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?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
