ok so i finally got my car back today and decided to try this e85 everyone's talking about....

i went on a mission to hoppers crossing united and picked up 40lt for the bargain price of $39.90!!!

i then went on my road trip to my tuner, Rob @ CREATD....

car : 94 r33 gtst with an UNOPENED rb25.

turbo : HKS 2835 pro s (.68)

fuel system : nismo 555cc injectors, nismo pump

management : power fc

we first did a pulp run for comparison's sake and got 270rwkw...

then we dumped the tank and poured in the jingle juice... the first thing you notice is the smell... its sweet... real sweet...

turned the key and when the e85 filtered through the idle was pretty horrible, but livable, the afr's were off... but we gave it a pull just to see the diff off the bat without any fiddling... 278rwkw... not bad...

after a few more pulls and some extra fuel + timing we ended up with 311rwkw! :PBJ:

below is a comparison graph with pulp (green) and e85 (red)

the tune is now nice and tidy, and the car starts, idle's and runs like a dream.

the 311 rwkw is insane with full boost by 3500

traction is now non-existant (with 5/7 greddy coils, positive camber, sways etc)

so after day 1 of e85, i am a VERY VERY happy camper! i even went back and filled the car up and grabbed another 40 lt in the jerry's...

gonna run it for a full week as a test and make my descisions then... but so far, DAMN good!

below is a link to the vid of the 311 run:

:ermm:

BIG thanx once again to Rob @ CREATD for yet another bang up tune!!!

I don't wanna rain on your parade but if you go for a run and need to fuel up with ULP, won't the car run like shit because of the different fuel?

The e85 sounds good and looks like a winner.

It's not like it'll happen everyday but keeping the boot full of jerrys for an extended run is what you'll have to keep in mind.

We don't have it over here yet but I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

Nice work Mr Shabadoo, have you tried the current tune running normal 100ron just incase you get stuck with no e85 available?

Will it ping it's ass off and be a limp home prospect or still be safe under normal driving?

Ye its good fuel no doubt - Matt who is tuning EVO after EVO at the moment is seeing crazy gains. :ermm:

Only issue's i have - its not widespread enough here in Vic yet really... and the price isn't really reflective in terms of economy.

Economy is worse than good pump... depends on the use of the car :)

yeah, i recon i could get 320 with the cam gear, but i decided not to push it anymore :ermm: (+ i want the response)

it took probably 2 hours tuning.... (we chat a lot, we really only did like 10 pulls)

Good results, but am i reading right that you are now running more boost?

yeah, its on 18psi for the e85, and 16 for the pulp, as the pulp tune wasn't gaining any more at that pressure

Awesome results man, and thanks for sharing - really good to see an overlay between normal pump and E85 on the same car :ermm:

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
