How much per litre Sub?

It does look to be the fuel of choice. Have you read the article on the MoTeC site: http://www.motec.com.au/fueltest/index.htm

I know a few track day guys who are switching to it.

Yeah interesting facts, some good info. I actually saw that episode on the testing and since then have been looking for it.

Finally found it thanks to my old man who found it by mistake.

Thats why i think its good to list other locations for people who have been looking for it.

The car runs alot better.

i got some of this at the shell on hawthorn rd, brisbane yesterday i was surprised to see they didnt have any normal premium in there, well not that i saw anyway. (didnt look to hard though) payed $1.44.9

Is that the first time you have used it, did you notice a difference.

hmmm i always favoured shell stuff (optimax prior to v power) cos that's what they use for the v8 supercars (shell makes them one big batch at the start of every season and they all draw from the same batch to keep things stable) or at least they used to.

so when i bought my skyline (all of about 3 months ago) i took it straight to shell and filled her up and she felt great. but then the second tank felt like shit. so i switched over to caltext vortex with mixed results.

maybe i'll give shell another go....

edit: are all v-power's 100 octane?? i think, but can't be sure that the one i used was 98??? Hungry Jacks over the highway from mudgeeraba on the goldy if anyone knows.

Edited by made_guy
Today i payed $1.45L i think thats a fairly stable price as normal fuel was only $1.16L

yeah it is a bloody good fuel but i refuse to pay for them now...the price used to change as the pump price changes, but now because the market is so special, no matter how cheap the normal petrol is, the price for v power racing will be set at 145c per litre...rip off if you ask me..i can stay on V power untill the special occasion comes

to add the location,

Shell Albany Creek ( on the way to Mt Glorious :sorcerer: )

Shell on Coro Drvie neae Wesley Hospital

and yeah the fuel is great for my car been running on it for 3-4 months straight, only just came off to v power and already notice the diference..

the ethanol is good in a way, as it cleans everything in the engine as it gets passed through. Its almost as good as having water injection except its in the fuel. However because its partially made up by ethanol the fuel isnt as dense and it also burns leaner, so when being tuned it needs to be richened up abit in comparison to normal fuel. By all means you should get a little less economy from a tank because of this. However it does have a higher octane rating, so it sort of works itself out. Think of it like methanol, it burns lean and cold, thats why you need to squirt 2.2 times as much over std fuel. But the octane rating of it is astronomical.

Thats how i see how the ethanol helps, whether its right or not is beyond me.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
