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.

    • 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.
