well my faithful clutch finally started slipping... :(

after 2 years of 300rwkw and 5 years of 180rwkw, hundreds of launches and thousands of kicks, the mystery box that came over on the boat will finally get opened...

hopefully i will get it sorted before DECA :down:

It had the GTR nismo number on the clutch plate, bit better than the run of the mill rb25 item they supply in the normal rb25 kits.

I havent read this whole thread, to much for me whilst i am at work, but i can announce that Caltex will be making E85 to fuel Holdens new Commonwhore and we aim to have 100 servos selling it in the next 12 months.

!!!!! AWESOME !!!!!!

Possibly a silly question for me to ask, but I have no idea...something tells me the answer is no...

Can you tune a rotary to run E85? I don't know how much advanced timing you could add lol..

Thanks, back on topic! I will definitely join the bandwagon when this goes ahead, should be getting better money by then to afford real mods too :P

any ideas where caltex will be getting their e85 from?

i.e. is it manildra or csr?

i have a full tune for both fuels sitting here anyway... but the difference is enough that you cant go swapping all over the place

my guess is that its gonna be manildra as i'm fairly sure that united have an exclusive deal on the CSR stuff, which suits me to a tee as the manildra seems to be better anyway :P

also might add, the the new clutch went in @ 23:30 Thursday and was on the track @ DECA on Saturday... (got 500k's driving on it to bed it... inc 100km stop start traffic)

went for an exedy "HHHDBC... and am very happy with it...

its very livable on the street, with a nice pedal feel for the power its made for and launching/shifting is a dream

it was my first track day with e85 and it was an absolute blast!

the car was SUPER responsive and you can really feel the difference over PULP :P

:D totally getting on this!

who do you work for ido09s?

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
