Used for about 6 months lines looked good.

Pulled the injectors out to compare the O-rings to new ones. Couldnt tell the difference between the two. O-rings were as flexible as the new ones, no cracks.

Apologies if this is in one of the preceding pages (or on another thread).

Was reading the latest HP magazine about Donnan making a methanol/U98 blend in lieu of E85 and he reported very good results. There are a couple of points in the article that seem too good to be true:

* The methanol by the nature that it is blended with U98 is not "corrosive" as per straight methanol as used in drag cars.

* The methanol was easy and cheap (~$1.00/L) to obtain.

* Similar flow rates to normal U98 means that existing fuel hardware may be suitable, although a retune is required to gain the maximum benefits.

Anyone have experience with this?

I just swapped an RB25 powered DR30 from Martini race fuel to Powerplus E85, The Injectors are now to small so i had to drop 5psi boost, The car raced this weekend and did its best ever lap times in 15years in super poor weather Almost matching WAs best ever Skyline time in perfect conditions, 61.8 long track at Wanneroo on 8inch rims and RE55s in a DR30 and the poor weather is flying.

what heat range spark plugs are you guys running with your ethenol verse pump gas?

over here we run

ngk 7s in 90% of the turbod nissans we tune on 98 pump gas. as it helps aviod detonation

i think from memory we ran ngk 7s in the ethenol mixed cars we tuned also.

although a slightly warmer plug may benifit cold starting with the cooler burning ethenol

although we havn't really don't a lot of playing around with ethenol fuel apart from a couple cars to see what kind of gains you could get out of them

Next one.

The V8 supercars aparently run E85 now.

Anyone know what blend the control fuel is for the V8 Supercars ?

85 % ethanol + U98 / U91 /109 / etc etc ???

I been checking the regs but can't find any solid info.

We sell 85% Ethanol and 15% 110 Racefuel in 205 drums in Perth, Huge numbers of WA Racecars are using it now. 116RON, 108MON.

Gains over Racefuels E85 has been very good.

Whats the cost for 205 litre drum?

Just thought i would mention, a silvia that was tuned at JEM a few day ago cranked out a very impressive 407rwkw on E85 (out of the bowser)

This SR has had alot of engine work and produced the numbers with a hybrid T04Z at 30psi.

In 3 weeks JEM will get their hands on my mates RB25/30 that has been solely built to run on E85.

Hoping to crack the 500rwkw mark ;)

Fingers crossed!

One of these days someone'l strap on a GT4088R (which you can buy locally) and they will be the "new" gun turbo for that power range . The switched on Americans absolutely love them because they are very resposive and provided the engine is up to it make the power standing on their ear . Magic combination of housings/wheels/trims BUT must be used only in twin scroll form with the proper matching turbine housings .

If you ever get to hold one of these 88Rs in your hands you'd think hmm , big (T4) mount flange but not that much larger overall than a GT3582R with a 1.06 A/R turbine housing . Normal in/out comp housing fittings meaning none of that GT42R bulk or odd truck connections . They were designed to be a performance petrol turbo so have no diesel engine ancestry .

One day , cheers A .

I like this mans posts.. totally on topic and off topic at the same time :down:

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
