shouldn't be to bad.

just don't drive that hard. and when you next need to fill up put premium unleaded in.

I will for sure!!!

Man I must have been day dreaming I swear... Ive had my car for 3 and a half years... lol

lol, i know what you mean. Was with a guy that had just came over here from south africa and watched him fill his deisel 4wd with premium unleaded, just didnt click in my head. but unlike you his car was f*cked to drive after that. Thank god it was a work car :)

man thats tough...

I honestly dont know where my mind was............. lol

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...

    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
