i need a pfc i only get 300 to a tank if im lucky an thats conservative driving... i get better fuel economy on the freeway though

Yeah standard ECUs suck balls for economy.

Id be intersted to see this goes on a built engine...say one already running 21-22psi.

I wouldnt want to push anymore boost into it but maybe some more timing if E85 permits. It reckon it would be cool to have a E85 tune to the magic 400 just for dyno nights and things like that...

too much to commute to Hoppers just to get fuel??

with chopping and changing, do you have to wait until you're as close to empty as possible, and then fill up with 98 before switching tunes?

that would make sense....

just roll into the servo on the smell of an empty rag and refill....

or just take jerry's and do it at home.... remove the return line from the injector rail and let car idle... doesn't take long with a good pump.

well after a month on e85 i'm back on pulp for a little while... for the great ocean road cruise at least

and i'm not really loving it ;)

the car has a massively noticeable power loss, but it does start and idle way better :P

didn't check the fuel filter as everything is running 100%

but its not all bad news.... i did put in a new diff so that i could enjoy my lower power a bit more... and i'm happy as!

Real shame this stuff isnt as common as pulp.

I dont know about you guys, but there's NO WAY im having a jerry can in the back during spirited/mountain drives (on current tune, low boost, i need a fill of 98 just to get back to Sydney after a 45min run - mind you there's a lot of WOT involved). On a car that not exactly fuel friendly to begin with (370kw atw), its just not a viable option until the fuel is stocked at a lot more servos.

fair enough. i too am contemplating the practicalities of it all with Hoppers being the only place.

Trent @ Status said he could give me both maps on a USB drive and i can chop and change when i want, but it does seem to require a bit of forward planning, especially with long trips like Apollo bay.

If you still had E85 in there, you'd almost have to have a little bit of 98 with you... wait to you're practically empty, put in the 98 can, switch tunes and use the 10 or so litres of 98 to get you to a petrol station.

how much E85 do you get in one go? i take it you just don't head over the bridge just to fill up and not take any extra

nah mate its easy..... i go to hoppers and get a full tank & 2 jerry's - so that's 100l / $100

i just remove the return line from the rail (1 phillips head screw) and let the petrol flow into another jerry.... takes about 2 mins to drain the last 1/4 of a tank.

then fill tank and jerrys, turn on pfc, load map, and drive away happy...

alternately you could wait till the light comes on but i prefer to have 100% correct fuel in my tank :P

don't think this is Australia wide as United website has dropped the SA locations but Vic and NSW remain

http://www.unitedpetroleum.com.au/distribu...5-locations.asp

maybe it's just banned in SA? hope so.... (no offence :banana:, we can run a smuggling ring across the border :banana:)

but seems a bit strange with the new E85 commonwhore coming out, Holden was saying the fuel will be widely available... :banana:

    • 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.
