Hi members as i live in bathurst we have only had 2 types of 98 fuel, ultimate and v-power wich i use but we are geting a new united servo built and i noticed they are goin 2 b selling 98 octane fuel. What are peoples opinions on the different brands as the 2 majour servos out here a making us pay heaps for fuel v-power out here is $157.9L nad hopefully united goes cheaper to help the price of fuel out here. Thanks

a few differences

marketing

price

where its stored

brand

i dont see any reasonable difference between the various brands of 98

that is, assuming that are rated all at an even 98 octane count.

also be sure to note that some refineries arent in all states, so they share resources

ie shell 98 stored in NSW might not be shell fuel, it could be caltex and vice versa

the shell refinery in sydney is going down for more maintenance again until around march next year.

they will be importing fuel from asian refineries (singapore?!)

well different brands of 98 octane fuel dont reall seem to make much difference in mine except for the ethanol blend fuel - I was forced to use some the other day since the servo's in the town which i live in don't serve normal 98, and the amount of smoke it blew was remarkably less (running a microtech with an obviously very safe tune!) also got noticeably better fuel economy.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
