yeah the thizzle figure is very questionable, i would take it with a grain of salt

its the only 300kw GT-RS ive ever seen so wouldnt even use it as comparison

it must have some other mods we dont know about, ie diff gears, different gear ratios, different dyno settings

could be a million things, wouldnt worry too much

most GT-RS's make 260kw and cap there

but the main benefit of the GT-RS is the average power and response

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

a few motors have been pulled down with no ill effects. e85 also loses power before the knock becomes serious so the tune isn't as much of a knife edge as pulp.

people have been claiming a ron figure of 108-110

I like that RON. Sounds very promising. The only thing i have heard is the 10% ethanol stuff can foul up plugs on some cars. I personally never had any issues running boost98 from united in the vl or the 32. Both cars just chewed through it alot quicker.

well the tank is at 1/4 full (my standard refill point) and i have done 220k's, nomally i get 320...

so in essence.... if the price of e85 2/3 of the price of 98 then you are getting a free power increase..... and if its below 2/3 you are actually SAVING $$$

good result, how much timing did you settle on at full load and what afr?

sorry... forgot bout this one

timing 39deg (decided to look @ hand cont... lol)

afr's cant remember the exact figure

my filter flowed fine after 6 months use, I think each car will be different, mates blocked up after only a few months, pull it off and blow thru it, compare to a new one!

I have been very keen to jump onto the e85 band wagon, and have followed this and another similar thread. My big question or thing I would be interested to see...is both tunes one on 98 and other on e85 with same power outputs.

It is proven that e85 will make more power, but how about the engine using less effort to make the same power? Less boost, less stress on components, maybe lower intake temps? then we can compare effects on engine life, fuel efficiency, engine/oil temps and see the other benefits just not more power from e85.

If you can use more timing and less boost to get the same power would you be using less fuel?

Paul.

i doubt it as my car was lean as f**k when it was first started and needed a decent whacck of fuel to compensate... also with the better response its way more tempting to put your foot down :P

just to let all you victorians know...

i rang united head orifice and asked where e85 was stocked and was told hoppers crossing AND buleen... they even gave me the bulleen address!

i went to buleen united today and the is NO e85 pump! (i asked the guy WTF and the only 2 english words he could say were "united" and "boost" lol)

so in vic atm it is ONLY hoppers crossing!

they did say there is talk of a bigger rollout soon, but not in the next few weeks

First post, so I thought it should make a contribution to the group.

Just been looking on the United Petroleum web page for locations. Noticed that the Kingsway (South Melbourne) United site is listed as stocking E85 fuel. This site is at 151 Kingsway, South Melbourne, 3205 and is listed as being open 24 hours a day - for all the night owls.

Here is a link:

ah i didnt know that the kings way one would have E85

thats a big difference, as hoppers is homo-spec

yeah hamish the tune you have is locked, when the PFC is locked, you get 0's everywhere

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
