After checking with the chemist dude from work, the Toluene from my work is 'pure' as it's used as an ingredience in the production of paint. Octane Boosters from some companies might be mixed with other chemical additives therefore explaining the brown (or whatever color) deposits some ppl finds on their plug tips etc. Should start sellin' the shit.....tsk tsk tsk...

Also AFAIK there is only 95 octane at one place in Hobart and that won't get you around the whole state.

Its not that bad.

I went down to watch Targa Tasmania 2004, following the course, and pretty much any decent sized town I stopped in to fill up at had Ultimate if they had a BP.

Even if ya car was dynoed with 98, running 95 isn't really that bad, u can notice it but it should be okay if u dont boost it right out every gear. I dont think using 95 would be anywhere as bad as pumping 91 (normal unleaded) into ya RB. Now I have a question with the mixing ratio as stated by BP's website (Sydneykid), It states not to go over 30%, now is that by weight or volume? anybody? As we all know, if it was water then 1 kg = 1 litre but for other chemicals / liquids that ratio is different. Also, does anyone have an idea of what the capacity of the fuel tank in a '97 R33 GTST is?

Ive used the 102 stuff which is about 20 bucks a blttle and itl seemed to boost up a lot better and not detonate like it did on regular premium fuel. But my dad is a mechanic and he noticed the clapped out spark plugs and shit on my soil packs too

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
