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 .

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
