I am watching Hamish's results for the next week then doing this myself with datalogit, can't hurt to have a second tune programmed for this stuff.

Might even buy a 200lt drum of the shit and fill up at home lol

Congrats dude.

yeah, i'm eagerly awaiting my weeks fuel usage...

so far i have driven a normal 50 k's ( not including the 3/4 tank i used on the dyno and "testing":) ) and the guage is still above full :ermm:

Nice results :ermm:

Excuse the ignorance, I haven't bothered to read anything about this fuel...

but 85% ethanol? People were pissing and moaning about 5-10% ethanol destroying fuel systems etc (I personally ran V-power racing for a period of time with no issues, and 1 tank of 100RON United which I think has ethanol as well, with no issues) but 85%?

What are the pros/cons of it?

Might be worth looking into it, especially if its available in Hoppers (where I live) and with a laptop/datalogit to swap between maps for 98 and E85...

Well done mate, 311 kw aint nothing to be sneezed at. Bet it feels good on the road. E85 is good stuff thats for sure.

yeah, it's an awesome drive now.... if i had tyres with some form of tread remaining it would be perfect... :ermm:

are u buying it in jerry cans to store it at home?

or cos you cant easily change maps yet?

you would be able to work out the mathematics so that you could use

the temp ign and inj adjustments on the hand controller

as a "drop down" method to run 98 penis fuel

so the tune would be on e85

then when you cant get e85 dial in some correction on the temp adjust (is lost when car is powered off)

and it should be reasonable. saves laptop / datalogit

let us know re fuel economy

im keen to try it too on std turbo

not expecting more power

but happy to dial in more timing and make the engine scream

i already run near 50deg timing on light load so more is good if possible

if you send me your before and after maps

i could translate it into

hand controller steps

so you wouldnt need datalogit map switch

if you cant find 85

i wouldnt use it as a permentant measuer (annoying each time)

but as a stop gap, should be fine

hey Paul, I run the fuel daily and find i'm useing around 18 litres per 100 vs 14 on pulp, we had a e85 shortage for 2 weeks and had too use pulp and i just let the o2 sensor trim it, ran fine, couldnt be bothered changeing maps knowing e85 would be available next day or so but turned into 2 weeks bloody bloody servo!

thanx heaps for the offer paul, but my datalogit is only a couple of weeks off anyway :ermm:

i'll be watching the economy like a hawk and be reporting here asap :)

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
