I always use premium, but I'm starting to use Caltex Vortex. Its 98 Octane, and cheaper than BP Premium. BP Ultimate is too expensive for someone who earns just over $200 a week. Damn apprentiship!!

and for some caltex, u can use safeway dockets to save 4c a litre :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

im just curious as to see if teh vpower racing is good or bad for your car

i hear u only supposed to use it in post 2004 models

when i had my s15 i emailed shell and they wrote back saying they would not recomend it in my 2002 s15 :thumbsup:

Pretty much just any RON 98 :banana: I use the vortex 98, coz its the "cheapest" (>_>) RON 98 near my area...

I being hearing people getting away with RON 95s ok, although, I won't trust my car with it...

Only ever BP fuel.

Im using BP 95 ATM....was using 98 RON but didnt find a great deal of inprovement with it. Either way the BP fuels (95 and 98) have been flawless in my R33 N/A.

Ethanol = lots of probs (cheap and nasty) stalls car, runs rough, pings

from what I have read/seen/heard, with 98 ron fuel you will get a more pure fuel and more efficient burn, thus getting more power and better fuel economy (though this may only be minimal depending on your car) also you will increase the life of your engine, compared to 95 Ron.

I ALWAYS use BP Ultimate unless an absolute emergency.

with everyday/non-sports cars it doesn't really matter as much. Sports cars are made to take advantage of better fuel.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
