Hanaldo's R34 Gt(T) Skyline Build

Definitely more increases to be seen once you full run E85. I remember when i changed my car over. It went from 350rwhp on 24psi to 450rwhp on 21psi. 100rwhp gain with 3psi LESS boost!!

As you said its a total different car to drive with the other fuel in it...

[Hanaldo]

Yes, but I doubt my car is going to deliver those same gains. My car loses power with more boost the knock resistance of the fuel is just about at its fullest where I am, so it's only small benefits from here. I'm sure it will nudge over 400rwhp, but not expecting heaps more.

Seriously magical fuel though!

[SCR48]

320hp on pump98 to 400hp + on E85 I'd still classify as really big gain Martin!!

[Hanaldo]

Haha Yeh yeh, that is very impressive! I meant between the current E53 and E85. I doubt I'll see much more from here.

[SCR48]

I reckon another 10-15hp...

. . Probably from united? Is this e85

91 + ethanol or 98 + ethanol ?

[B-rice]

I doubt he would use 91

[B-rice]

I think you mean the 100octance from united with 98 and 15% ethanol he is using pure E53

I believe United E85 is generally 91 octane unleaded blended with ethanol.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. The extra octane isn't necessary, and the lower octane will actually help the mixture to ignite. We are already talking about a 108 octane fuel here, so the octane rating of the petrol blended with it is inconsequential.

^^ thankyou, that was the sort of answer I was chasing, the more im reading about this fuel the more im likely to change over to it

[StevenCJR31]

Wasnst suggesting he was

No worries mate. It really is amazing stuff. Can't wait to finish off this tank and change my fuel filter, see what crud has been cleaned out

Also, it makes the exhaust fumes smell delicious!

Nothing beats it...

Don't think I ever posted these photos:

Got over the old white leather trims that I put in when I first got the car. Realised it looked horrible, so got some new black ones. Retrimmed the steering wheel while I was at it.

Got some new bits and pieces for my GoPro, so had a bit of a play:

Aaaaand this is a compilation of clips I've taken since the tune:

Steering wheel looks good, you do it yourself? The leather on mine is terrible, been meaning to look into getting it fixed...

[Hanaldo]

Yeh did it myself. Wasn't too hard to do, and makes the whole interior look newer! Feels nice too

Looking forward to hearing this thing screaming down the straight

Me too you entering again this year??
