They are tuned to run on 98. 95 requires different timing, so running a 98-tuned engine on 95 is not going to be efficient.

some Hardcore GT-R owners have actually sent samples of australian 98 RON fuel to tuning companies in japan along with thier ECU's

and what happened? see there's no end to this story. i want to know what the jap tuners said when they saw the aus 98 ron.

and why would they send their ecu and fuel over to japan anyway? i assume for a tune. which means they believe not a single aus tuner can match a jap tuner for tuning. i find that hard to believe.

nah no conclusion.

this was on the GT-R article on HPI.

a guy from Queensland by the name of Chris Neale. No plate#: CCNOO

the article only stated "Chris actually sent petrol samples and weather statistics to TOP SECRET in Japan so they could supply a custom-tuned ECU to suit, So that the car runs perfectly on Normal 95- Octane Premium fuel at 1.3bar."

that was an R33, he has since upgraded to an R34....

nope...... no conclusion.

on a slightly related note i noticed that one of the local BP's has taken out their 95 octane premium bowsers and replaced them with e10 unleaded ones!!! :action-smiley-069: I hope this isnt the start of a trend!

who gives a shit? srsly stop being pussehs.... e1o will NOT hurt cars.... its been like that in europe since forever....

not to mention i run my car on 85% ethanol and the only "side effect" is an extra 40kw

umm e10 91 octane? you can keep it thanks, I've used e10 98 in my old VN and a few times in my R32, and for some reason it makes them not want to start and to then use EVEN MORE fuel than before. Maybe if I had it tuned for that fuel, but I don't think anything from United will be sullying my petrol tank again anytime soon.

You should also mention that your car has presumably also been tuned to run E85, and can no longer run normal fuel...

Ethanol-based fuel is fine to use if your car is set-up to run it, and the pumps/tanks/fittings at the service station you get it from are designed to store ethanol fuel. Ethanol, however, is also hygroscopic - it attracts and absorbs water - and the resulting corrosion caused inside the motor (and any corrosion picked up from the service station's storage tanks) can mean a complete strip down and rebuild if the average Joe Blow just puts in the tank of his Commodore time after time without really considering the facts. My sister was in this exact situation - she and her husband have a VY Commodore which needed a rebuild at 65,000km and when the Holden technicians opened up the motor and saw the damage, that was the first question they asked.

well here we have United which has E10 95 and 98, and now one of the BP's is phasing in what appears to be E10 91 instead of the 95 Premium they used to have. Like i said before, my commodore took a good two or 3 goes on that stuff to get started (skyline does anyway gotta live microtech's and their cold starts), and the fuel consumption is increased noticeably. Apparently ethanol can eat your fuel lines too or something?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
