[Sambo33]

[Sambo33]

thank god its the weekend

ive got to go to our 'end of year work party thing', and its only october

whats everyone else up to?

[writeoff]

went on a mini cruise last night with 3 other GTRs, 2 WRXs, and a RX7 S6 to Lobethal and back. Had issues with losing cars in traffic though. Engine was hot and brakes not as reponsive on way home but it sure was fun!

[Sambo33]

some nice cars on that cruise

i went for a bit of a drive last night, i had to put shell fuel in my car instead of BP, it started knocking heaps bad so i had to go home

[DriftR_33]

are bp and mobil both equally matched octane.?.?

[Sambo33]

not sure about that one.

i always put BP in my car, execept i ran out last night & the BP was closed so i had to fill up with shell, starting off for the first 5 minutes i took it easy then i went up to about 4500RPM in third and got a knock reading of 75 on the PFC!!! im gonna wait till this tank runs out & im never going to put shell fuel in there again

[Cillham]

Oooo, i havent been on a good run for ages! nice weather at night now for it, can actually get out the car and chat without getting drenched.

Also, I'm going for the Microtech to solve my problems, so car should be back at christmas time

Sam, Shell don't sell 98 octane fuel in SA, so if your car was tuned using BP Ultimate 98, putting Shell Premium (95 RON) is definitely NOT a good idea with an ECU with no knock control.

To be honest mate, I'd drain it and refill - it might be $60 worth of juice, but how much was that rebuild again? A LOT more.

thanks for that info will, i didnt know the shell was only 95RON.

i didnt put much of the shell fuel in there, just enough to get me by. so today i filled it up the rest of the way with BP and its running all good now.

from what ive read the knock reading of 75 isnt too serious, but ive learnt a lesson there.

[DriftR_33]

got my power fc today!!!

now i just got to get it tuned! :lol:

[Sambo33]

youll love the midrange difference that you get.

my favourite part was the loss of that flat spot right before the boost hits. now there is nice thottle reponse all the way through.

[DriftR_33]

yeah whats with the first 4500 rpm it sucks.

stupid VCT, is it for econemy?

also makes traction aproblem.

[Sambo33]

with that first 4000RPM right before the boost really kicks in, the computer over-richens the air-fuel ratio, not sure why, but thats why it goes all flat. i noticed my car used to back-fire a lot around those RPM, but now it rarely ever backfires

[DriftR_33]

ohh right, i thaught it was vct.

cool thanks for that dude

[Sambo33]

no worries, where are you getting the pfc tuned?

[DriftR_33]

i dont know mate, was thinking of graham west on marion road?

just because i am down at woodcroft. did you install you fc yourself sam?

[Sambo33]

i was originally going to, but i ended up getting it fitted & tuned all in one. i also needed a bosch fuel pump, cos the stock one was running out of puff. i got boostworx do do mine, they did a top job. but i also heard good things about graham west too.

[Deluxe]

Graham west is good, nothing bad to say about them at all.....only good, BUT my next tune will be done by Shaun at Boostworx........should be a good thing!!!!
