Saw a guy filling up a blue 33 GTST this morning with 91 octane and when i aked him what he was doing he goes i put octane booster in.

does he not realise that 91 is the best that fuel will ever be and if it has been sitting it is probably more like 88 or 89!!!!

Do not know what octane booster he is using but as far as i know they can only lift the octane rating up to 5 points which would still put him in the range of a blown motor!!!

Plus i have found that octane booster tends to foul the plugs ig not used out on the track or on a hill run.

just my observations

Had an interesting morning so far.

Got pulled over by the po-po in front of Prince Alfred College earlier - random bretho, cop was a nice chap who asked if I get pulled over much and explained that the criminals that steal the cars are more to blame for pullovers than anything, which is understandable. Took all of 5 minutes and they let me go, was not a drama at all - they didnt even ask to see my licence...

then im driving down port rush road and this ranga mofo that looks like jacko jackson sticks his head out of the passenger window of the magna he was travelling in, and yells at me "I f**kEN HATE BUSINESS C***S"

OK so I'm in a skyline and I have a collared shirt. Shoot me. Would've love to have NOT been caught in traffic, would have loved to have said something about him being an inbred bogan ranga mofo, but for all I know he was a methhead who wanted to punch on. Ahhh fun times. I just wish I was allowed to pack a gun and execute these vermin as I see fit (kind of like Judge Dredd but in a GTR instead of a bike)..

-D

For those interested in seeing what the Work Emotion 11Rs look like, I sold them and bought a set of gold Advan RG2s in GTR offsets for my Evo 8. End result should be something like this, in silver, minus the stickers...

its a permacool block adaptor and an earls relo block. 3/4 -16 thread or something on both. too small. gave em a call, theyll sort it out tomorrow, their little book said it would fit, so theyll just swap over to the stuff i need.

the filter thread on your car is M20x1.5, it's the non VTC SR20's that are 3/4x16. I would keep the 3/4 thread in the filter block and change the one that bolts to the engine as there is more filter availability in the 3/4 thread.

Better yet go to Racespec and get one of these;

Well hopefully i've now fixed my coolant leak (dodgey genuine water pump), and my reversion problem caused by my hard intake pipe. Be the first time i've driven it in about 3 weeks!

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
