hey guys,just wanted to know because im always using BP ultimate but i hardly ever boost my skyline im more of a take a relaxing drive kind of person always keeping it under boost.

so would premium 95 be alright to run as long as im not boosting the crap out of it?

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?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
