ok a bit off topic and sounds stupid but iv heard a couple of myths if you want your car to pop flames then put in unleaded in lol cos it will make you mixture rich and a rich mixture is what will let you pop flames lol :(

I did it once but i had no choice - the petrol station had no premium whatsoever.

I put just enough to get me to another servo to fill up with pulp. I did put some octane booster in for good measure. The car ran like garbage - backfired heaps, idled funny

I always double check before i put the nozzle in

Nulon Pro Strength Octane Boost and Clean. $21 from repco.

At least you didnt put petrol in a V10TDI Toureg. $25000 to replace pumps, rails and injectors. I have heard of a Toureg owner who did it paid the $25k only to have his missus make the same mistake 2 weeks later

eitherway the standard knock sensing will keep you safe.

it should, and i know there are some savages around who will flog their skyline on 91 RON and the engine seems to keep it together (not sure for how long though!).

My stock series 2 occasionally pings slightly on 98 RON, so I'd feel horrible about putting anything less in (had to use 95 RON plus octane boost once and it still wasn't brilliant). should have a look at the spark plugs sometime they're probably the factory originals :happy:

well give a boot full it will miss a splutter and or detonate.

engine may go bang lol.

nah but seriously it will be ok. just run the tank out and fill up with optimax.

lol putting petrol in a diesel car. had a guy in a brand new hiace D4 TDI who filled up with unleaded. that pissed out smoke. ended up draining tank. replacing filter. priming. remove filter prime again. and spend 30mins cranking...

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
