Hi tlai909,

I don't know anything about woolworths fuel, but the Caltex Vortex is only 95ron, not 98 like shell optimax and bp ultimate. Since all these cars expect to run 100ron stock, I'd be staying away from anything except the best.

i've used it, woolworthes premium that is ... haven't found it too bad ... my car likes 95 ron much more than 98 ron for some reason ... i get the same mileage as i would with bp premium ... i dont' see why people don't like woolworths ... if it has the same ron rating ... but i dont' use it that often ... only when i'm out and have to put some more in ... or when i can get 4cents of hahaha

Just because you are paying for a 'brand name' doesn't mean you are getting quality. :D

Safeway at least have the balls to guarantee that their fuel is ethanol free, so thats good enough for me.

Most of the people that run PULP in their cars are only doing it to try and look prestigious anyway! :P

There was a write up in one of the news papers about the Woolies petrol after a heap of people complained about it.

Apparently it's not refined as well as the other 'big brand names' are.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's crap, but there is no way I would use it on a car that was made to run on 100 RON fuel.

Friends use it on a regular basis, and found that they were having to get services more often due to clogged carbies and injectors !!!

I think the 4c off per litre you get isn't worth the extra servicing that you would have to get done !!

I assume you mean one or the other........ :P

most probably wollies premium has ethanol in it, why bother using it anyway its only 95 octane and untrustworthy..........and for those of you who use optimax...Shell says its UP TO 98 octane not 98 octane on the dot or over, unlike BP's stuff which BP says it to be at LEAST 98 octane.......just letting any of yous know who dont :P

Woolworths uses Caltex Fuel. Im sure they mix something else in with it coz it absolutely sucks (used it twice on my old '90 Pulsar and it choked like a pig).

My parents and sister insist on filling up with W'Worths fuel coz we have a server only like 20sec drive from where I live. I warn them everytime but then again they don't have a performance car so they don't notice any difference.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
