Having fought in the "blood for oil" war, (exchange instructor US Navy and marines), ethanol is a beautiful thing. Non fossil fuel. Non middle East. E70/E85 good, E100 even better. Restoring a Skyline is Carbon friendly, E85 (from waste largely) even better. Appropriate tuning and fuel systems give more fun too. "80or200" why don't you put your pixsy life of the line in the name of "blood for oil".

Not enough outlets sell the stuff yet.... but in 12 months....

if it becomes common, im hoping my 575's will be enough for a safe street tune

probably will have to rebuild my engine with forged internals and replace a bunch of perishable rubber

appreciate the sentiment, i like less emissions and more horsepower, thing that is concerning is the amount of energy/material required to produce the e85 at the quality we need it

i just want it to get more common, aka at least 1 bowser per petrol station (like LPG had back in the day)

its all you need (as well as a certified 85% ethanol content for cars that dont have ethanol content sensors)

Hey pal I think your being a tosser, if you had read any threads related to E85 on SAU you would realise I'm one of the biggest champion's for the fuel, I love the stuff!

That comment was a dig at the person who started a new thread for a topic that has plenty of open one's and a shit stir to the guys who have already had there car's tuned by me to run E85!!!

regardless I like your passion to the subject.

what sort of fuel ecconomy are you guys running e85 getting?

lowest i've gotten in my GTR on PULP is 14L/100kms

but when pushing it a bit every now and again it'll get up around the 16-18L/100kms

I cant give you a number mate, I dont use mine as a daily, at a guess i'd say add 20-30% and you be close, I guestimated mine is drinking around 6L/min at full boost, just on that point I think most poeple are running out of flow from just one pump, upping the pressure only reduces flow, 1 044 only flows 5L/min at best, then add some hefty rail pressure and it might manage 4L/min, I'm thinking just throwing huge injectors at the problem wont fix the issue's people are having.

Yes I was having a toss!, LOL but am building my car for e85, as a complete package. There are reasons like what is the logic of middle east oil now, for less performance etc etc.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
