Lee (RB25DETS2) had the same problem with his hks actuator, we tried everything, more gain, more pre-load, just spiked more and more so we ditched it for a 18 psi and it holds perfect now.

Top stuff!

Glad to see more people on E85! Best decision i ever made switching over.

But i have to agree the fuel economy is terrible, at WOP i swear i can see the fuel needle move lol

Totally damn frustrating. Car is ready to go back on the rollers but this fuel still isnt available to us up here and i cant get an answer as to when it will be.

This is Ipswich for gawd sake. Home of willowbank and qld raceway and more tuff streeters than you can poke a stick at.

The market is right here right now.

yeah this e85 is GOOOD stuff...

and the best part is that i have the power of a 3037 with the response of a 2835.... cake and eat it and so on

Sometimes i wish i'd bought the 3037 instead of the GT-RS.

But then i go for a quick spin and forget about it pretty quickly. :wacko:

You sure?

I've never heard of anyone making 280rwkw with a GT-RS on a 25...I thought it was past its capability, but hey, I'd love to be wrong :P

Blitz SBC Spec-R, 18psi but tailing off to about 16 (trying to find the problem)

Don't say that just yet, im gonna damn bloody try once this head gets here :wacko:

And he was/is the only one... i don't believe it was right personally as no-one has come close since

Yeah i swear he must have had a hidden shot of gas somewhere :)

Still, im keen to push mine as far as it can go. Should have every single thing done to it to help it make peak power other than a rebuild. Warlord's was probably the most a GT-RS has been pushed.

Just got word that theres a hipo workshop in brisbane selling it in 205 litre drums.

Only wants 460 dollars a drum.

lol

what a f*kstain! Who is it?

Noel can you use your persuasion powers, maybe talk to Neuman Petroleum at the next time attack?

Joe added a link to your thread in my Facebook group :)

Well I had for ages favoured the idea of going GT-RS but eventually went the GT3076R, interesting difference here is I have never looked back :)

Trust me I am trying Dano. I want this stuff bad.

Hmm I have had it for >2 years but if I remember rightly around NZ$2k at the time I purchased it. Runs an internal wastegate and is on stock manifold so all RELATIVELY straight forward/cheap to set up.

good result, but I would love to see a graph of what difference it made at the same boost. I know you're saying you couldn't run more boost with the 98RON, but it was only running 14psi at the top end with a spike to 21psi as it ramped onto boost. I would just want to see what gain the fuel itself made. same boost, but with more timing etc it can apparently take. as it is a lot of that gain would be from more boost (more air + more fuel = more power of course), and i'm a bit surprised that the most you could run was 14psi on 98RON.

anyway, enjoy the new power and sweet smelling, cheap fuel. :)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
