I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find United E85 locations in Sydney . I followed one link back to United and traced three servos ie Blaxland Rozelle and Drumoyne (Sp ?) . I did see mention of a fourth but don't know where that one is .

These three are pointless if you live on the southern outskirts of Sydney because they are too far away or awkward to et to .

Can someone tell me where the fourth United E85 source is and if theres any down Wollongong way , even thats a bit far really .

I was hoping to get a higher blend than EFlex E70 reasonably close because the higher content means less to make my blends up with .

Any help appreciated , cheers Adrian .

Bloody Dee Why , what've United got against us southerners ?

Well if you're going to make your own brews the higher the ethanol content the better because its less to add and less base stock to try to ignore .

Looks like winter grade EFlex will have to do , cheers A .

Buy it by the drums if you're mixing at home?

Are there any more United E85 service stations that have opened this year in Sydney ? Minto is still the closest and for whatever reason my 33 likes it better than EFlex . The other night I dumped a 1/4 tank of Minto85 on top of 3/4s of EFlex and my car seems to run smoother and is getting a few more MPG .

We've got EFlex nearby but no local United 85 .

Cheers A .

Well , people still talk about wheels in inches and boost in pounds but no I think in terms of litres per hundred km and I'd love to get 10/100 . MPG is just quicker to type .

When this tank full gets low I'll try 50 50 United 85 and Caltex E70 . Thinking about it I was running United 85 before the ViPec and tune so maybe my engine likes it better because it was getting better consumption round town then with the PFC and Z32 MAF . You'd think E70 having more "petrol" in it would get better mileage than E85 though the Americans suspect that what the oil co's put into some ethanol blends isn't real flash in the "petrol" component .

Cheers A .

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
