I get my 33 back in a couple of weeks (hopefully, they've had it for 6 weeks already!) its getting a complete Forged Rebuild. I was wondering what people feel as the best fuel to use, what you guys feel you get the most power and most km's from?

Thanks in advance for the replies! :(

optimax is also pretty good - but in my experience (my car is stock) ultimate does the best. what have u been using? try it with all the top of the range fuels - see which is better.

I have been using BP Ultimate, seems to run pretty well with it, haven't tried anything else though.

out of the normal 98 premium they are all the same. there is little difference between them. ive heard of people saying their engine is tuned on bp premium 98 and they must only use that. its a load of poo and its all the same.

baseline 98 premium, as long as the octane count is the same or close ish its fine and acceptable. ive tried many various 98 premiums all getting the same results. most people claim better economy and so forth on like vortex 98 vs bp premium 98 and so on, its a load of poo.

but overall optimax extreme is the readily (easily) available 100 or 101 octane fuel that would be ideal

yeah this was covered last week, basically i reckon its all the same shit and its all around the same averaged rating. that is, assuming we are comparing true 98 ron fuels. sure there are bad batches of fuel and so forth but overall its probably the same shit. also BP dont have any crap in victoria so they share from other refineries, ie: they borrow tankers & crap

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
