if a major provider offered a higher octane at at least most of it's servo's i'd get my gtr tuned for it now. only reason i never got it tuned for the 100 octane stuff shell was selling is because only a few servo's did it. nearest one to me being a 20minute drive

I would just stick to 98.

I believe the cars which are imported from Japan get a tune to our AUS fuel...

That 100 Octane did not make much of a difference in some cars unless it was tuned for it.

Hi all,

I have a 33 s1 and i only use 98 octane

95 is dirt for any jap car (pings+++) and from what i gathered from using ethonol blended fuels...........well..................i stalled when i was going around a corner, lost power stearing and it was very interesting from then onwards!!

I have been using BP fuel only and it has worked a treat so far. I think with fuel its simple...............what you pay for is what you get, its that simple.

Regards, Evan

tune is dependant on your tuner :P

other than that i just need datalogit now :P

I'm seriosuly looking at it now. I'm just a tad worried about my fuel system. 800 CC injectors and a Nismo intank pump enough to supply 400 + KW at the treads on E85?

couldn't say... but i'd say it'll be aight

what's you max injector duty cycle?

guilt toy has been doing a bit of testing and he recons my 555's should see me to 300rwkw

Ohh... 87-88%. Hmmm thinking about it i dont think i have the fuel system to handle it. DAMMIT!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
