It would be harder to drop the tank of fuel, then plug in a cable and hit "load tune".

The difference is, the change you are saying you'd do only removes the easiest part of the whole operation...

I'm saying if you spend some time wiring in an ethanol content sensor then it works like OEM and you don't have to plan your life around sourcing E85 of the right concentration or worrying about flashing between tunes. I would agree with the logic of "it's cheaper to pay upfront for flex fuel vs potentially an engine rebuild", especially on something like an M2.

Yeah, this is what quick jacks are for, for those that have the luxury of needing to garage shuffle.

I just drive my car every day. My Skyline is my one and only daily.

This is a good point but I could never get my Skyline insured with comprehensive coverage if it was a daily.

Makes it SOOOOOOOO easy, no wiring, no cutting/chopping, no need to even try hard.

 

Putting a flex sensor into a shitbox Skyline on the other hand...............

Me being me, moved the stupid thing 3x times.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
