  1. and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
  2. Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
  3. Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
  4. Maybe for when he's feeling rich and buys E85 drums
  5. Post it up on YouTube and a non public video and dump the link back here, it embeds it. Imagine you have a Borg Warner turbo, you'll probably end up driving home without boost 😆 I kid I kid....
  6. Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes. United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
  7. chuck this bad they/their into your car: https://www.kitsetperformance.com.au/product-page/microsquirt-ecu
  8. There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).
  9. Tomei or Nitto, don't use the OEM one or Cosmetic ☺️
  10. Just run them at 4 bar to give you 1650cc of spray, done.
  11. Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range
  12. On cold start cranks, you can tell the starter motor isn't as "crisp" sounding. Especially cars with stop/start "technology" (not really technology, it's garbage). Test was done at Supercheap Auto, it's part of their warranty claim process. Not often a good definitive test, as the battery may still show a "healthy" voltage - like mine, in the test you can see it's showing 12.41V I've seen this too, when you jump start a car with a completely fried battery, just as bad as when you disconnect the battery terminal on a running car and see the voltage spike LOL
  13. It's recommended, however I can assure you a good amount of people don't bother. FWIW, the OEM battery lasted 4.5 years and I changed it prematurely too, I reckon could have stretched it to 5 years.
  14. I think I now dislike Century batteries and shall never buy another one. 2.5 years in and the battery on the VW shit box is toast. Barely could start the car, even after I gave it a good zap on the charger overnight. It has been getting weaker and weaker over the past 2 to 3 weeks. Luckily, there's a 36 month warranty period. Brought it back to Supercheap Auto and they swapped it with a new one, the process took 5 minutes. So good! Oh yeah, if you own or have owned a VAG shit box, standard shopping list of errors when you pop in a new battery 🤣 And yes, I incremented the serial number to restart the charge strategy. Apparently the VW forum gods believe there is a timed battery charge strategy that reduces the charge with age so it doesn't speed the battery's deterioration over time. Other than that, Skyline still sucks.
  15. Ran in more boost, ask questions later
  16. Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
  17. There's often an inverse relationship between having no demerit points and actual driving skill. Drivers with stacks of demerit points, sometimes on the edge of losing their licence ironically tend to have better car control when things go sideways. (based purely on broscience and data made up).
  18. it's exactly the same sounds like you have either a faulty tacho OR issues with wiring
  19. Wait till you own a 90s JDM shit box I can too, you often hear / see of kids borrowing their dad (or mum)'s fast car and binning it.
