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!!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
