ok before people start flamming, i did a search! if i didnt do it properly, hook us up with some links !

i dunno if this is new or not as in the 'v-power', because i took no notice of petrol before i goy my car, few weeks ago. About a week ago, was filling up my car with some normal unleaded petrol, payed for it came back to my car, and this guy comes up to me and says your killing your car mate, talked to him for a few seconds and then got back into my car, thinking this guy is a freak. anyway....the next time i went to fill up, i decided to fill it up with v-power, dunno why, i think i just remembered that guy telling me not to fill it up with normal unleaded.

Like i know vpower is 98 octane, but whats the difference between the other 98 octane at other petrol-stations.

Who uses this stuff? is it good?

Please dont flame! please! :(

The guy wasn't a freak >_<

You will kill your car if you use normal unleaded (91ron) and push it at the same time. I know of one person that blew his engine after pushing the car with 91ron. Another mate decided to save some money, till he heard the pinging come from the engine.

First did u see ur engine light flashing under sersious load? on 91..thats kinda bad. You might have experieced crappy performance as the stock ECU (i assume) goes into R&R when it knocks like crazy.

BP Ultimate is good stuff for the 98...many ppl have found this on many different cars. Me and some guys did exenstive testing in our FTOs between BP and Shell and BP won every time on the stock ECUs which are desigend for 100 RON in J-Land.

V-Power Racing (100) really lowered my knock to mid teens in general all the time when tuned on 98...but thats kinda obvious now isn't it.

From my personal experience, I like BP Ultimate. I find all my cars run better on it, giving better performance and a little more Ks. From my experience, every one was bias for some reason or another, so my solution was to try em all and see for my self. Its not going to hurt, as long as its a 98oct. I am bias as well, so the only way you will know for sure is to try it for your self. Here are some linkz for each brand.

BP Ultimate

Shell V Power

Mobil Synergy 8000

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
