Hey ppls,

I've been watching the shell/coles website for some time now waiting for the Shell Optimax Extreme 100ron to be available in SA.

Findon Coles/Shell is seeing upgrades, fingers crossed we will have 100ron soon. :/

Hey peoples :rofl: we've had it in Sydney for the past couple of months, i've tried it a couple of times and I didnt notice much of a diffrence.... except in the pocket (about 7-8 cents difference).... I find my car runs well enough on the 98 octane based fuels.... enjoy :huh:

Heslo & Smoky,

You won't notice any difference by simply dropping it in. The car needs to be tuned to suit. Well basically ign. timing advanced and 'possibly' even though its only 5% afr's richened up a tad.

If your running on a stock ecu and simply drop the 100ron in it won't do anything..

Madaz,

Mine won't run on 95ron, pings its arse off. :)

When it had the stock motor and ecu in it it was 'ok' on 95ron but I wasn't able to dial in any static ign. timing via the cas. 15degree's was it.

I dropped 98ron in to it advanced it a few degree's and picked up ~10rwkw.

Which was a lot when it was dead stock... 115rwkw to 125rwkw. :P

But yer 5% ethanol. Hardly anything. I have no issues running it.

Out come my coles dockets. :blink:

Busky2k,

Apparently its 5c more over optimax in syndey and the like.

I'm going to throw it on the dyno, quick tune and power run. Then a tank full of optimax extreme and another quick tune and power run. Shall be interesting to see what gains are to be had with my setup.

Wouldn't bother for my car. Unless your car is seriously hotted up or you plan on hitting the track it's not worth it for the sake of a handfull of kw's you're not going to notice. I'd also want to be able to quickly switch between engine maps if I had to change from one to the other.

Wouldn't run 95 though. I've had mine ping a bit on 98 let alone 95.

Hope you don't run your boost very high Madaz.

I'll have the few extra kw's as my coles docket will equal out the difference. :(

Its easy enough to pull out a little ign. for a whole tank of fuel should I need to drop 98 or even ULP in it.

ULP requires me to drop from memory when I tested 6-7degree's.

Got the map laying around some where.

Either way I'm going to have a fiddle. I'm a fiddler. :/

Unless ping is really ringland breaking bad its not easy to hear UNLESS your up against cement guard rail.

Thats how I used to do all my crude fiddlings prior to the PFC days.

Yeah that's it, I'm a fiddler too, but I don't want to have to carry a timing light in the boot all the time. Can't you set the map on the PFC so that the timing changes anyway? If I can't do it quickly & painlessly then I don't wanna know.

My 33's an everydayer & I don't want to be changing my timing once or twice a week if I keep getting different fuel ta very much. But if you want to go do that knock yourself out mate :(

I only ever run BP98 at the moment, never anything else. So really for myself it would be no different if I ran Optimax Extreme.. Fill up once a fortnight and be done with it.

The PFC.. Yep there is a temporary ign. overall trim or you can 'simply' lol @ simply jump in to the ign map and change the values across your WOT load points quickly... Depending how well versed with the h/c you are it will only take a minute.

Myself personally.. If I dropped a tank of bp98 in it I know its going to be in there for close to 500km's, so I'll spend the 1 minute pulling a few degree's out of load points 16,17 & 18.

I got pretty damn good fuel economy on the cruise, done 187km's and ever so slightly over 1/4 of a tank.

I remember seeing 140km's to a 1/4. :(

Busky2k....!!!! Where were u? :/

Well yer.. I usually just cruise it around changing up at around 2-2.5k.

Still always in front of traffic at the lights but.

It has been tuned, running a new genuine o2 sensor, and recently cleaned injectors. :(

The old injectors had 350km's per tank, and it felt as if it went bad overnight. I replaced O2 sensor and it made no difference. So injectors in my case it was. Was a good excuse to drop larger ones in. :/

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
