My experiences from

BP

Shell

Caltex

Caltex was the first fuel I used. Returned good economy (380km/45L) with a fair bit of giving it a hit. Was quite happy.

I decided to try Shell.

Shell: Car feels a little bit more repsonsive on the shell compared to Caltex just before it comes on boost. But, a drop in fuel economy (even when only cruising)

BP fuel. Miss fired and drove like shit. Will NEVER put it back in a car I own again!

Currently have just thrown a tank of Caltex back in (As local shell was closed at night) and will see the difference in economy.

And my Shell is around 2-4C/L cheaper then the Caltex. And over 45/50L that's only a saving of 90Cents - $2

And at $1.20 per litre, I'm only really putting in an extra litre.

I'll only get 13 extra kays on the shell once I wack in the "extra" $2...

The Caltex I think, will be what I'll be staying on in the future.

Well no matter what fuel (non ethanol based) I use it always returns the same economy... Be it regular unleaded (dialing out 7degree's at wot otherwise it pings) caltex, bp ultimate, mobile etc...

They all pretty much feel the same. Some times the car feels as if its a little down on power then I realise its probably because i've been stuck up it a lot more than usual and have got used to its pick up. Drive it sedately for a couple of days, give it a hit in second and it feels quick again. :D

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
