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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
