Caltex got the best? Apparently BP is best for R33's.... like u said, doesnt matter... Car still runs better on BP premium. :cheers:

i dunno either? but the way i look at it and my opinion is:

BP ultimate = Pioneer

Shell = Sony

Caltex = Panasonic

United = DSE/Home Brand

or in other words cheapo fuels will burn quicker because of quality? but i'm a noob so odn't listen to me lolz.

well octanes under a micro scope look different . the caltex ones have much better athletic bodies and are trained at high altitude. where a mobil octane tends to be more or a muscular octane with short burst power that fades away over distance .... the bp ultimate is a combination of vortex and sugar free redbull hence why the turboed cars tend to go reel well on it until the taurine wears off on hot humid temperatures.

Thats kilometer wise, how about engine wise? or the feel of how much better does your car run?

doesnt seem to be saying no to it :cheers:

very very smooth.

All the 98ron fuel go well with the engine, but the caltex one gets more klms per ltr

in true ACA fashion, that test was pathetic and proved nothing but how their topics are chosen on the basis of how interesting the ad will sound.

the test was done on standard unleaded for starters. the difference in mileage could easily be attributed to the car on the day. we all know that no two cars are exactly the same, even if theyre the same model.

the difference between best and worse was soemthing like 8%. but then they decided to run 2 of the cars (why only 2?) on premium on the run back (BP and i think Mobile?).

the difference there over the standard unleaded was 7%. lol. so the test was basically a waste of time and told us nothing about anything.

Just watched it...

At the end of the day, they're the same model cars, but they're not THE SAME CAR, so its not exactly an accurate test...not to mention that any difference in throttle application before they got onto the freeway will affect the overall outcome. Not to mention that the speedo on each car might be different to the speedo on all of the others etc...so when they're dealing with a difference of 600ml, it really doesn't mean a thing considering all of the variables in the test.

I can't believe they even needed to test driving aggressively against driving conservatively...did they expect it to not turn out that way?

I hate these shows with their bullshit 'journalism'.

I wonder if ACA will be fined for littering, when the bald tosser threw $20 out the window...

LOL! yeh idiot threw the money out the window...trying to be a sick kent on t.v..what a dumbass...could've used that for extra 98 octane! i wonder if they pulled over and tried to go back for it on the freeway.

Don't use United and Liberty fuels... reason being, that they're bio-fuels

pulled fuel lines and changed fuel filter out of a truck the other day and found it to have slimy moss (green stuff on rocks)

couldn't believe it... never again will i use these fuels, but wanting to try ethanol based fuels

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
