yeah he is where i got the idea from :blink:

the Blitz 555's are $690, will i need an aftermarket fuel rail for them or new regulator?

Don't be WEAK!!!!

Go for a set of 800's so you can tune it for E85 as its now available in SA and soon to be rolled out everywhere. :)

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Don't tune for it just yet.. But at least you know you will have the head room in the injectors when your ready to. :D

A set of sard twin spray 800cc's pull up fine and return stock economy. Don't buy single squirter's they are crap under 2k.

You need around 35% more injector with E85. So for ~300rwkw you will need ~700cc injectors with E85.

Depends on the dyno but 550's generally hit 80% at around 300-310rwkw. + the E85 as you can crank some timing in to it and it just won't ping will make another 30rwkw odd.

Just sucks 34 injectors are so expensive in that size. ;)

Yeah i read that too Ryan, apparently even the fuel tank should be changed the stainless steel, and you have to remove all rubber, foam etc from the fuel setup.

bah its load of crap. :D

Ethanol actually cleans. Not quite as good as water injection but damn close.

Unless you leave it in your tank for 1+month only then does it begin to absorb water.

Unless you have an aluminium fuel tank you don't have to worry. ;)

Bosch fuel pumps are designed with ethanol in mind.

The 'only' issue E85 has is with 'old' fuel line.

I've replaced my fuel hose from the tank to front with suitable hose from pirtek cost me a total of $40. These cars are 10+ years old now its worth while replacing fuel hose regardless of fuel especially when base fuel pressure (36-40psi) + boost (20psi) = up to 60psi of pressure running through 10+year old often surface cracked fuel hose = disaster waiting to happen.

Dino fuels leave deposits, so when you change to Bio fuel it will clean out the system. Its a food idea to replace your fuel filters regularly for the first few thousand k's (ie at 2K and again at 5k)

As for fuel lines, if you still have the original rubber ones replace them (they are overdue anyway), and if you have replaced them in the last 2 years you should be fine. Its the same argument for E85 as Bio-Diesel, much of it is scare tactics, other bits are common sense.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
