Just installed a greddy plenum.
All done except one thing. Need to know what this hose is for. comes from the little box far left back corner.
help much appreciated..
That sir is what makes the standard boost gauge work.
EDIT: I'm under the assumption that it was connected to the rear of the stock plenum.
-
Seriously just putter around in any turbo like it was a 4cyl n/a and you will get fuel economy even if you have standard ecu with rich mixtures. I had my mother drive my s2 r33 gts-t with light mods and she got better fuel economy than me because it comes down to your right foot.
-
How could they tune your ecu if its standard? Unless you have the Nistune board added to it.
As for your problem it could be: Worn CAS, Air leaks on intake side.
Can't really think of anything else at the moment.

Well that was a long read... Thanks ! I tried to find if our car can run it but after reading that i doubt i would bother... If i didnt have to change anything to run it i would give it a few tank full runs ... Any one know?
Sorry about the long read but i am a fan of giving people a certain amount of info and seeing if they can figure it out themselves(Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime) + i don't think u used the search function as suggested. Guilt-Toy has been using it since 2008 and on the first post he, through his story explains about its usage and the need for tuning. However that link i posted from his thread also gave you the answer but i guess you glanced over it, which is fine as everyone is unique.
"Ethanol started off as the bad boy of alternative fuels, damaging some fuel systems not designed to take what is almost pure alcohol - albeit with additives to make people vomit if they drink it and blended with petrol in varying ratios."
"In a classic chicken-and-egg dilemma, car makers and fuel companies have been at a stalemate about using the fuel in Australia. Fuel companies haven't rushed E85 to market, given only a handful of cars are engineered to take it, while car makers argue there's no point selling E85-compatible cars because you can't buy the fuel.
Last year, though, Holden bit the bullet by modifying two of the three engine variants available in its top-selling Commodore range to run on E85. However, Holden wasn't the first to use E5. Saab, Chrysler, Dodge and even Bentley offer E85-compatible vehicles."
Nissan is not listed as a maker of cars from factory that can run e85, at least according to the article.
Good luck to that fella chucking it in his turbo Mitsubishi.

Unsure about v35 but i know R32, 33, 34 would need to be tuned for it. It burns cooler and with less knocking, with potential power gains. Use your search function there are whole threads on this stuff.

Apparently there have been death threats against julia and a hand-full of MP's.
And no it wasn't me cos that's not my style.
