Hi guys

Maybe this has already been covered but if you dont know why there isnt any V power racing at your local servo heres why.

(i spoke to people at the shell servo to find out).

Apparently a shipment of octane-boosting-chemicals is shipped from geelong to queensland where it is mixed at the refineries to get 100 octane fuel. HOwever there have been troubles with this shipment and as a result the octane-boosting-chemicals have not been delivered to the refineries so they cant make V-Power Racing.

is it any good for our cars

Yes and no . 100 ron means you can tune it with more timming so you get a little more power.

No because ethonol is not a lubricant like oil it is corrosive .. You make your own choice ..The good bit about it, it only has 5% ethonol..

Owgasm , It is not % mate its 100ron and V power is 98 ron , you can buy 91,95,98 and 100 rom pump fuel here now .

I've not seen a V-Power Racing Pump

Or just thought V-Power was the only option :S

anyone been to the shell at Logan Lea. Did/do they have V-Power Racing. I fueled up today and used V-Power it was red, no idea if it was V-power Racing.

But i got a pack of CARDS!! :) lol! Collecting cards.

Its true, but the actual fuel isnot that mainstreem so its at selected stores. V- Power is stocked evrywhere.

Personaly i use Mobil, i find its better for me in terms of how quick it burns. Other than that, i dont havy any big mods so i cant tell if it goes harder between all the fuels. BP burnt the quickest.

Yes and no . 100 ron means you can tune it with more timming so you get a little more power.

Jap cars are designed to run on 100RON. However, it's a bit too expensive and inconvenient for me so I'm living with 98 RON.

Ethanol is a solvent, rather than corrosive. Petrol is a solvent as well, in many ways. Ethanol is probably a bit more aggressive which is why some people are worried about rubber fuel lines etc.

That said, Sydneykid has been running an ethanol mix in his skyline for years and regularly cuts open his fuel filters to inspect them, and has never seen any evidence of a problem. That's good enough for me.

10C on the top of 98, no use to you unless you tune your car for it .

The last lot they had at Compton Rd was selling 30c over the 98RON...that's just a f**king joke. I can pick up 500g of octane booster from a chemical supplier for $150 that's enough for 104RON with 2500L petrol!!!!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
