wouldnt of thought NA RB would have enough power to utilise the RON

i didnt wanna say it.

LOL that's what i would have thought?

What static compression do they run?

9:1 afaik.

just for comparison, my old toyota ran a cr of 10.5:1 and didnt have any problems on any premium fuel. cant see how the lower compression nissan engine would suffer problems.

[TALBO]

my car lost power with the v-power fuel, she hated it ran like crap and detonated off her nut

I'd be taking her to the mechanic in that case, could be many other things like spark, coil packs, afm ect ect....

Mine runs just fine on V Power, I wouldn't say it runs better (than Ultimate 98) but I definitely get better fuel consumption on V Power. But I'll use either, depends where and when I fill up...

[RubyRS4]

Well the issue is resolved. Found some octane booster in my shed, put it in this morning and she runs fine now. f**king shit fuel.

Edit: I should add, it doesn't matter if the engine is forced or na, shit fuel is still shit fuel. Don't you think NA cars suffer detonation too?

I've got a new name for V Power: Vagina Power = its a c*nt of a fuel

almost there. intakes been hooked up, disconnected the cas and cranked it a few times, cant see any leaks, but ill have to wait til i actually start it to know for sure.

just waiting on a couple shorter exhaust studs, and then its start time. getting anxious now. lol.

Mine is getting fitted this arvo

[scandyflick]

gonna be a bit sketchy when mines running i think. ~1bar through the standard side mount. sounds fun.

[Madaz]

Hurry up and go full frontal

[scandyflick]

its on its way.

Just a quick question...how do i get the static compression ratio of my car???? std rb30 but with a set of hypatec dished pistons??

[Hotwire]

What servo did you get the V-Power from Ruby? Was it a servo that is very busy? 98 ron fuel (no matter who makes it) will lose octane as it sits. So if it had sat in their tanks for 3-4 weeks because no one had bought it, then it would probably have been down around 95 RON.

The trick is ALWAYS buy your fuel (BP, Shell, Mobil) from a very busy servo. Tanks get drained quick, which always means nice fresh 98 ron fuel.

The same applies if you put you dont drive your car for a while. If it sits for a month or two, ALWAYS add fresh fuel, or at least octane booster before heading off again

Supporting the above, I've use both V-Power and BP Ultimate in all my cars, and each fuel is the same as each other - never a bad batch because I always visit busy servo's on main roads

[RubyRS4]

I think I just encountered a bad batch. Still wasn't happy about it.

I always (99.9%) buy my fuel from BP near Greyhounds and BP West Tce, or Shell West Tce

Not sure if I should name the servo ... but its located near the brewery

See now that is a pretty shitty small servo - it wouldn't surprise me if the don't sell much 98 there at all and you got some old horrible fuel.

(probably sell plenty of 91 with the 4c dockets for all the dero's heading home to the western suburbs )

a compression tester ? if its a built engine, or you can calculate compression based upon measurements,bore,cc of cyl head etc if the motor isnt built yet

how awesome is having 3,333 posts?

not because im a post whore and wanna brag about my fairly large e-penis, i just like having numbers line up.

Aww c'mon ... its right next door to the fully hectik Super Cheap yo! Thats gotta be worth a few extra kw.

Had no choice, right near empty and I failed to stop at BP West Tce.

the devil is my bitch.

srsly.

ive got a photo around here somewhere...

... anyways, got a price on those work meshies i posted some pages back. bout 1400 beans. be able to sell my enkeis to make up at least half that i reckon.

:EDIT:

for anyone that cares, these are the wheels in question;

went out side with a couple rulers, fronts will sit pretty flush with the camber im running at the moment, rears will sit *just* proud with a 5mm slip on, will require some rolling though, and a bit of a lip when i get the camber sorted. jawesome.

meshies look awesome, def one of my favourite style of rim to suit a skyline or a 2hunj

love VS-XX work or the Weds Kranze mesh - or BBS if youve got the extra coin
