"Premium100 is a high performance petrol with an octane of 100, which is the highest rating available in the Australian market. Ethanol is a natural octane enhancer - adding 10% ethanol to petrol boosts its octane number and its performance. Ethanol helps the other components in petrol burn more completely. It also has a cleaning effect on the cars fuel system. Premium100 will give your car more zip! "

reading from that it should b better then BP ultimate. i might have to give it a try... i fill up tuesdays so might use it 2moro. any1 tried it?

Just be careful with ethanol blend fuels! I put some 98/10% ethanol in mine and the knock reading skyrocketed. Was tuned on Ultimate 98, tuner said that any ethanol blend fuel is trouble unless you retune for it. Due to the amount of extra fuel needed and less timing because of higher burn rate. My knock went from 30 on ultimate to over 200 on ethanol blend!

Oh and Damo, go for the chrome/orange globes. Last thing you want is nice clear side markers with daggy orange globes.

I am speaking to Luke_ENR about it, which seems to be clearing it up a bit for me.

I get the 040 in the cradle, but it doesn't go back into the tank. I now have a theory that the end/base of the 040, needs to be in the same position as the OEM pump. I was mounting the 040 a little bit further down, where the "C" bit of the cradle is, was where is was putting the line on the 040. the "C" bit, holds the OEM to the cradle as it has the pickup go through it.

ffs I couldn't have imagined it being so frustrating trying to buy a "near new" car .... I think I am on a winner this time - we will see what the mechanical check picks up on THIS one tomorrow.

pritty sure there is a guide on the site??

also i thought that the 040 is not a direct fit replacment?? but maybe thats just for gtr's

It isnt, you need to modify the cradle...but i think i know what to do now. I did look at the guide, it helped me a bit.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
