Any updates?

Was going to ask you the same thing.

My engine has to come out of the car this weekend, few things going on thats put this project on hold for a little while. Once the new ecu goes in il be back to running E85

The race gas vs E85 issue is the reason I'm keen to back-to-back test 110RON Martini vs E85. I'm aiming to do this prior to the Xmas holiday period.

Sunoco costs me $10/litre...how keen do you think i am.

Do you have enough injector for it, Paul?

my new runners from Hypertune have injector bosses on both top and bottom.

two sets of 1000cc injectors should cover it.

6 lengths of garden hose will do the job too and far cheaper :(

Seen a few highpowered cars running E85 on Friday night. Smells sweet exiting the exhaust :P

Im keen to get my car tuned on it now.

Any updates Anthony?

Whats your economy like now?

I am in the middle of changing ecu's.. so i am back on 98. last tank i got 460km's so worked it out to be 13 litres per hundred with 98.. with e85 my best was about 420km's to a tank.

The servo just past the Meccano set near Landsvale is refusing to sell E85 to the public . They claim (counter jockeys) that the government won't let them do so and that the company (Manildra Group ?) is only selling to people with certification .

Any idea whats going on ?

A .

There is another servo (albeit the same company) a few minutes away that sells E85 (corner of Ferndell St and Rawson Rd, South Granville). I might swing by over the weekend and see what is the G-O with the E85.

Hi GT , there was an Asian lady and an Indian looking feller behind the counter and no power on earth was gonna get me the E85 pump keys .

I tried to explain to them that all I wanted was 4 liters but the answer was no no and no . They said that the last time I got my 4 liters was a mistake and it should not have been sold to me at all .

Just for the record I had ~ 40L of straight Shell 98 ULP and wanted to make it "E10" . I could not get through to them that 4 of 40 is 10% (yeah ok 4 of 44) and no I didn't want the usual low grade E10 mouthwash .

I left contact details but not confident I'll get a return call or message .

I think we need to find a way of accepting responsibility for what we buy otherwise the alconazis are going to make life difficult .

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
