Couldn't take the price rise, so I got it retuned back onto 98. Just got it back from Jez, still got a sweet 218rwkw. Will be nice having more than one pump to fill up from :)

What a tight kent! Pay $600 - $800 for a tune to lose power and gain what maybe 3 or 4L/100km? Seems like false ecomomy to me. The money spent on tuning back to 98 would still outweigh your fuel bill ;)

Eflex is still 20c cheaper than E10. I dont care how much it costs i will never use petrol again!

Sell your skyline and buy a VW polo 1.2L of turbo fury and you will get 6-7L/100km in Sydney traffic..

I was gonna have a Flex Tune done on the Stagea, but that would have meant the expense involved in buying a new computer (it's been running a PFC for about 7 years now) and having it tuned to suit, which was more than it was worth seeing as it's hard to get E-flex fuel on any of the roads that I regularly travel. The Caltex at Girraween would have been closest (and just around the corner from Unigroup too), but I rarely drive through there.

It was a combination of things. Not just the price rise but the being able to just go and fill up where ever I happen to be at the time, makes my life a lot easier, especially since the E85 pump I was using is not as close to me as it used to be since I moved. Jez mentioned that Nistune can do a flex fuel setup now, and that would have been cool, but with needing a timing belt done as well, didn't have the coin, maybe something for the future since he has both my tunes available for me now.

Also, e-flex might be 20c cheaper than E10, but at the United it's more expensive than E10, it costs the same as their regular unleaded.

@pol1on1 the retune was $880, included draining the fuel tank of the E85 that was left over after the drive up there.

    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
    • LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
