I recently recieved a link from a website for ET racing Fuels www.etracingfuels.com they have released a range of unleaded race fuel that can legally be used on the Street best thing is that already in Sydney there is 1 service station that has it at a Pump and there is about 7 or 8 in the near future that will be stocking it as well flip side is that it will cost $3.85p/Litre.

Hopefully when they open it up at more service stations the price might drop a little but for a track day or something it would be good 20 Litres for just shy of $80.00.

There is no odour from the fuel when burnt so no give away odour like normal race fuel But as i mentioned it is STREET LEGAL so no need to worry about Police hassles

I will be trying about 10 Litres in the car on Saturday

The address for the Petrol Station is ET Petroleum 47 Lakemba St Belmore NSW

They tested it on a Commodore cup car it put out 199 HP and 355 pounds of torque and with ET102 it put out 215 horses and 400 punds or torque. Nothing was changed or modified with on the car between runs just different fuel. the way i was think even for $10 and maybe 2 litres it would work better than octane booster

Abit expensive for a trackday considering that most people would go thru a solid 60L's in a day ($240 in fuel, ouch!).

As you say, might be good to mix $20/mth in with 98RON just to give everything a clean/burn out in the system.

Might also be a cheap fix for drag racers after a better TS :D

Funny ! I was just having a discussion with my boss today about blending racing fuels and their costs at the moment. Said he used to blend fuel for the big petrolium concerns many years ago and still had the formulas. I said that they have to be non lead based and he said that wouldnt be a problem.Keep you guys posted

2rismo The car they tested with is a Commodore Cup Car so once the engine is built it is then Tagged shut to prevent tampering to make the racing even.

But regardless whatever you obviousley know something we dont

Changing octane level and other fuel properties alone does nothing for power output.

Timing on Commodore cup cars can be changed so my guess is, they advanced it to suiOtherwise the power gain is due to another factor they weren't prepared to divulge.

Depending on what engine management the commodore cup car is using, it could possibly adaptively increase and decrease ignition timing according to the knock sensor.

But power gains of 16hp and 55Nm won't be realised in back to back dyno runs... The car has to be driven HARD for a while to adapt to the new higher octane fuel.

a few of us central coast boys in our skylines are going down on sunday to FILL, yes FILL our cars up with 120octane fuel, god it will be fun on the way home, r8un on low boost and see where she goes, if all good, then up comes 25ppound of boost.

rob ive got a water-air ic works well, but thinking of pumping liquid nitro through it, gotta keep those temps down.

see yall soon.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
