I use anything that is 98 that has a 4c voucher lol mostly caltex, then coles, if i have no voucher or if i need fuel asap i just get whatever is not heaps crowded (i wont hang out a driveway blocking traffic just to get 2c saving) or is closer. i dont think that having any of these fuels is better or worse, i think having a different/old oil/filter or dirty air filter etc would be more detremental or beneficial than fuels. i haven't tried the V Power Racing though, havent seen it in Newcastle before, only the other one at Shell.

Good thread but got everyone talking haha

Peace :(

Ultimate, V-Power and synergy 8000 are the only petrols I use. I am pretty sure synergy 8000 is the one i get the most k's and performance from but who knows, they are all good. But V-power racing contains ethanol I am almost sure so I did not want to use/try it. Plus it costs the earth!

Highest octane I have ever seen at a pump in the US is 94. I use 93 octane Mobile. I've tried a couple other brands, but Mobile stations are all over the place here and my car seems to run well on it.

i use ultimate because i am in qld, so it is actually ultimate. and i had a mate do an octane rating test on some and it was about 98.3 ron (where he worked a rep for a fuel additive company had an octane rating tester). he also discovered that adding 2 bottles of nulon pro strength octane booster will lower your octane, but adding the correct amount will raise it.

i don't use shell where i live because they had problems with their tanks rusting and it gummed up a heap of fuel.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
