by CSR, are we talking about what is available at United outlets?

CSR (Sucrogen) E85 is NOT available at any pump in Australia. Sucrogen E85 is the true "Greenstuff" V8 Supercar fuel and is green in colour with 108 octane rating. No other E85 has a higher octane rating and all other brands of E85 that is available at various pumps does not have the high octane rating - other E85 fuel is not green in colour either (this is how you distinguish the true Sucrogen E85).

Sucrogen E85 also contains the corrosion inhibitor additive DC1-11, which means that the fuel will not corrode any motor parts! This E85 is only available in South-East Qld through Mercury Motorsport or through another mob in Toowoomba (not sure of the place's name though). V8 Supercar teams such as Dick Johnson racing do stock the fuel, however do not sell it to the public...

It is also available from marinelli motorsports in ipswich. But at 2/3 bucks a litre yall can shove it where the sun dont shine.

The stuff that will be available from the pumps will service all but the most hardcore needs as already experienced by those fortunate enough to have access to it in sydney and melbourne.

then my post still stands then (to an extent) the E85 that CSR supplies to United isn't as high a rating as Manildra's.

but i was not aware of ANOTHER csr E85 though - interesting - is it cut with 98 or 91?

My information came directly from John Thompson, owner of Fuel Control in Melbourne, who actually mixes the Sucrogen E85 and distributes it. He didn't mention another distributor located in Ipswich, just the Toowoomba one :down:

OK, Marinelli's DO NOT SELL Sucrogen E85.

Go to Fuel Control's website www.fuelcontrol.com.au this will tell you all the info you need about the true E85...

:P

Interesting, I'll actually go back to marinelli's next week and see what they have to say. :)

CSR ain't that high. Manildra is higher, but it's only 106-107

Manildra is higher Octane, MATE YOU SPEAK CRAP ! The Manildra product is NEVER THE SAME OCTANE OR RON.

Also other sellers mix small poor quality batches of so called Race E85.

ONLY SUCROGEN/CSR PREMIUM E85 HAS A 108 OCTANE - How do I now this ? I blend and make the fuel.

FACT - NO OTHER E85 COMES CLOSE TO THE PERFORMANCE OR PROTECTION OF SUCROGEN E85.

SUCROGEN E85 108 Octane is the only tested and race proven E85 in the Australian market place.

Lets clear up one major point - E85 PUMP FUEL WILL NEVER BE HIGHER THAN 99 Octane, IT WILL NEVER GIVE THE SAME PERFORMANCE AS A 108 OCTANE E85 SUCH AS SUCROGEN.

FUEL CONTROL HAS DISTRIBUTORS IN EACH STATE - MERCURY MOTORSPORT, HP HEAVEN, HERROD MOTORSPORT, RED R RACING, BRINKS PERFORMANCE, RPW PERTH.

These guys build the best performance vehicles in Australia, so it makes sense they use the best, TARGA TASMANIA will ONLY USE SUCROGEN E85 AS A CONTROL FUEL.

So what I am I trying to say, SUCROGEN E85 / 108 OCTANE IS THE BEST. IS THE ONLY E85 THAT WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED,

Fuel talk aside.. How does the GTR feel to drive on the streets - only if you do of course :)

Sounds fantastic, my dad even loved the dyno clip. I would love to know how drivable a 1000whp GTR is! Major driveline mods??

They make E85 - IT HAS NO CORROSION INHIBITORS AND IS MADE FROM A VERY LOW QUALITY ETHANOL.

You will never get the same Octane result so that stuffs your tuning. Been there done that.

You better race down to sydney and melbourne and tell all those guys that are using that really low quality shit that all their horsepower gains are just fairy stories.

No one is saying your fuel isnt better quality but who the hell is going to pay 2buckfiddy a litre to fuel their daily.

given that it returns about 30% poorer fuel economy makes it an even worse proposition.

Your fuel has a place, no doubt about it but dont shit can the other guys product when it has proven results on the board.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
