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

Best decision i made was to get the 3037 .68 rear, making 337 on E85. Still responsive too....

How much was it?

I brought mine off a fellow member and the turbo had 5000k's on it, from memory it ended up costing me $3200 for the complete kit. Not too bad considering what they are selling for now.

Good price that.

Bought my gtrs for $2750 2 years ago.

anyone got a set of indy blu's i can throw in and use the e85? ps. anyone used 100% meths? (chemcal factory next to my work can get it to me for $1.20/L

i was going to go methanol on my sr20, problem being the maintenance required. Any decent power WILL require 2 sets of indy blues per cylinder. Most people in the know say big electric pumps are OK, but mechanical driven is much better. But then they are a flamin mongrel to start with mech pump and you need to gravity feed the fuel in (thats why they run small tanks in the engine bay) then you need a special mech pump reg (not big deal). but then you need to drain you oil after each event you run at (mostly) run normal petrol through fuel system and run the engine or you will corrode the bores etc. "usually" dont run filters either as they can trap meth and turn to jelly.

Give it a try, might need 2 rows of indy blue's to make real big numbers!!!!!

Brazil's been useing 100% for years, would need high ambient temps to get he stuff to fire tho, even 85 gets hard when temps get below 10 degrees

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. :glare:

sorry... on 1 bar the e85 made just on 300 by memory...

i cut the boost on each fuel @ the point where it was starting to die off... (dont wanna run 2 pounds more to get 5rwkw gain)

price not my main concern, it's all about the RON man, oh and the huge torque that 24 psi offers, love it!

I can agree to this.

It definitely doesn't have that typical weak RB25 ramp up sound when on the dyno. 180or200's car had me thinking it was an rb30 the way its mid range picked up instantly and roared as the loud pedal was opened up.

Thizzle made 301 with a GT-RS and stock motor 3 or so years ago.

There is hope!

I'm with Ash; sounds like he was on a happy dyno or the settings were incorrect. Did he ever back the power claim on an independent dyno?

I made 274rwkw with cams and head porting. This figure was also reproduced on two other dynos, so i dare say it was accurate.

With E85 i could see the GTRS making 280+rwkw on a std motor.

On the DVD it made like 298, 297, 301 or something along those lines.

But on the same dyno.

To back up the claimed figure it needs to be run on another dyno.

Like mine made 274@EAS, 268@Racingline (SAU VIC Dyno day) and 272@Autosalon. Thus i know my mechanic's dyno is relatively accurate.

Nice results :devil:

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%?

Has this question been addressed? Also, what is the equivalent PULP RON (if such a comparison can be made)?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
