So my new motors coming together and im seriously considering running a ~30/70 mix of e85 and pulp after having some troubles with bad batches of 98.

I know a lot of the performance shops sell it in 20L drums but im guessing they like to charge a fortune? i contacted filters elite last year and they were charing around $500-550 for a 200L drum of the csr stuff and racefuels.net is currently selling them for $550. Bascially for those of you running it, where do you get it from, how much is it and how do you go with storing drums for long periods? Would anyone be interested in group buys of 200L drums?

Thanks

Its still illegal to sell at the pump in WA and caltex have said that even if this changes they have no current plans to bring it over as it costs too much to transport. Basically they're not interested in old Wait Awhile

Oh really, I wasn't aware it is illegal. Do you know why? Seems stupid to me.

Hmmmm, interesting. I entered a raffle about 4 weeks ago to win a new Holden SS E85 Commodore. Hope I don't win now seen as u can't get fuel for it.

Those new cars using active fuel management can run on any blend of fuel, not just E85.

e85 doesnt past some old volatility test, all the other states have adjusted the law to suit but WA hasnt

Filters Elite sell the PowerPlus E85, PowerPlus seems to be the best E85 my race car. I'm told the 15% petrol in it is actually racefuel not normal pump 98.

I have been using it since the start of the 2010.

yer its mixxed with race fuel and is definately a good quality fuel. but even normal e85 is more than enough for what im after so does anyone know if theres anywhere selling normal stuff at a lower price that?

bump - any idea what this guy is on about here

(in the comments, not the actual video) ?

"I upgraded to apexi power fc and upgraded the fuel system to handle e85 and never had prob with detonation and enjoying the extra octane boost ! definitely the way 2 go at $1 a litre"

upon looking into his youtube profile, he appears to be GMASTR from this site.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
