Unleaded or Premium for N/A?

[RTHRTY3]

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...

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

[skyla]

run it on premium unleaded, 98 octane if you can get it, in Japan they run them on 100+ octane.

[NA_R33]

yep premium for sure, i get at least 50km's better consumption on a tank of premium.

[Nismodified]

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.

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]

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]

Thanx for clearing that up man. By the way where did you get the user or owner's manual from, i really need one aye (an english version) and for how much for? Is there on online site or somethin?

Cheers dude...

[skyla]

try, jpnz have workshop manuals, they also have an online store if you want to order one. have a look here

[nismoman18]

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 everything about the line would be simplified then at least!

[RTHRTY3]

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:

[skyla]

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.

I've been using Unleaded A O.K!!! :Pres-hit:

[Demon Dave]

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!

Hi Oku Man dank desu ne!!!

I dont think it really metters does it? as long as you use premium unleaded for while so you clean injectors, or just use injectors...

it up to you, at the end of the day its your car and Money
