You can look on the united site and select united servo nearby where the cruise goes and you can also view what fuel they sell at the Bowser E85,p100 etc,

As for the half way meet point is this the twin Caltexs on F3 freeway?

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

LOL!! Tell me about it!!! hahah have contacted Toshi - maybe can get him to help me look at it and give me a quote...

I am up for this... From the Newcastle end.

meeting at Halfway point or is there a Meet up for the Newcastle people before hand?

Looks like livewire is trying to organise something, check out the Newcastle spotted thread, I hit him up about it today.

Which mean we leave there and head into 16km of the some of best road NSW has to offer :D

Yep now that is what I like to hear lol.

And thanks James, your name has been added.

As Jackson has mentioned I believe livewire has been organising a Newcastle Meet :)

Ok, so anyone from Newcastle/Central Coast/Hunter Valley that would like to meet up with myself and Global_warmer in Singleton before heading down the Putty Road, here's the plan...

Meetup 9-9:30 at Sundial on Ryan Avenue, Singleton

Leave around 9:45/10 (allowing 1.5 hours to Putty meetup)

I have attached a "dodgy looking' map lol. If you have gps, type in Ryan Avenue, Singleton 2330, otherwise i've highlighted directions from coming into town. Very easy to find. McDonalds is on the New England highway (changes name to Maitland Rd when coming into town) so you will run into it. There are two sets of traffic lights at the intersections outside Mcdonalds/Hungry Jacks/pizza hut etc, take a left at the second set of lights (york st) an follow it till the end, left again and then next right opposite the united servo and you'll see a giant sundial at the end of the street. We'll be waiting at the sundial :-)

Is it 177km there and back or each way, cause each way means I'm out, I can't carry that much fuel :( lol

170km per tank is about the best I have done, cause I love boost :yes:

There is United E85 is Cessnock which really isnt that far to travel if you are keen...

Fark, that's worse then mine ( 170km from 42-45ltrs @+/-$1.24p/l ), and I'm on E85 pumping 22psi :(

I run 28psi and dont have the fuel consumption issues you guys have? Well when i was street driving anyhow... Would get at least 350km to a tank including plenty of full throttle!

On track its shithouse but that is mostly full throttle :P

I'll just bring a few Jerries, should be plenty, it will work out to just over two tank fulls

What can I say, my 34 has a drinking problem lol :D

Just a suggestion for those running e85 who are concerned about fuel consumption... Rather than being turned off coming or not wanting to carry spare fuel, maybe come up the putty road with a full tank but head back via Cessnock to the F3?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
