Yeah, Hallam isn't TOO bad, but just means it's outta my way if I had to fill up before heading up towards Pakky :(

Another reason for my relucatance to embrace the 85 is I've got a 044 mounted in-tank and heard they die pretty quickly when using E85. Anyone running E85 through their 044 in-tank?

If your interested we managed to get a local injector company to source the walbro 416lph e85 intank pump! Just under $200. Will definitely flow more than the 044

Tiny pump too.

+1 It looks like a nice pump, sealed electrical connections, massive sock. I may end up with one myself...

There is a united e85 pump in Frankston too apparently, and the Caltex ones on this site...

The 33 stays in Berwick most of the time but also keep it in Frankston occasionally too.

Only Uniteds I know of that stock around those two areas are Patto Lakes and Hallam :unsure:

davey st in frankston has it ,as does the new united at the baxter turn off next to KFC..

it seems e85 can be a little troublesome starting up on cold mornings, which we have alot of lately, but if its not your daily ride to work its probably not an issue...

I'll keep that option in mind. My tuner has done a few 044s and I've spoken to a couple of guys that have run 044s in tank and they all seem to be running fine so I'll roll the dice with the 044 in there now and if it fails, I'll look into the walbro :)

Did you need to upgrade fuel lines to be E85 compatible? My mechanics reckons I should but most of the guys running E85 are still using the stock lines.

Geeze, United need to update their website cos the Davey St one is only listed as stocking Premium 100. Sounds like E85 is the go for me then, as soon as I can figure out which top-feed injectors are gonna fit under the Plazmaman plenum lol

Nah, not a daily so just means I have to drive the double S in the mornings if I wanna go anywhere haha

Nah u shouldn't need to for a while I don't think quite a few are running it without issues

Yeah, I didn't think so either. Mechanic reckons $250-$300 to get the fuel lines sorted, which isn't a huge amount in the grand scheme of things but that's $250-$300 which can go towards new top-feed injectors and a re-tune hehe

Oh, also read you've joined the Garrett GTX club. Welcome haha :P

it looks standard again.

Yes officer. ;)

I wouldn't worry too much about the fuel lines, just save up for teflon braided later. If you need injectors let me know, I can get some good discounts. What length can you fit under the plenum?

The new Walbro 400lph pump is e85 specific and flows a stupid amount of fuel at high pressure (220lph at 86psi), the power wires are sealed and it should fit fine in the skyline tank. I will be recommending these for the ethanol guys now, should cost around $200 with local warranty.

Would you know the reason why they advise against cars under 500hp? I would've thought its up to the fuel reg?

Ps give me a call to discuss turbosmart

Yeah stock hard lines are fine, I would replace rubber hoses ( even Gates hose from repco is alcohol compatible I think its 20$ a meter and u need about 3 mtres tops..thats 60$ not 300$ :no:) and normal fuel filter buts that's all.. You don't NEED too but it can't hurt and doesn't cost much... Get some 1000cc injectors and your ready to roll

So you don't have too much fuel circulating and heating up when you don't need the flow. Anyone running ethanol needs the flow.

Scotty, the United Scoresby one is just past the east link on Ferntree Gully rd, on the left hand side (driving away from the city) - it's very close to Caribbean gardens.

EDIT: 14 Caltex E-Flex sites in Vic now

I need the one at San Remo to stock it for the PI track days, and a couple up the Hume so I can get to Sydney when I need to. Albury and Yass would do nicely thanks.

Someone mentioned they went to install the pumps at Eltham and found they were fiberglass tanks? I would have thought they would have to change the tank anyway, I guess they just put a liner in the steel ones.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
