All.

I've been lucky enough to receive an invite to a select event on behalf of Skylines Australia forum/site, and the SAU-Vic club as a whole.

This entails a Tour of the F1 Paddock, Ferrari Garage and the Track Lab at the F1 GP this weekend

As a part of this there will be a Q&A session with Shell Technical Engineers & Track Lab team members surrounding Shell, fuels and so on.

If anyone has something they would like me to specifically ask about then post up here and I will endeavour to attain an answer for you :(

Im permitted to take photo's and so on, im not sure what exactly that might be yet however, hopefully some cool gear.

Post up the tech questions!

This is posted in Forced Induction also:

Thanks to Endelmen Public Relations (Con Frantzeskos) & Shell for such an opportunity.

Perhaps this is my own "Red Jacket" of sorts? :(

Cheers

Ash

do shell plan in introducing ethanol based products for the domestic market?

given the trends towards green fuels and better emmissionions & competitors such as BP already have 95ron with Ethanol (E15)

alot of shell's have E10...

tell them to bring back v-racing 100 octane and make it more available, actually tell them to make it 105 octane :P

+1.

They only need to sell it at one station in the city eg.,Nth or Sth Melb one. All of us have to go to the city at least once per tank.

I already know some of that (from last years meeting), as should a few others

V-Power Racing was LESS than 1% of sales or production... vs the cost it wasn't viable or something close to that marker.

E85 (last year) they were not looking into then... however its now 6 months later - so i will certainly ask that one!

<br />yeah, also interested to find out when shell is going to add E85 to their lineup. There is only 1 station with E85 near me and its United Bulleen, so untill there is more, its not very convenient.<br />

not even.... buleen doesn't have e85.... united are just ghey and disorganised

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
