Have a look down the bottom of the page. Should clear up a few things.

Just a question for those of you who did have or still have their cars tuned to V power Racing. (mine is at the moment, I havent driven it because i have blown my gearbox). What have you done as a tempory measure until you get it retuned? put 98 in it and take out some timing? Any other tricks?

I honestly think you guys are crazy to claim all these differences between the various 98 RON brands. I've used caltex 98, shell 98, mobil 98, BP 98 and they are all pretty much the same. the car doesn't run any better or worse on them. there must be something wrong with your car or tune or you had a stale or contaminated batch of fuel for you to notice any difference. and i have cars from 120awkw through to 350rwkw and a few in between and besides which most of the 98 RON fuels come from the same refinery just branded differently.

the V power Racing 100RON was great and I would have bought it all he time, but the lack of availability was a problem. when you only sell the stuff at half a dozen servos NSW wide it's always destined to be a failure. They should have rolled it out to many more servos and I'm sure it would have been a hit. bummer it's gone and now we no longer have 100RON pump fuel readily available.

Well honestly i believe that too, but for some reason(quite possibly the tune as i havent had this altered as yet), the performance does differ when using different brands of 98.

It may be just a bad batch, but for the 2 times ive tried shell v-power (includes trying different locations of the particualar servo chain).

, and the past few times ive been using bp, its been consistent with what i was saying earlier.

I'll be sure to ask the guys at the chullora shell(on Roberts rd :() what the go is next time im down there!

Power, and distance varies depending on fuel.. People have proven it.. Search with google.

Caltex is proven to have a 1kw advantage but I feel it runs hotter Ultimate seems to reduce pinging in my engine.. They all have different additives dont forget.

You can have a 1kw difference between between two dyno runs back to back without making any changes and besides, who can notice a 1kw gain.

I think they're all the same although I've had more instances of Opticrap being a bad batch and never with Ulteemate.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
