There is a new united opened this week just off the princess Hwy at the Point Cook/Hoppers turn off. It has boost 98 and then i saw the 100 ron and doubled checked it and it sure is 100. Havent used it yet but will on my next drive.

Probably been asked before but is there a big difference between 98 and 100? I have never used 100 and am a pretty loyal bp 98 user.

How much extra is the 100? You can't get it from many places, so do you have your cars tuned for 100RON risking getting caught at a servo that doesn't stock it? Is there a noticeable difference? Do you guys use it for track?

Sorry for the noob questions.

Cheers.

My car loves the 100 octane from Shell. Definately a decrease in knock levels but then again i tuned it for running high boost. At low boost im sure 98 would be fine. But at 36 cents a litre more expensive i might give this united stuff a try which looks like around 19 cents litre more expensive than unleaded.

im gonna stick by my CALTEX VORTEX 98..........

amen man...amen.

but most company's fuel is the same..

BECAUSE IT COMES FROM THE SAME FKING REFINERIES!!!!!!!!

have a search and see where they originate. a report on tt (i know i know, not real big on 'facts' but i watched it) stated that most of the bigger fuel companies use fuel from the same refineries/distributors.

so really its not worth going to 1 specific petrol company

I try to keep away from ethanol, If you guys can remember, going back a few years, there was a huge fuss in the media about how ethanol was being added to fuel without consumers knowledge, it was known that this could cause engine problems with prolonged use.... now they are marketing it properly and everyones forgotten about the problems... I'm just paranoid about it now lol

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
