you call him a 'DOG' and then take issue with him calling you 'mate'? oookkkkk hahaha, "i don't roll".... well looks like you'll just have to skip this even then, obviously everyone is not gansta enough for you. And no recording rego's is not a 'dog act' especially as every one has been forewarned. it's a cruise to a FICTIONAL MOVIE you twat, not f*cken real life, go 'drop a patch' in your backyard if you really must

qld and vic floods, would have taken out most the crops i would imagine - Fueltown at Southland would most likely be in the same boat wonder how Caltex is going

some tuners just aren't quite up to speed with E85 yet. Had a rep tuner here in melb tell me all my lines were going to corrode, fuel pump will die, injectors were going to to die etc etc, that was for my GTT...... 2.5 years of constant E85 use later says otherwise (new owner has car on Eflex, with very little if any change from Trents tune from manildra's E85). the other thing with E85 is that it's very hard to tune to the 'ragged edge' anyway because past a certain timing point you start to lose power - so the actual sweet spot is a long way from DET - probably why there aren't really any issues going between a E85+ United/Manildra tune to Caltex without any tune changes, ontop of the car being richer with more petrol anyway

fungoolie: the newer style injectors are fine even at massive sizes. Running ID1000's or ID2000's will give you plenty of control despite the size. Google 'injector dynamics' if you haven't heard of them. Of course, Ethanol friendly as well. Quite a lot of 'big' injectors choices these though due to the greater availability worldwide of E85 But it sounds like Willal have come up with a very elegant solution with the cruise control button so that's probably your best bet as it's been all figured out (like the Evo owners who have one of the factory buttons somewhere 'remapped' to the fuel map switcher) I'm sure Martin can confirm the best procedure in terms of 'when' to switch, ie how low you have to be on whatever fuel you're running. phat mr30: nothing wrong with pump E85 - yes the drum stuff has tighter quality control, but if there was only "crap" coming out of E85 pumps then we would have seen A LOT of problems now. There a bunch of street cars, track cars, drift cars running pump E85, for a few years now and i haven't heard of any widespread issues, which you would expect if it was crap. I know some people have filled up 700L of 'pump' southland E85 to keep in a tank near/at racetracks. I get the impression that some of the 'race only' E85 producers like to push a certain agenda regarding pump E85 to justify the $2.50'ish per litre price.

as i've written already, the front lip isn't the right size for a GTR - you're welcome to have a look and figure out something with your panel beater, but it's not going to fit a standard GTR front bumper - it looks like it's perhaps meant for a GTT

r & r? standard ECU? list your mods

i'm not 100% sure on that as i ran E85 exclusively on the GTT - to be honest, i really don't see a drama with there being a little 98 left in the lines tank etc - at the end of the day it's just fuel and the afr's/timing has been changed to suit. I don't see having 95% E85 and 5% 98 is going to cause massive det or other problems. 'E85' varies in % anyway and peoples E85 tunes aren't causing blow-ups etc, so natural variability isn't causing an issue, i'm sure a little 98 mixed in would be ok. Prob just run as low as you can, fill up E85 or 98, take it easy for the first few kms. The United and Southland E85's aren't exactly 85% all the time anyway and we never had any issues, and the new owner of my GTT in Canberra is now on E-Flex and had no issues with Trent's Southland E85 tune - so the % of ethanol might change normally anyway, and because most tuners won't tune to the ragged edge, you should be fine Maybe have a chat to Trent about it, i'm sure he'll be able to let you know exactly what the deal is

domino, Hoppers Crossing is the only United with E85 in Melb, but they like Fueltown @ Southland are having supply issues due to the floods. Southland expects 6-9months before they start pumping their E85 again and they thought Hoppers were poss having some issues as well. Trent @ Status (Chequered) Tuning has been playing with E85 for a couple years now, he did my GTT about 2 years ago for the stuff and has done them constantly since, including quite a few competition drifters. He found the Southland E85 to be slightly better than the United E85, but interestingly hasn't found much difference with Caltex's E-Flex - even if only E70 for the cooler months (so around now i would guess) AFR's only changed a little and power was practically unaffected. Caltex will give you a lot more pumping options too, unless you live near Hoppers. I certainly don't miss doing the near 2 hour round trip to Hoppers with the GTT

possibly a photoshop Jamie??? just minor things wrong, like, i dunno.... the backwards R badge

shit gets real at 88mph as well, need a good tuner if reaching those road speeds

"step away from the shovel.... no-one needs to get hurt"

yep my walbro coped fine with the E85 for about 18months i had it on the GTT and the new owner is running E85 as well, so we're well over 2 years now with E85 and walbro - just made 110% sure i got a genuine one initially

very very roughly $50'ish per dent, very rough guide though

it was that very occassion that i had in mind for the 'disadvantages' column

www.chequeredtuning.com - formerly known as Status Tuning Trent is the guru of Nistune in Melbourne - do not hesitate, book now to avoid disappointment seriously though, for what you want, Trent is 110% the man to take it to

it was just a thought, and i like you, see advantages and disadvantages for either approach... it's hard to know which way to go' i was thinking of perhaps letting Graeme know, might be a better way to pass the message along it's a tough call that's for sure

that's why i was thinking, show them the groups involved aren't a bunch of f-wits wanting to recreate scenes from FnF and say 'look, we're having a big event just letting you know the score, we have advised all attending that the police have been notified and that we'll not tolerate any dickhead behaviour. All groups have been instructed to take down numbers plates of those acting the fool and will be reported to you' hopefully they respect the heads-up and won't plan a 'random' vehicle inspection checkpoint for you guys just after the movie at the entrance....

i was thinking the same thing, but in case they don't it might save them from freaking out and over-reacting once they are enevitably notified on the evening, plus if all car groups involved are advised that the police have been notified, it might help reduce the sure to be present richard craniums. if for some reason, this even has passed them buy, and some ignorant member of the public has a panic attack the number of 'hoon' cars in attendance, it may avoid some heavy handedness

any thoughts about notifying police? it's getting pretty big now

how one can contain themselves when driving mt panorama.......... skip Chris' at skene's creek, over-priced and nothing special - will not be going back in a hurry. Poor service too for the prices they were charging

i know for big dyno day/night events, the local popo sometimes are notified - i wonder given the numbers you guys are looking at whether it be prudent to notify them? there are advantages/disadvantages for this approach, but perhaps something worth considering?

Used him to fix 2 dents on the GTT before i sold it - flawless work, 100% recommend Vince

bumper now sold that's essentially everything - i think the front lip is GTT sized if anyone is interested, but not 100% sure

is it a respray? IIRC, the Nurs never came out in such a pearly white???

my old car it's funny, after all these years... still the most sort after GTT kit the EB kit was just quality... through and through oh and my front bar was plastic, awesome quality - strong AND flexible, never cracked. Took a 100km/hr hit of a very thick tree branch before the lower lip decided to crack, and even then it was only a clean crack in one spot that was easily fixed. would have been shatter-ville if it was fibreglass
