I'm looking into the possibility of getting some 20L drums of Toluene.

Would anyone be interested at between $35-40 for them?

I'll have a definate answer on this after Christmas, and just wanted to gauge the number of people interested?

Knore: It's used as a fuel additive. It is not a complete fuel. It is usually mixed as a percentage with 98 octane fuel.

Eg: 40L BP Ultimate plus 4L Toluene is a 10% mix.

It allows you to run slightly higher boost or slightly advanced timing without pinging...

I've only ever used it as a safeguard, rather than a power producing thing. And only at the track... No really! :P

It is also commonly refered to as Methyl Benzene, and it is primarily used as a paint stripper...

Google "toluene octane" and check the results... Also do a search on here. Pretty sure it's been discussed before...

It looks like it'll be $38 for a 20L, how does that sound to you guys?

Hey Dan, it is Darrin here who you bought your turbo off for your car.

My Dad buys 200L of methanol each month from a company called AFCC in Brisbane near the gatetway bridge south side ph33894844

They sell tolene for $53 +gst for 20L (not cheap) but they also sell it by the 200L drum for $277 +gst which is $304.70

Divide that by 10 equals $30.47 for 20L, but you will need your own 20L drums to split it up.

I can get hold of the pump from my dad to decanter into 20L drums

Let me know if your keen.

I would be interested in 20L myself.

Jay, this can be an ongoing thing depending on demand, I can't see any reason why I couldn't keep up with everyones requirements.

My contact was away today, but I'll have a chat with him tomorrow and get some dates happening.

VIPERGTSR01 - as for mixes it all depends on what octane you're chasing...some people go for 30% mixes...other running serious boost put in straight toluene.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
