Is there any united e85 nearby ?

I asked that question and was quite rudely told to try google

To save the hassle for anyone else, no there is no E85 at singleton, it is BYO

I am taking 3 x 20l and a 10l Jerrys with me just in case as are a few others

From my previous visits I did not notice any E85 at the petrol stations.

They do though have a range of petrol stations including Shell, BP and Caltex.

Sorry to hear you will be missing this Sam.

Hopefully everything will be sorted out with the car quickly!

bleh , was thinking of coming but maybe not , don't like the ideal of carrying so much petrol around guess there's always next time !

There's no E85 in Singleton itself but i imagine there would be somewhere close to the south end of the putty people could fill up at? Im not sure of the distance to singleton and back and how far a full tank gets you but maybe it would be enough up and back?

Ok for the E85 people here is the best info I could find.

Singleton does not have E85. The best options so far are:

Richmond Caltex which has EFlex and is 17.2km (17 minutes) from our start point or

United North Richmond which has E85 and is 13.3km (17 minutes) from our start point

A full tank of E85 gets me around 420km of day to day use but we'll probably burn a little more if we give them a (legal) squirt every now and then.

The cruise total length is approx 177km which means theoretically it's possibly to do this cruise on a single tank of E85. If you don't want to run the risk then 1 Jerry can of fuel SHOULD suffice. You could even organise with someone who is bringing jerry cans with them to bring one along for you and pay them for it if they are willing.

*All of these figures are approximations based on googles assessment of the route without taking into account traffic, enthusiastic driving etc, and my experience of E85 on my R34 gtt, and I will not be held accountable for anyone that runs out of fuel by using the above information*

I hope that will help clear any confusion. I plan to just do the cruise and chuck some 98 in if I'm desperate as I have a full flex fuel tune :)

I believe there is United E85 at Cessnock. So I am planning on filling up there so I can make it back home again after the cruise.

I did a search at that end but it said there was no United at Cessnock but that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one just that it's not online

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
