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...

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
