Stupid Shell service station ...

Filled up at Shell (was real low on fuel ... couldn't make it to BP) with their 98 fuel. Stagea has been idling like shit since. And it was right after filling up at Shell. Half the drive home was perfect before then. :ninja:

hahaha never had no drama's with shell you sure you used the red pump and not the green or yellow one

i even thought after running BP for a year and switching back to V-power my car had more guts and i know cubes uses V-power a lot of boys over melbourne and sydney have no troubles with it :D

Doesn't change the fact that the stag only started playing up after my stop at Shell ;) ... and 'yes' I know the diff between red, green and yellow. :D

I use V-Power regulary and havent ever been dissapointed with it. I found the car runs best on V-Power and Ultimate, and some other brand fuels not so much. I got stuck once and had to get 95 premium, didnt have as much guts (by a long shot) as the other ones.

I once made the huge mistake of trying V-Power in my S15 - car ran like a dog and started pinging its ring off. Luckily I had only put in half a tank, so could top it up with decent fuel and some octane booster so I could drive the thing.

I'll grab some octane booster tomorrow. Didn't think of that. Too pissed off at the time ... stopping and lights and missing and shit.

Better still. I'll just ride the Brutale to work tomorrow. :D

Lesson learnt: if its not BP ultimate, then its only half tank of whatever high octane.

MUD crabs eewwww yes i heard that on life FM yesterday, did you get my txt message the other day about reading the advertiser page 18 it was about bikie clubs and getting done by association

yeah got it bud but didn't get to read the paper........just the usual dribble, was it?

I only ever catch up with the Longriders in their rooms on the 1st Frid of every mth but haven't been there lately and they haven't been made 'out of bounds' yet.

If they continue their occasional association with the Jokers they may come unstuck and I'll stop going.

GTR's use a 25 box too its just the series 3 has different 3rd gear sychros

EDIT

Pete they had a scenario of some guy that had 2 cousin or some shit and made a bid story of it was a large article too bit to articulate

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
