Very cool - That fuel almost sounds like V-Power Racing... B/W 100-102 RON....

It is very interesting just how much a part fuel plays in a race... It's not something you really think about other than the fact that they have to add fuel a few times during a race.

Good work on the review, and you lucky bugger on getting the invite! :(

Cheers,

matt

ash... i give to thee a :( emoticon

nice review.... pity about the e85 answer tho... well as long as united stock it i'm happy.... just hope they will put it into kingsway later on this year when they are doing bowser renovations.... looking like it might be the case, as the web site says its already there, but head office wont tell me 100%

weird about the 100ron figure.... i dont really follow f1 so i just assumed they'd be on 110ron type stuff

BP have 100ron pump fuel in the UK. Same stuff used in F1 and WRC, it is made in small batches but can be bought on the forecourt. No ethanol and it's crystal clear showing how pure it is. I want that stuff HERE

Very interesting people to be around to be sure .

No time just ATM but things like that firey crash that nearly kill Nicky Lauda (sp ?) would be no doubt be in the FIA's mind .

I'm also very cynical about Oil Co's and their control of pump fuels retail pricing .

Imagine them scrabbling to control a market with 85% content that they don't supply , I don't believe for one minute that Australia can't produce lots more ethanol but the taxing and political correctness has to suit political aspirations at the right time .

As for the F1 cars , not sure how they'd go trying to run the distance with limited fuel tank capacity and pit stops and a fuel with less heat potential like E85 .

Probly need a "20 20" laps BS thing like cricket degraded into .

Shells caustically , cheers A .

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
