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...

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.

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.

nah the handbook i got was an 8 page nuthing really, just had sum general things about the car, nuthin special really. I suggest u go to that website that skyla put on cos they are pretty cheap the workshop manuals, i would get one if i had the money to get it :D everything about the line would be simplified then at least!

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. :D

ight thanx guys...:burnout:

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.

Bp sell their "BP ultimate 98 octane" and a few BP places also sell "premium unleaded" which is 95 octane, instead of ultimate.

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!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
