RTHRTY3 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Sorry to bring this up again guys, i sure theres a tread about his, but i can't find it unless its about the GTS-t . I know all the turbo version uses Premium Unleaded, but wat about the N/A model? I got the 1993 R33 GTS25 (Non-Turbo!) So wat fuel do u guys use and recommend? Without harming the oxy sensor. Thanx in advance... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24608-unleaded-or-premium-for-na/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismoman18 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 should use more 95 higher octane, which is premium, normal is 90-92, i use to mix premium and normal, but now i only use BP or Shell premium Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24608-unleaded-or-premium-for-na/#findComment-524400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyla Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 run it on premium unleaded, 98 octane if you can get it, in Japan they run them on 100+ octane.

NA_R33 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 yep premium for sure, i get at least 50km's better consumption on a tank of premium. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24608-unleaded-or-premium-for-na/#findComment-524694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismodified Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Use at least premium unleaded fuel. As NA_R33 said, you will get better fuel economy at least, and peace of mind. Though something you may not know is, Shell Optimax loses its octane value over a short period of time, and drops significantly.

RTHRTY3 Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Thanks, so i'm assuming that when you guys said premium unleaded you mean ones like BP Ultimate, Shell Optimax, Caltex Vortex etc... Cause BP for instance, aren't there like the BP Ultimate with 98 RON and the Premium Unleaded with i think 95 RON? Someone clear this up for me please Thanx again.

nismoman18 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 ultimate is the stuff man, never heard of premium unleaded from BP, thats just the normal stuff. Ive got a user handbook which says anything over 95 however because they are run on 100 in japan its reccommended to use hihger octane fuel like shell, BP, which are 98 (from memory) caltex (97) and errm the others lol.

RTHRTY3 Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Yea i won't spend $250 for the workshop manual but may be $50 just for the owners manual. Is that the one you got nismoman18? And skyla for this one http://www.jpnz.co.nz/xcart/customer/produ...12&cat=8&page=3 how much is it in aus dollar plus postage and handling, do you know? It would be good if aust has got one here. ight thanx guys...:burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24608-unleaded-or-premium-for-na/#findComment-526501 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyla Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I think the exchange rate at the moment is about $1NZ = 0.87c AU so you would be looking $43.50 AU. Sorry don't have a clue on what postage would cost. I do have a R33 owners hand book, but it's in Japanese. But it still comes in handy now and then.

Nismodified Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Originally posted by nismoman18 ultimate is the stuff man, never heard of premium unleaded from BP, thats just the normal stuff. . Bp sell their "BP ultimate 98 octane" and a few BP places also sell "premium unleaded" which is 95 octane, instead of ultimate.

Pva_Glue Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I've been using Unleaded A O.K!!! :Pres-hit: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/24608-unleaded-or-premium-for-na/#findComment-526659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Dave Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 My old R33 GTS ran on regular unleaded, which is what was recommended in the Japanese Handbook. The handbook for my GT-V (RB25DE) recommends nothing but "Hi Oku", or premium unleaded. Incidently, it's commonly believed that the Japanese use 100 octane (RON) fuel over here. So far, I have yet to find a gas station that listed the ratings of the various fuels available, so it's hard to say for sure exactly what octane Japanese pump gas really is!
