You need a retune to make use.

Just changing fuel will not realise the full benefits.

There is extra timing and fuel mappings that need changes to see the gains that are to be had.

That's what I thought, but is there any danger?

ie due to the ethanol content not flowing enough fuel on the PULP98 tune? Or is 10% ethanol not enough to drastically change the flow requirements?

Should be ok, I tried it a while back for its higher octane but I found little difference in knock protection between that and BP98. If you want benefits re-tune for E85, more pumps should become available very soon.

No worries. Yeah i plan on getting a netbook to plug into the Haltech and tuning a map for E85 so i can switch between the two as need arises... Just dropped $10k+ on the car though so perhaps i'll leave it a while.. ;)

Well not overtly major other than the "why?" ;)

Just use as is until you are tuned for it.

I just happened to be at the airport and needed some petty. United had E10/100 and as i'm not sure what their 98 is like i thought i'd chuck half a tank in.

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to break anything :blink:

i use E10/100 ron and i certainly rate it. its about 1.20 a L most days and ive tuned my car to suit the fuel. awesome torque gains from few degrees extra timing.

Would tuning for it be that easy - just bung in another couple degrees and run it up on the dyno to make sure it's still not near detonation?

after all the dollars you spent on a custom tune I would just run 98. I would only run the E10/100 ron fuel if you took it back for a quick retune.

I tried the E10/100 ron fuel a while ago and I got 5L/100km worse fuel economy for no gain in power (because I didnt get a tune). So I quickly changed back to 98.

Just wait for E85 and get a custom tune done then.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
