You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I had the chance to put BioFuel lines in my car today with the engine out, opted not too because you're right, it's not needed!!

Not gonna lie, it looks like my first car hnnngg..

I don't know why ethanol is seen as any more corrosive than petrol.

Is it, Alvin?

Either way, 90s Skyline lines can take it and most fuel injected fuel lines should be able to, unless they are crumbling away.

Remember the Brazilians have been using this shit for decades in the same or lesser cars and would probably laugh at the superstitions floating about here.

A mate of mine has a few petrol stations and even he thought the stuff was evil for whatever reason, til I showed him my dyno graph before and after! Now wants to run in his race cars :)

lets go halfies, slam it on its guts, with a fat as f**k dose, just cruise around and flutter bitches.

That this thing is advertised for the same price my GTR was, is disgraceful.

Did a proposal for a biodiesel start-up for a business owner during uni. End result was that rubber hoses beyond 1975~ can handle ethanol. (I vaguely remember that natural rubber would degrade in ethanol) Only watch out was that ethanol cleans your fuel system so best to change fuel filter after a couple of tanks to prevent any blockages.

However this was in regards to switching from dirty diesel to biodiesel in trucks so shouldn't be an issue from ULP to e85

Easy way to test is grab an off cut of fuel hose and leave it in a container of e85. Monitor for any changes etc.

Pulsar Speedo almost hit 240 at PI with 235kw. Sort of expected faster with bikes or do they really need more power or better gearing for 200+?

I do the same with 300kw Lee. You must be flying out of that last turn.

I'm at 2.00 flat now, still trying to crack the 1.50's. What was your last time?

What times were you doing leeroy?

Think you asked me when I first started my build thread... Was first track day and cooked clutch 2nd session. Think around 2:15-25 with a lot of lost time on the hairpin trying to shift down gears lol

Took me a while to figure out why the clutch went so quickly. Previous owner had some happy times before handing the car over. I wondered why the almost unused RSR's were a lot rougher on the outside than when I first inspected it....

Gtrjet... FWD bro. Foot the floor just after you start the last corner

The rest is a wank. Uncomplicated science that people - usually those who aren't running the stuff - make into a big ol' Poirot murder mystery.

f**kING SOOOOOOOOO MUCH THIS

Can't expect them to match the pulsar brah

lol

No

Big fuel were behind the rumors initially. It also didn't help that ANDRA (who 100% coincidentally are sponsored by race fuel companies) banned the stuff

That this thing is advertised for the same price my GTR was, is disgraceful.

To be fair it probably runs

Kill yourself.

the metal lines will be fine, its the rubber that may or may not swell up, its a litigation issue. most will be fine, but fuel lines are not expensive. so just change them?

Fuel lines in the engine bay are easy to change, fuel line in the tank (from pump to lid) is easy to change... Its the ones that go from the top of the tank to the hardlines on the body that are annoying. Partially accessible from the drivers rear wheel well however.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
