yeah a lot of cars have around 20-30rwkw.

you notice it alright because its due to the added timing etc, so not just outright power, power all through the rev range

Ah BS, I had close to another 25rw/kw added to mine and I coudn't even tell, you're doing VERY well to notice 20 killer wasps I tell ya now. :D

I give it another 2 years until they start phasing out 98 ron :D

I don't think so - alot of performance and euro cars need 98 fuel.

- But you "could be" possibly onto something, one way of masking detonation is to add more ethanol to 95 fuel - Which is crap as this is ethanol has a lower BTU and we are all still paying the same price at the pump :)

BB - try here:

Benno - can you confirm that this is good as the shell product.....do you recommend a retune?

"premium100 is currently only available in Albury & Bayswater in Victoria. "

Bah, it was so handy when it was 10 minutes drive away. Why Albury?????

I reckon a re-tune would be needed as it would run leaner given the 3.55% oxygen content, not to mention specific gravity differences (fuel mass etc).....

At least its going to be next year before we need to worry.

PFC users if you cant find 100ron and your tuned around 100ron you can use the temp IGN adjust to back out say 4 to 5deg IGN timing

this should stop the main bulk of detonation on full load when using 98ron fuel. i would only use this as a temporary measure (hence the term "temp ign adjust") and get it retuned properly. the temp ign adjust feature is covered in the PFC FAQ and it resets itself when you power the car off (so you need to set it each time).

Wow my track days just went up by $400. Fark dat!!!

Looks like a trip to Bayswater every track day is in order to get united 100. I know my car was tuned on it so there is noting wrong with the stuff.

Only problem is I bet united follow suit with shell. Which is going to leave sunoco at $7 p/l looking like a fair option :(

Only problem is I bet united follow suit with shell.

With all the fuel sharing going on I wouldn't be surprised....however Shell lists the eth content as 5% whereas United lists theirs as 10% so maybe they are different fuels.

bad news is united is 72km round trip for me :P

its good.. similar to VPR. but has 5% more ethanol so the AFRs will be a little leaner hence need to retune atleast the fuel mixtures (esp if you are running close to 12already)

i am running mobil98 right now. its good.

This really sux.

My GTR is tuned for 100 RON V Power Racing and it is far more responsive than any of the 98 options around.

Looks like I will have to go back to BP Ultimate and a trip to the dyno for a re-tune.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
