not a fan :(

hmmm why my name and sig? If your the one that wants the car to be able to drive

the person that ownes it is only selling it

dont know.. so they can send you an EPA letter? :P

scotty-

fkn kesha. shes sick

...

Sounds like my ticket into ATO licenced chemicals :blink:

Ive heard Isopropyl Alcohol is used to make drugs O_o

...

We use it for cleaning as it doesn't leave residue and evaporates quickly. It's also a skin disinfectant :sick:

oo i got a reply from Recochem

200Ltr drum of 100% denatured industrial ethanol = $437.25 + GST

Equates to about;

$6.60 per week (3Litrs/week)

$3.00 per week (3Litrs of dimineral water/week)

-------

$9.60 per week

Now is this worth the 30-40kw atw gain O_o

just wondering if you've accounted for the shelf life of ethanol, its reactivity to atmosphere (esp humidity from memory ethanol's eficiency decreases when left exposed to water vapour in air) and also expansion of such a large volume in your garage's ambient temperature.

no one thinks that far ahead, you learn from experience not from preventing it in the first place.

fair enough everyone likes different things. what music do you listen to?

i listen to everything, dance/trance house, rnb, retro, 80s

just not a fan of metal, classical or country

andre rieu

shits rad

hell yeh

yeah, i like justin bieber sometimes.. i have to be in the mood for it ya know

ummm just ghey

thats on a 60litre tank though

the evo only has like 47 i think and only about 40-42 is used when driving before the fuel light comes on

so works out cheaper if i do it :blink: haha

haha you would only need about 2ltrs of ethanol and 2ltrs of water for every tank of fuel.

You can also cheap out by using methylated spirits or methanol (which both are far cheaper than ethanol) and use tap water/rain water/britta filtered water

You will just need to check the nozzle from time to time to see if it hasnt built up with crap.

Good question, I know methanol absorbs moisture so its best to keep in an air tight container. I know methanol is fine being stored for long periods but havent researched into ethanol yet.

Contacted the chemical place for prices for methylated spirit and a 50/50 mix of water/meth

also pat....

$1500 = secondhand HKS2530 kit. Both Nick and I run it and get roughly 80kw boost in performance.

you just spent how much and get 30 - 40kw? and ongoing costs are how much?

yo question folks.....

how much power will an s15 make with basic bolt ons eg zorst, cooler, pod etc

cbf going on ns.com lol

Sif be happy with a few simple bolt-ons Chad :blink: Like Nick said, it's like 170rwkw tops.

Buy something pre-modified or with a forged rebuild. Save yourself money on all that shit.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
