after trying all the 98+ fuels for a long time now, the best one i always thought was BP Ultimate (although there wasnt a massive diff), However recently i been using Vortex 98 and out of all the fuels, i think personally vortex 98 stands out, even more than the Shell 100 RON fuel. This is just my opinion. Fuel economy wise, well how do u ever measure fuel economy? unless you never gun the thing, and lets face it, not many of us would go through a full tank of fuel without pushing it here and there so its really hard to measure fuel economy.

most skyline drivers will need to do an ECU reset and run-in (~1000kms) to notice any differences between fuels

i've been running optimax since i bought my car, and when the fuel prices plummeted i switched up to optimax extreme (v-power racing) and noticed a little increase in response.

I've reset my ECU, just coming up to the optimal run-in mileage now and my car goes like a burnt cat. Stupid amount of response and acceleration, hardly even notice it's an NA :happy:

Afaik the 100 octane + 5% ethanol blend is what the japs use and what the skylines are supposed to run on, so that's what's staying in my car from now on, i love it.

yeah i ran the ultimate in my n15 with rnn14 and it was getting about 350-400 per tank ive had the v power racing in for a monthish now and i get 450-500 and i can def notice its alot smoother on accelerating and has bit more punch but nothing over the moon...

mainly use optimax inthe gtr no v power racing on the coast near me yet but have had the ultimate and no defference in both so far.... i have had caltex 98 in the sss and wasnt good but couldve been a bad batch.

just get some martini racing fuel 110ron hehehe

I only use Caltex Vortex or 91 (Not in a skyline, waiting till I am 21 now - just a ford falcon)

It is only about 7c more than 91 at my station, and nambour generally has the cheapest fuel in the sunshine coast (Normal Unleaded was 100.9c today compared to BP 104.9 AND I have to go out of my way to get to BP).

I put a tank of V power in today, I noticed smoother acceleration, cant say its got more power but I do like it, I'll let youz know what mileage is like when I fill up next.

It's funny that we still use the word mileage but kilometreage just dosnt sound right, does it?

    • Just as long as it's not those putridly disappointing RE003s.
    • I had this same experience going from a set of no name tyres that were on a set of good wheels (Enkei RPFs) to some Potenza RE-11s (this was a few years ago). The wet grip in particular was so much higher that it was almost scary considering how dangerous the old tyres were in comparison. The expense of the tyres also made me want them to last longer so drove accordingly. Wife happy. So now she only 'lets' me buy some flavour of Brigestones...
    • This. All of this. I am turning >$300 into small particles inside 20k km, because I like to be able to roll around any 90° street corner at the speed limit. Would my car be more fun with cheaper tyres? Possibly. When I swapped out the bald AD09s for new ones, the change in the car was massive. The obvious one was being able to put the power down instead of lighting up into silly wheelspin. But the corollary of that was that the lateral traction went from being fun to fast. It was more fun when it was loose. But the corollary to the corollary is that if I need to dodge a child in the road or emergency brake to avoid the arsehat who has just tipped a GWM on its side in front of me, then I've got a much better chance of that manoeuvre coming off without unintended "fun" meaning that I hit something else, or the original target.
    • Every time I have to buy new tyres I question what actual difference it makes between running $40 tyres and $300 tyres and whether it's worth it. Because that's a massive difference to the wallet. But then I did go to a driving training at some point which also included emergency braking and swerving in the wet. In part I think it was meant to show people how bad it gets. Funnily enough what I took away from it is that I can go much harder than I thought in my car. I presume mostly because of decent tyres. Some of the other cars there were shocking to behold. And a bit scary that cheap tyres are probably a lot more common on the road than decent ones  
    • I'm pretty sure that is just straight AI generated word soup, where did you receive that ad (facebook)? They misspell Pirelli twice, no human eyes looked at that before it was posted. Incidentally, I am running the chinese pirellis on my V37 and they are.....OK....I didn't go looking for them, they were just what the shop had in stock in the tall size that car needs. LIke any brand, you really can't trust the brand's reputation to apply to every product they produce. Pirelli make good and crap tyres, all with the same logo stamped on them, and all with an attempt at price premium due to the brand
