Seems like the United at rozelle is still selling it.

I called the servo and from what i could understand (literally) from the attendant,its still available.

Looks like im up for a bit of a drive today lol

bought e85 from united roselle the other day.

road tuned it for epa today and passed.

comparing my results from last epa test on bp 98, e85 kills it

thc went from 1.65 to 0.05

nox went form 3.84 to 1.63

the others were about the same.

what sort of cat?

i could be wrong, but I do know that it cost Rozelle 40,000$ to setup their servo for E85. They got the contract with CSR in the city to supply fuel for their company flex cars.

Those other dodgy servo's may have not done this preperation like the United servo's do ? United also uses CSR sugar caine to make the ethanol which has been proven to be better then the other stuff available, not sure if its higher octane or not but I know the CSR stuff is the best stuff.

So yeah if united Rozelle are still selling then that would probly be why???

I should just go over there after work today and check this all out, once i downsize my turbo i will be going back to e85.

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. :)

wait on the highway, flag down truck, pull pistol/shotgun/left hook, drive truck home. instant 10,000 litre stash. ;) just like ye olde stage coach robberies.

i am not spending anymore money on this car

I said the same thing about a year ago...

Then again about 6 months ago....

And again about 2 months ago....

Once more about a week ago....

*Just ordered $200 worth of braided lines :P *

I have been flat-out at work all week, so this is my first chance to post.

Now, my news might not trouble anyone outside of SA, but as of last Friday the Malaysian company Carotino, that owns Environmentally Friendly Fuels (ENFFUE) and the old South Australian Farmers Fuels (SAFF), has pulled the pin on the entire operation. This means that they (ENFFUE) are now in receivership. I have yet to find any news media detailing the situation, but having rang ENFFUE Australia head office it doesn't look good. Their office manager told me over the phone that 'we have just been placed into receivership and if you want to know about getting access to E85 in the future you will have to liaise directly with the service station owners' - understandably, she didn't sound very happy :D

There are currently only two service stations in SA that sell E85 and both are ENFFUE outlets. The manager at the main station said he has no idea about the future of E85 at their servo’, or any of servo’ in SA for that matter. His words were “I have 400L left and after that, who knows. If you want some you’d better get down here quick.”

However, on the flipside, it turns out a local race fuel/oil distributor that I have had dealings with over the years has recently set themselves up to sell a high-performance E85 brew (E85/98). They are charging $1.70L and are ‘hoping’ they can maintain a regular supply. Why hoping? Because they were sourcing their E85 through the same supply chain as ENFFUE. I have stocked up on this brew (have ~$170L) and am hoping this will last me until a regular supply has been re-established. Failing that it looks like I’ll be paying a shitload for 200L drums - as required. It will be interesting to see if my current tune will require any tweaking to suit the E85/98 brew vs. the old E85/91 brew.

Oh, and I entered in a 40 car field dyno day last weekend. Lee (RB25DETS2) encouraged me to enter, lent me his rear wheels and tyres (had MT ET Radials fitted and they don’t like dyno rollers), and provided his tools and assistance to swap rears. It came as a huge surprise when I ended up winning the event outright with 366rwkw on 22.5psi. Lee’s ’33 came a strong second with 356rwkw on 23psi. One or two big hitters didn’t make it on the day and one or two had issues, so I kind of fell over the line more than anything else.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
