Petrol brand aint so important.. If you are tuned on V power or vortex or 2000 then if you use BP it wont matter, Its pretty obvious BP has hell high quality octane in it as on a stock car it made my engine not burn it correctly and back fire.. If anything u tune on another fuel and then use BP.. It still makes the car feel shit tho.. Its as if it does not burn.

Works fine when the engine is quite warm tho..

Should clarify..

The tune you get on a paritucular fuel gives you, depending on what you ask for: Good KM vrs Fuel consumption or Fuel for Power.. Vortex is actually rated the best Power giving petrol.. But I find it burns very quickly

Safc is included in aftermarket.. Its using fuel/airflow mixtures to get the best power or km depending on your tune... Id say doof has one too.

Good thing about stock ecu.. When you put new fuel in it adjusts for that fuel to try give best mixtures.. But we all know the ecu sux at that. Safc is tuned on a particular fuel its not so much an issue tho.. A standalone tune is actually tuned to prevent knock but give power so its more important.

Just get a knocklite if you run a safc and it will help or dyno it with diff fuels.. lol

See now if you have ever met me and seen my car you would know that I DON'T have an SAFC :)

I don't have shit... I had planned to skip all that and buy a new ECU outright... this plan started at the dawn of Apexi cancelling their PFCs... and then the prices went up...

The SAFC tricks the ECU to change the fuel and airflow mix like Nath said... It won't make a massive massive difference, but it would be best to stick with what it was tuned in, cause it was custom tuned for that type of fuel...

I've come to realise that V Power Racing burns REALLY fast too... I was pretty much at 100kms before this optishit started dropping off full... I'll check when I go home, cause that's pretty nuts...

ahhh crap i have to fill up today im at work atm hopefully they have bp ulitimate or i wont be able to get home :banana: or t least premium.... if worse comes to worse have to use normal unleaded is this very bad?????

Don't use anything less then 95 ron...

Daughterboard hey... sounds intriguing :ermm:

my work has been running out of ultimate on some tanks but not others and we always have premium.. the government took the rebate off petrol which is why its 13c more then regular unleaded not 11c.. I've heard a rumour that BP has been running out because they dont have their own depot (could possibly be only in newcastle) and we share shells depot and they're giving us trouble lol ... I'm not sure if thats 100% why they're running out but its definatly a reason..

I have heaps of skyline owners come in and used regular ethanol unleaded in their cars lol I cringe of course but couldnt be too bad for it in an emergency

I get it all the time at work too, tools going psycho at me for stuff thats completely out of my hands when the suppliers / manufacturers of the product are the ones responsible / at fault.

i just filled up with BP ultimate. every pump was working, and price was 1.45.? which is pretty cheap. also drove past another BP and they had ultimate too.

so whats all the fuss?

yeah thats cheap

i paid 1.51 for mine other day :banana:

yeah paid 151.9 the other day for BP at wetherill.

no v-power for ages at wetherill shell.

not sure if theyve refilled yet or not.

guy at the counter said they're doing some refinery work.

had to pour a lil bit of that crappy ethanol addative petrol from shell :S :S

what's crappy about it?

you get slightly better economy on it, it's 3c per litre cheaper than normal petrol and it has the same octane rating as premium unleaded

so that'll be win/win/win then

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
