Braided E85 fuel lines in
I think the standard 23 year old ones did well to last 5 years on the stuff, but when it starts dripping fuel on your garage floor and you notice elevated levels of euphoria whilst driving it's probably time to do things properly


5 years? That's decent run considering the amount of propaganda associated with e85 when it first came on market.

Yeah well, as you can see those claims were exaggerated and likely released by PR of the anti-ethanol vested interest parties...

Truth is most cars made in the 90s can handle it for many years and it's more the switching back and forth between E85 and unleaded that cracks them over time. Fuel lines should be replaced in a 20-25 year old car anyway.

Same goes for E85 compatible fuel pumps. My 040s die from use before E85 kills them.

I'm safe then for next 5 years assuming I haven't switch from dinosaur and hippy repeatedly.

Already has Walboro cos the Nismo crapped by itself during tuning.

Took the bike up to winton raceway the other day, definitely a fun and challenging track on the bike.

The big left hand sweeper requires big testicles. Not sure what times we were doing as no timing on the day.

Heard NT is quite popular for Americans wanting to shoot things you can't shoot in America.
Maybe there's money to be made exporting aboriginals to america


They already have heaps of black people to shoot at and seem to do it regularly, are you sure they need aboriginals to shoot at too. I mean too much choice isn't going to make things easier.

I once chatted to a guy who worked on a commercial hunting ground (or whatever they are in NT). They burn a patch of plains a few days/weeks before a tour arrives, so that the fresh grass attracts the buffalo and makes them easier to find. "Hunting"

Shooting targets and skeet is great fun. But you really want a variety of guns. I don't know how the old codgers do it every week with the same rifle

I represented Melb uni in target shooting back when I was there so it's def not old codgers,

 

won a few trophies and really enjoyed it.

 

now I have more spare time hoping to get back into it.

I've only been shooting once (those unarmed, stationary paper targets didn't stand a chance)
Would do again /10


I shot some paper targets and a couple of pesky airborne clay disks. The disks are much harder to hit than the paper.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
