98RON would be the best thing you can put in it. I used Shell V-Power for a year, then switched to BP Ultimate when I had the conversion and dyno tune done. Both are good in my experience, never had any issues.

shouldnt be any differences.

some people mention that one is better than the other, put either or in your car, as long as your not getting any pinging, then i wouldnt worry about which brand of fuel you get, just as long as it's 98ron at a minimum

Is the tune stock ?

If so the 95 from any will be fine (it is cleaner and has less shit in it than 91)

If the car has been tuned to run 98 (no cars run a standard 98 tune other than after 2003) then you need to stick with 98, or the thing will ping like shit (detonation) and end up hurting the engine.

In my book 98 is the cleanest, best option - even if the car hasn't been specifically tuned to run on it the engine management will make good use of it after a while.

Prior to entering the turbo scene i ran a modified LS1 (making 360kw RW) in a VY 1 tonner as an everyday work and play.

It had all the frills and was given a birthday (with the upgrades) at around 80,000klms - and up to that point had run on 91. When the heads came off the engine was that full of crap (carbon) and the injection system/inlet manifold was full of pasty, nasty shit that would amaze most.

After the rebuild (with dart heads, 10.8 to one comp and stout camshaft) with a new engine management system the ute ran only 98 and was pulled down at 260,000 klms for a tidy up pre-sale. The heads, injection and manifold were as clean as - and the thing had seen a lot of shitty conditions running between Brissy and the Bowen Basin around the coalfields in NQ.

I've always used 98RON predominantly BP but with BP servo's diminishing I'm now having to switch over the Mobil's Synergy 8000 or Freedom's E10 Hi Octane 98 as both servo's are on my commute to work.

Just got 645K's out of my first tank of 8000. Was getting roughly 620-630 with Ultimate.

Am interested to see how Freedom's fuel goes.

When i first got my line i thought yea it will use 91 as every other car normally does. My car ran like absolute shit. would ping its head off had no power and misfired like crazy. so straight back to the servo to fil up with 98 and has beenn runing like a dream ever since.

For a non-turbo R34 (I'd imagine for all other non-turbo R31, 32, 33 would be the same).

You only need 93 RON (shown in the original owners manual and written on the fuel cap) - so 95 should be ok if you are on a budget or if 98 is not available.

However...

I did notice with 95 I still got pinging, some power flat spots in the lower rev range and the car tended to drink more. I've soley used 98 with no problems. You will still get very slight pinging every now and then on long uphills.

I recommend spending the few extra dollars on fuel as opposed to thousands of dollars and inconvenience of engine damage.

I wouldn't dare use 91 inless you are really stuck and have no other fuel available - Only use it for "limping" home/next servo that has premium.

      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.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
