congratulations and welcome! im sure everyone will agree, only use 98 octane, i use shell 99% of the time and caltex is next in line. my mechanic said that they are all pretty much the same but where possible use the same pump at the same servo all the time.

post up some pics for everyone to see

+1 BP ultimate

ive used the Vpower ethanol 100 stuff couple of times but dont really trust it :rofl:

How is that stuff anyway? Does that extra 2 Octane make any difference?

I stick to BP as advised by my mechanic.

Also different fuel companies have different additives in their 98 Octane. SO personal choice / ppls experiance.

I go BP > Mobil > Caltex > Shell... IMO

^^ Friend told me he used it (100 Octane) he did not notice anything compaired to 98 Octane.

Plus Our cars would have had to be tuned for AUS fuel and I guess at the time 98 was pretty much the highest, when I bought my car.

100 only came out early last year from memory but was probley avaliable at selected Shell stations prier to all.

+ 1 to bp ultimate..

I think its best to stick to this fuel... as most skyline drivers use it.

Although whatever you choose to use, i think its best to stick with it and continue to use the same fuel, as said by someone above. Swapping between fuels all the time i personally dont think is good for your car...

Congrats on the pick up. Definatly only use bp ulitmate. Dont stinge out on fuel.

LOL! Funny you say that, I saw a guy filling up his Ferrari 360 Spyder at 7 Eleven.

I wouldn't even put that stuff in my Mitsubishi Lancer GLi.

lol, im not sure if this is true, as it was on aca or tt... but they said that all the fuel that is in these bowsers, comes from the same production plant.

so it wont make a difference what BRAND it is, just what ron rating it is.

lol, if anyone knows if the petrol thing is false, please correct me...i did hear is on aca/tt after all:S

Always used bp ultimate in my skylines but have been trying shell racing Vpower 100 fuel for the last couple of months.

Dont know if i like it. Cant feel any difference.

Going back to BP Ultimate though!!

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
