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.

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!!!!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
