Dat 2 minute swapover at the servo with the dinosaur PowerFC

[blah_blah]

Was curious mainly cause my engine exploded, and I know yours kind of did, and kind of went back, and kind of has issues, so I have a vested interest in your car also working right

Getting flex fuel right though, man... requires mastery and a lot of patience, or a f**k load of money paying a tuner to have a lot of time to spend on it

Hrmm my engine has been fine since the original build, just the e85/clogged injector sorta screwed me over

Flex fuel who has done it with Trent? Pretty sure he does tunes in his sleep. the quote from Trent wasn't much and i think he'd only take a day or two.

Oh well probably still stick with racepace in the future though

[Mohsen]

cant wait to go really slow around a track.

Are 33R seats a straight bolt in to GTS-T using the 33R rails?

wtf your asking a skyline question....where the f**k you think you are.

Housemate did it with Nistune with Trent - Very very good on his SR

I did mine there but my 98 tune was more of a "emergency use only with a bit of spirited driving", but even then it needed a lot of touch ups, hence the whole "it takes a shitload of time to get right"

Cars will run well on non-optimal settings though, Birds saying dat power FC swap after half/3/4 of a tank of E85? makes me really uncomfortable but I'm a stickler for that kind of thing as well, I break all the things

[Mohsen]

still doing track day?

yes

That'll be cheap....

of course. but the thing is, i got shafted, the bloke that put my motor in, who i paid to check every seal etc obviously didnt check shit so half the f**king motors leaking

I would assume Chris would put in a safe tune so Mohomo can do the track day

looking forward to see what times he can do

285rwkw safe tune. thing f**king hammers

still think should have run a TD42....

ROLL COAL

Yes

Then I say hello GTR drivers seat while the R is getting assembled...this should help with helmet clearance when I track the GTS-T! Assuming I don't fly into the back seat...

Any idea how much lower it sits?

Flex has one advantage over non, so weigh it up against that I guess: Put in any mix of fuel and thrash it on that mix.

Every other situation can be accounted for and overcome with the two map switch, using a small amount of forward planning. Going away for a trip? Convert to petrol 1-2 weeks before it when your tank gets low enough or simply take laptop with you and when the tank gets low enough (10 litres or less) fill up at the next servo. You can even give it shit with this mix if you have a safe/rich 98 tune.

That's the only time I convert back from E85. Every other time you'll want to run it fulltime anyway for dem power benefits and United servos with E85 are everywhere now.

Yes, but you're assuming on the mix. An empty tank is never a fully empty tank. I've run a tank of 98 down to the light and filled with e85 and had something like 58% Ethanol content.

I've also at times forgotten to plug back in my E85 sensor, and cruised down the street with a 19:1 AFR with E85 in the tank. The car however, felt fine. Me being me, I would go through at least 2 tanks of whatever fuel before I even decide to get onto any boost after 'swapping'. But my car will probably break down between the two tanks anyway

Gear knob felt noticeably higher afterwards, but I could still see over the steering wheel lol

Trent was the first I know of to do flex fuel (chinny's 34R) and has done a bunch since.

Decent amount. Much better driving position for tall people... you know... from the back floor...

[Leroy Peterson]

so only one of the VIP guys got into 100MM (Nick of course, being the only one bagged and able to sit on the ground currently), which is good as it saves me forking out $60-70 for a show'n'shine.

also means i have to go all out dress-up at Sandown on saturday. not enough time to get a decorative exhaust tip or mount side skirts. oh well.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I would say NOT getting in to 100mm is more of a compliment than getting in

I can't blame you for doing that with your car and your luck

But honestly, either I have the worlds safest E85 tune (I am only 20rwkw gain in the top end and 40rwkw in the mid), or a healthy ass engine setup. When I switch back to E85 it's usually 50+ litres that goes in and whilst I don't redline the thing on that tank, it definitely gets boosted to full boost no problems. This is why I'd never flex fuel my current car. It would take some seriously diminished E85 locations or massive pride rises in it for me to flex.

You're never going to have an issue with fuel while running a safe, static E85 tune, because all it will do is run richer by way of the extra fuelling and richer mix.

Ah fair enough, yeah mine is just little touch ups here and there kinda

He said my 98 tune was perfectly fine for the street thrashing, but for track e85 is optimal
