i reckon its rated at 85 ron hahahahha!

Can you use it? well that depends. when you open your fuel cap, does it say "Premium unleaded only", or does it say "put some water, kerosene, metanol, ethanol, paint strippers, piss, milk, **** put anything in if you dont give a shit about how your engine runs or if it lives"

If its the second, then go for it!

Would you shop at Wollies for your engine oil?

Anything that is price driven has quality issues from the start in order to remain profitable!

You get what you pay for and if your not carefull you'll end up paying for what you get.

p.s. Optimax tastes the best!:D

No idea how well it is though.

Really? i didn't realise they sold that....well there ya go...

i haven't gone near a woolies servo since i got the Skyline, I just assumed they didn't have any 98 stuff.

I used to go there very occasionly in my old car and just use the normal ULP....but it was NOT a performance car lol

i know they used to use cheap malaysian import fuel when they first started, dont know about now. I filled up once with their lpg in my older car coz i was running on vapour, and as soon as i restarted my car it was farked, and drove like crap until i filled up with some other lpg.

I would never use that crap again

Guys ive worked in the fuel industry for about 3yrs and safeway fuels are EXACTLY the same as what u find at Caltex as most of them buy of the caltex newport terminal, BUT! in some cases they could get there fuel from Mobil in yarraville which would mean there premium is the same as mobil 8000, what u have todo is when your driving past your local safeway or any fuel servo that is, is stop when the fuel tanker is there refueling,and ask the driver where he loads up at,dont worry they will tell you most of the drivers are great guys. I used to get free fuel from the drivers lol and also free avgas and anything else i wanted

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
