I fill up at Calwell, and haven't had a problem. Only places I don't go are United, etc.

old but how come you dont trust United ?? they seem to offer the most consitent e85 so i would think the 100ron is good i put this stuff in today and my car felt good hopefully its not short lived.

I realise that one tank isn't enough to conclude that there's nothing wrong with it, but by the look of it a lot of people here are concluding it (among other fuels) are BAD based upon one tank.

One full tank should give a laymans experience of the fuel. A couple of tanks will give a clear indication of your engine being farked by it.

Point in fact.

Shell decided to put out a fuel for older vehicles that couldn't go unleaded. It farked my engine in my car of the time. In fact many cars were shagged although Shell did not have to pay for the farked engines but instead withdrew the fuel from sale after about 1-2 years.

True story. Not a friend of a friend of an uncles of mine. It happend to me :rant:

on the first and only tank full of this fuel too.

For pretty well any vehicle that conversation here will speak of, the ethanol will not have any negative impact on the fuel lines. People have been running e85 through their stock fuel lines for years with no problems.

Finished my tank today forgot to take down how much millage it does, but i noticed that the engine bay is a lot less hotter than it usually is. Running BP98 and i flogged it up monaro just to confirm this and yes its a lot cooler maybe i should measure the manifold temperature with 98RON and do the same with 100RON.

I usually fill up at the Kambah Caltex - across the road from the Kambah Village. Never had a problem, they fill up their tanks at night so avoid filling up when the tanker is nearby.

Otherwise the fuel there seems to be consistent, it was all re-done not long ago too so new pumps/hoses etc, has to be better than old gear.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
