Did you know.... The first production car the Ford Model T 1908 was flex fuel compatible ? It could run just as good on ethanol as did on gasoline. There was a brass knob on the right side of the stee

Mick, I don't see the point of pushing every last kw out of an engine in a daily driver. I mean each to their own and all that - bit different for track cars. A tune will forever be a compromise betwe

lol...

just wondering how everyone else's car idles?

mine is a bit rough until its 100% up to temp, and then it still wont hold as much as pulp...

not sure if it's the tune or the fuel... we only really threw a quick tune at it, pretty much just looked at the top end so as not to kill it

Where's that?

farken NOWHERE!

united have kingsway listed as having e85 on their website AND they told me it would be there when i called head office!

BUT ITS NOT THERE!

i went in today expecting to fill up and there is no pump... this is the SECOND time united have told me incorrect information relating to e85... last time after speaking to head office i drove out to buleen to NO avail!

UNBELIEVABLY disorganised company.... they dont have head office listed with directories, or even most of their outlets!

not happy jan.... srsly how freakin hard is it?

Sure, the servo is 1000 kay away. ;)

maybe i can help with distributing the stuff. the guy who has the servo at rozelle seems to be a nice guy. i could ask him if he would be interested in helping ship the stuff out.

One of our time attack sponsors is a fuel distributor up here GT, They are looking in to it atm but if they dont come through I will look at ideas from there. I have been interested in this stuff for a couple of years and it pisses me that they grow it up here and ship it past us to you guys down south. ;)

SHOCKING NEWS!!!

E85 will no longer be available from the bowser!!!

Went to both Enhance servos and they said E85 wont be available until further notice.

Apparently the bowsers are calibrated for petrol (derr)

But due to E85s different chemical makeup the calibration gets thrown out of whack.

So 1L is not exactly 1L.

The petrol companies have brought this to the governments attention, so from now on E85 is only available in 200L drums.

And get this, the price is $500 per drum (due to extra shipping and handling costs)

Farkin pisses me off!!

There is a petrolchemical company that can supply the drums but at $2.50/L and at $500 at a time i think ill parking the car until i can get some sort of hard evidence that this is all true.

Ill keep you all posted.

WTF! fark off!

is this united aswell?

I would say so.

I think its a bloody conspiracy.

Now that people have shown that cars can run on this stuff with no problem, and making big ponies with it.

The petrol companies are scared that this will affect their bottom line seeing as only 15% of petrol being used.

Pisses me off to the max if this turns out to be the case!!!

      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.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
