anyone used shell's v-power racing 100 octane?

i'm just worried about the E5 (ethanol) content in it as not all cars are compatible, and as with imports I have not found any references whether V35 is Ethanol tolerant...

Yeah ive used it a few times from said pertrol station and with the same results, i wont use it anymore however as the car has been tuned for 98ron and im now getting around 550km's to a tank all city driving with the new ecu.

Milton which is the closes shell that stocks it...

they haven't had it for over 6 weeks now... quite frustrating

they make more money by using the ethanol with the 91RON - as more people can afford it.

What sort of new ECU did you put in?

ive been using boost98 and notice a much smoother engine and drive. have to say i was quite concerned about the 10%ethonol but did a shit load of research and could find a major thing to be worried about. i did make sure i filled up with a full tank first go though and the ethonol blends with water that may be sitting at the bottom of your tank (this does happen) from moisture.

second tank through. much more impressed. did 510km country driving with just under half tank left, 4L V8 economy.... i was impressed.... not sure weather it was the fuel of ECU reset but it fogged factory specs. done it twice now.

some members on G35driver has reported that changing or cleaning the O2 sensor helps with the economy too. and of course best to do a ECU reset with it... Havent tried it, might give it a go this weekend. However our car is known for it's fuel sucking engine... i dont think we will see a lot of improvements with ECU tunes or change fuel types, it comes down to the driving style...

We have several topics on this issue (one would suffice and probably cause less confusion). However if you read through all, you will find that these cars are actually pretty economical, as Warren has pointed out. I almost fell off my chair after reading the above comment "fuel sucking engine"...maybe next to a Toyota Echo.

Am I the only one here blown away by how good the economy is on these cars?

when i first got my car i was travelling to Wondai on a weekly basis, and the fuel economy was unbelieveable

you just don't expect to get >800kms out of a tank from a car with this much power

especialyl coming from the fuel-sucking engines from R-series skylines.. now they are horrible on fuel economy

but you'd expect decent economy from such advanced engine design that hte VQ has, not to mention the fact that its an NA

you're kidding, right??

this has to be one of the most economical for its power output cars i have driven for a long long time..

no im not kidding, if you have look a the figures on modern day 5-6L V8s with over 300kw, they consumes about 13-15L/100km. so in comparison, its no where as efficient ...

Have you owned a 5-6L V8 with over 300kw? I can tell you real world figures are far from those as mentioned.

Currently my 35 is getting closer to 12L/100km.

try to clean the O2 sensor with some rubbing alcohol first. as to reset ECU, u can do that urself, hmmm if u have access to the G35driver's forum, there's a dedicated thread on that...

Let start searching.

Got it:

I've done 2 things. 1/ Checked the ESM (section EC-68) for confirmation of this procedure, and 2/ done the procedure on my G.

I tried several times to do this without success b4 succeeding on about the 4th try.

-------------turned ign. to on & waited (only) 3 seconds- just 'on', not started!

--------------floored and released gas/p 5 times within 5 secs.

--------------waited 7 secs then floored gas/p for 10 secs at which time the check engine light blinks

------------- release gas/p

------------- floor and hold gas/p for 10 secs.

-------------your done.

seems timing is very important on this

I've done the procedure but have no idea if it's had the desired effect yet. Won't know that 'till later today.

If successful, this looks like any easy way to erase the ECU's memory. I'll post my impressions later. Would someone else try it too?

Got it:

One thing to note guys. We have a different ECU to the US G35.

I have looked into having mine reflashed and in speaking with a workshop in the US have confirmed that they are different. (This place has both)

Not sure if doing the steps would be doing anything bad, just saying.

If anyone gives it a shot, let us know.

Cheers

I went with an autronic, apparently the first in the country with one fitted as autronic and my tuner both helped eachother to write the software to run the car... more headaches but at least it goes now, and a hell of alot better and more economically then it did before.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
