Always 95ron+ If you use regular, try not to boost your car. The minimum you should use is 95 octane fuel.

Edit: I remembered you have a NA Skyline.

seeing as my line was designed to run on 100RON, i'm not gonna be a tight ass and run it on 91 or 95RON. it's only a few dollars extra for decent fuel ffs

bp ultimate or vpower racing :)

I just want to add that running your car on 91 octane fuel could give you less km from a tank than if you're running on 98. The money you save by running on 91 octane fuel is not all that much if anything at all when you're filling up your tank more.

In other words, you could get 300km out of a tank of 91 octane fuel, but you could get 350km out of a tank of 98 octane. Your engine is tuned to 100 octane fuel.

The BP up here (karratha) dosnt sell ultimate 98 they only have premium. Premium is the highest octane we get :yes: so i might have to get my car tuned to that. . . . or add tollune (spelling) every time

These cars were only ever built for the local japanese market. Japan as far as I know isn't aware of fuel lower than at least 95RON so none of their cars are made to run on 91RON fuel. Especially skylines and related cars. I believe japanese fuel is above 100RON so I'd recommend 98 as its the closest you can get in many parts of australia. Some states have 100RON (lucky ppl) although that comes at a higher price too. 98 is quite safe.

Depending on how your car is tuned, you may have trouble even with 95RON - i know my stagea pings a little on it. Its BP Ultimate98 for my stagea. Have tried shell vpower but wasn't as happy with it. Each to their own. :yes:

Offtopic a little - I often wonder how many people who buy these new hot hatches and other new aussie-delivered cars realise that they need to run on 95RON or higher??

Many of us are only vaguely aware that 91RON fuel exists, and yet most people out there are unaware there is anything OTHER than 91RON... :)

It doesn't matter who sells it, if its cheap, people will put it in their cars.

BP ultimate in my GTR, although i run boost 98 in my civic.. and it sure feels real peaky lol and gets more km per tank, so i might try run that in the GTR and see what i get on dyno to see if theres any difference

I only ever run BP Ultimate. I've found it to be the best fuel for me.. Never really tried Shell optimax though.

Previous owner used to use Caltex Vortex - he filled up my car with it prior to handing it over, car would ping occasionally at higher revs. BP Ultimate has not done this.

Seriously, how much do you really save filling up with cheaper fuel.... a few dollars. Then take into account less k's from the tank of cheaper fuel..... if you need that $5 you saved that badly, maybe you should buy another car.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
