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. :)

haha Joel loves his E85. my worry is the availability, if im running close to empty, and there aren't any e85 servos around?

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. ;)

Mate, Nismo gear goes straight in without any different plugs, fuel rails n all that bullshit...

Cubes, whats the go with E85 eating at your fuel pumps, lines, injectors? Im curious!

im now officially an unemployed bum ;)

but i must say working for the gov was the best job i ever done

best day working there was handing out free suncream to people at the big day out giving me a free ticket into bdo and getting paid my normal accounts wage while there :D boo ya

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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
