Bosch 1000's, you should be able to get them for around the same price, why would you go for anything else these days for less than 500kw.

Cheers mate, bosch 1000's are even cheaper than rochester 1000's. Only problem is i'll need to change the fuel rail to fit either, i found a set that will fit into the stock rail made by deatschwerks but they are a good $115 a piece. Weighing up whether its worth going for Bosch 1000's and a new rail or go the deatschswerks. Personally i think if i'm going to up the ante later on down the track it'd be worthwhile going for a new rail, eh?

Damn!

What is the current E content of the United stuff? How does it compare to E-flex?

I have no idea, as long as the wideband shows less than 12:1 im happy, if it ever got leaner than that I would be adding a little 98 and getting another tune but I haven't seen much variation on the wideband in 3 years to worry about it at all.

^^tis e85

There are 4 United servo's in NSW now, hopefully more will follow as they are pumping the Melbourne rollout heavily. Dont look if you don't want to get upset. lol.

there everywhere here now, cant believe those 2 shell servos just before the Westgate bridge are now Uniteds..

When you have waited 3 years for a local servo like I have, its hard to not be excited. Sorry, I will try to contain myself. :)

If its any consolation it took me 5 minutes to start my car today, I almost threw in the towel and got the aerostart. Gotta get the tune done, these cold starts are killing me. (or at least have the laptop out for a fiddle)

About 5 kw

Haha I'd be excited too.... But my result on E70 was crazy enough... E85 wouldn't make any more on mine i reckon as its maxed the exhaust and turbo combo.... So its probably one of those results that would vary, but at the end of the day if it's 5kw over 300 then it's bugger all ;)

Perhaps, but those 5 here and 5 there can add up to a lot of extra power once all the restrictions are taken care of.

It would give you a gain, mine was well maxed and I squeezed another 6 out of it. Mainly changed as its local to me.

Unfortunately Caltex seem to have stalled with their e85 rollout, much to Holden's disgust i'm sure. They got burned hard on the contract to supply it when the ethanol dried up last year, so I understand their unwillingness to install more pumps until demand has risen. (or until their waste ethanol plant is up and running) United on the other hand are set on cornering the market by the looks of it, a good position to be in as petrol gets more expensive.

Anyone care to guess what will happen to petrol prices in the carbon trading economy? The government would be stupid to stifle e85's take up by taxing their greenest fuel option to date but who knows...

Nothing would suprise me at the moment.... None of the governments seam to give two shits about ethanol fuel, especially over here where it's still illegal because they haven't got around to ammending the old laws.

STFU eastern pricks and your ethanol!

  • 2 weeks later...

yeah, the united on Davey street has it too though I dare say Baxter has newer/cleaner tanks...

So what sort of mileage did you get on your PI trip last week..did you have to use jerrys as well.??

Only got about 200kms out of my first tank...bit of a worry..

Ha! I've chucked a couple of 20L Jerry's in

My car to do to and from work... So far fuel economy seems to be a fail... Am gunna fill up on Sunday and do a commute report ;)

I'd just be very satisfied as I've ranted before, if modded vehicles are locked in tune to E70-85, were left alone by the EPA and cops, on the basis they are a very proven pollution emissions reducer. It seems too logical and simple for the numpties in power, if we have modded to pollute less, leave us alone on the roads from than angle. Meanwhile an E10 unserviced standard worn out hack spewing smoke from engine wear, on barely treaded tyres is generally left alone.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
