I tried to fill up at Caltex in Footscray but only got 16L in before it cut out. I put another 4 and it cut out again GRRRRRR. Thinking about going back to 98

A dodgy servo pump is enough to push you back onto 98? You had better not go to Springvale then. :)

I heard CSR had over 1 million litres stockpiled less than a year ago, I doubt they went through it that quick. Caltex would have a contract to supply Eflex so I doubt they will let it run out, surely they will just order it from overseas if Australian suppliers run out.

what would you get to a full tank? on my GTT with a Nistune (same thing, remap) i could get low 300's, like 320km around town with a tank of E85, and that's real E85 as well (southland) i suspect E-flex would have yielded a slightly better result with more petrol content.

my GTR isn't a good comparo at the moment as we need to replace the O2 sensor, but no reason with a remap you couldn't get 300km to a tank for an rb25

actually, which engine?

quick question,

is the Bosch 044 external pumps ok to use with e85?

experiance anyone?

Yeah Im using one with it at the moment and so far no moment. Bosch don't recomend using them with ethanol since they haven't tested it with them but heaps of people run them and don't have any problems.

Good news everyone!! "dr farnsworth voice"

The V8 SUPERCARS teams left a whole lot of barrels of E85 at Yas Island circuit, my boss works there and he snapped them up for a good price!

Bring on e85 tuning again! hahahaa its been more then 2 years since ive played with the stuff, good to know the old thread is still churning away! might come in handy!

Does the fuel go off in barrels quickly? the race was in January.

No issues with fuel going off at all and mine was stored a lot longer than that :)

damn, all i can say is Grats on the tune mate,

and i get headaches from the smell of petrol, so if anything i'll be looking into E85 just for my brains sake! Mmm cooking oil..

Will be looking into E85 now.

Cheers dude

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
