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.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
