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.

    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
    • Just a reminder orange park was cool back in the day   and drifting the main circuit was even cooler   f**k I miss that car  
    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
