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:

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.

I use Shell vpower and never let the tank get below half. I've heard so many reports about bad/contaminated fuel I dont trust any company but I have to fill my car up somewhere lol.

      Genuine nismo N1 rear pods - anyone got any?

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Nismo32 · Posted

      Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.

      Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.

      Water pump replacement - Sydney region

      By billyons · Posted

      Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill

      While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
