The way I read the rules it's any E85, as long as the 85% of ethonal is from CSR. "CSR Ethonal blend" is the wording from memory.

I'm hoping that's right, cause the Powermax is cheaper than the CSR (now Sucrogen), and uses CSR ethonal

Did you mean Power Plus?

Right now I can find 4 suppliers of "racing" E85.

Power Plus

Cheetah Race Fuels

Elf Race Fuels

Fuel Control Australia

But you can also buy the non-racing (basically 91RON mix rather than 98RON mix) from a couple of local petrol stations.

I guess it would be tops to know from that list what can and can't be used.

yeah that's the one. From what i know

Power Plus - 85% CSR Ethonal, 15% Power Plus 98 - $2.30l in tassie

Cheetah ?

Elf - ?

Fuel Control Australia - official CSR E85 (now Sucrogen) - $2.50l +postage to tassie

Phuck bolts, too heavy.

Zip ties and black Sika is where its at.

black sika? forget that, just get into some black nikka and you will think chewing gum is all the sealant you need... my nikka.

that RX7 is not a bad piece of gear for $35K providing the engine is a good one. it would be a great fun circuit car or a pretty lively tarmac rally car.

also on E85 there is also a local sydney supplier now who is selling E85 with the CSR ethanol but blended with BP100 RON premium petrol instead of 98 pump gas. if anyone is keen send me a pm and I'll put you in touch. price is competitive I think and can deliver drums of various sizes.

Ric know's how to build them, and with his mullet powers he can race them too

yeah those more cost effective E85s work under the regs.

for THC mark and the team at race fuels will be doing e85 fuel service http://www.racefuels.com.au/, and there is a 98ron servo on the coursewe cross over twice daily (well prettty close on sunday anyway).

touché... both the red and silver ones!

word on the street is they're right up there with white gts-t's :)

actully it's better than mine, i just got 0km/40l when i emptied my tank. The fuel was so stale it wouldn't run a lawnmower

Good to know - thanks Stu.

Spoke to Mark this morning and the Elf E85 is selling here for $2.20/L - best rate so far I've found for 98RON blended E85 - and will also be available as an on course back up for THC anyways. Hopefully it goes well and we see them back as another supplier in Tas 2011 as well.

Devonport Tyres are the Elf boys... spose mark is using this to get rid of all the elf98 that they have laying round? Scott or Dean @ DPT&F (03) 6427 0700

So I took Newtons EMO 4 for a spin up at DECA on the weekend.

Easiest car to drive fast I've ever driven - by a long way. Quite scary really.

I've driven lots of EMO's over the years but that was the first one thats made me think twice. The challenge now will be to make my new toy as close to being that good as possible. But it was a real eye opener into how good a pretty basic, low powered car can be. But it was a good lesson in that an easy car to drive fast is better than a fast car. It's just easier to build a fast car than it is the other way around!

I heard on the grape vine today that a Western Australian father of a former Joker is planning on building a number of homologated super EMO's with stroked engines, carbon fibre everything and sequential gearboxes to run at Targa 2011 with his #1 driver moving from the R35 to the new car.

Apparently you can have one for a cool $250K (or less if you provide your own "donar" car).

I really need to get onto this Racepace GT-R concept before this window gets closed!

I concur. I think factory specials are ok but workshop specials are going a bit far.

But where then do you draw the line with things like the Skelta's / Daytona's etc.

It's all too hard - but the big boys with the cash are sure going to exploit it whilst they can I guess. Perhaps TQ will see if there is some way to homolagate his RSR.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
