realised my o2 sensors were fitted but the plastic conectors were not hooked up. Now they are hooked up the car seems to run a little better and I am hoping the km's/tank will go up a little. Just filled up today 65L of the good stuff... lets see how long it lasts.

Interesting..

Ive allways gone BP Ultimate in my import cars but I have heard this about Vortex 3 times now..

maybe we should do our own little mythbusters style test and see how it turns out..

Vortex Vs BP ultimate..

i found that i can get a few more k's outta vortex but watch the pinging increase. not worth it ! i think vortex is only 95. will only use it in the middle of winter if i need to. think the vortex 98 is even better than bp98 but dont sell it over here :P

hmmm im going to have to fill up the tank in the zed and try this cos she drinks fuel like nothing on earth - thought she would be better than the Skyline but seems to be the same. On her little information dial thing she reckons she's getting 7.8L per 100 ..... which is like corolla fuel useage and she certainly drinks more than that .... maybe i just didnt see the 1 in front of the 7 ..... cos 17.8L per 100 would be far more accurate in my opinion.

Niz, you can work it properly with the trip meter. Completely fill it up and reset the trip meter. Next time you fill up take down how many liters you put in and the KM's you did and work it out from there.

Its something like Liters * 100 / kilometers

i managed to finaly get 400 km out of a tank on shell premium, yeehhhaaaa.

pity its only 95 octane

ihave heard shell and caltex have made an arrangement with bp ( the only fuel supplier in W.A.) to carry 98 octane

so it looks like no matter where we buy our 98 octane it will be bp ultimate just re labeled either shell or caltex

I'm lucky to get 350km to a tank running 7psi all the time. I'm gonna try some injector cleaner and might try cleaning the sensors. But I'm in the city the whole time and my foot is quite heavy so I don't think I'm doing too badly though. Tell you what, it's a shock after driving a charade for seven years! I used to get 500km to a 35L tank of fuel doing the same sort of driving. 600km if I was doing country runs.

I do hwy driving but also stop start driving and get about max. 580km out of the tank, but average is around 530km with the fuel light just coming on and takes 55 litres its a 65 litre tank.

Thats with a little bit of lead footing as well so its not bad for such a powerful car other four cylinder cars I have owned only get like 650km so the extra couple of dollars means nothing for the performance enhancement.

I run mainly Vortex 98 or V-Power - Haven't tried the V-Power Racing as yet only because every shell i pull into I can't seem to get the bowser with it, but anyone know if putting that ethanol blend in the skylines is bad? As I have heard different things and not sure whethers it a good idea to try or not.

98 R34 GT-T Sedan.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
