yeh, thought we would give it is much as we can as my tuner and i want to give the E85 a go. the added octane and cooler temps should allow it.

Sounds like excellent news!

11:1 is a good compression ratio, a little higher than original...

Cant wait to see/hear a video of the engine roaring...

How much parts do you need to change to use E85?

I heard that from stock, you only need to change the injector, fuelpump and fuel filter and it should be able with a tune to run E85, or am I mistaking?

yeh, its all Gary stuff. the brakes are 330mm, wanted to run 17s, speaking of which, i picked a nice set of 8s & 9s up today.

suspension and brakes look good Stu. Is that blisteins, eibach springs and noltec adjustable bushes?

and the brakes are the 356 like we run?

no, that all sounds about right. i am running two 040 intank pumps & 42pound injectors.

Looking at your rear shocks you are running a GTR rear cradle. Would you happen to know the weight benefit? I mean do the bigger shafts just offset the alloy hubs?

The upgrade to the GTR cradle wasn't done for a weight advantage but for a strength upgrade. I don't think anything was weighed when the conversion was done.

nice. they were a good buy. I was nearly going to grab them as a spare set for the silvia. then remembered I already have 3 sets of rims for the silvia.... :P

A complete GTR cradle compared to a GTS or GTS-T would be similar in weight but provide a lot more strengh to handle the extra two cylinders.

We did the conversion to alloy GTR hubs on Clinton's R32 and saved 3 kg per hub (the important part though is the reduced unsprung weight).

Heavier parts include the shafts, diff housing and additional front diff support bracket.

Common parts are the top arms, traction arms and lower arms (the only difference on lower arms is the balljoints).

hey Roy, i agree with Victory, the weight difference in the shafts will be compinsated for in the alloy hub assy. you may end up giving a kilo or two away in the centre but thats it. i couldnt tell you if the cradle assy was any heavier though. its difficult to weigh these big items, especially on bathroom scales.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
