you'd think so, however they seem to think that they can guarentee the quality of their E85 and as such goes for a higher price... where as a servo fuel may have moisture in it.

Spewing the Effinue at Mawson lakes went bust, as the BP who bought them out no longer sell it at the pump.

The Liberty on Tapleys Hill Rd sells the 100ron. I put a tank of the stuff in my car around 3 or 4 weeks ago and the car felt sluggish and non responsive in comparison to BP Ultimate 98 and Shell V power, also only got around 470Kms from that tank in comparison to the norm which is 500-540 depending on if I give it a bit of shit.

Interesting you say that i put nearly a tank full in my XR6T running 16psi and it ran like a POS.

you guys do realise that you cant just put it in the car and expect gains from it.

it has to be tuned to suit.

Increasing by 2 points shouldn't make it run like a POS if it ran fine on BP 98 though......different story when decreasing by the same amount.

Apart from running slightly cleaner, the only issue by not tuning to the extra 2 points would be that you would not be taking advantage of the increased octane.

I stand to be corrected by the tuning gurus though. :)

Wouldnt of put in there if i didnt ask the tuner first, he said go for it so i did and it was crap.

That's a fair point, but I wouldn't expect the car to run like shit though with bad fuel economy.

Pete, I believed the 100RON stuff actually has ethanol in it; hence the need for re-tuning

this might explaine it.... (its releated to e85 blends)

Depending on the ratio you could try a lower octane ULP , remember all extra octane in ULP does is make the fuel MORE difficult to ignite and that means for the ignition system too .

All you need octane wise is enough to prevent detonation and that's all , any extra in the ULP is a disadvantage not an advantage .

My sputnik Subaru EA82T engine gets better fuel consumption on 1/3 95 ULP and 2/3 91 ULP than it did on 95 or 98 ULP , it feels better doesn't detonate and costs less too . Bonus ?

If it's not rattled neither am I , A .

been told by tuners all e85 tunes up the same and i think the whole different moisture levels is a bit bs... there is a reason why they need special pumps/tanks for e85 and it can't be any worse than storing it in a drum??

yeah bang for buck it's pretty good, ( be better on E85, diff go's bang ) not bad for a daily

2 points higher, if it was actually higher, would make it run a bee's dick richer, hardly worth plugging the laptop in but!

so it's not like the Shell 100 of old then.....possibly makes sense then.

In that case, just stick to the proven (and stable) winner, BP 98............or go E85 as Adrian, Lee & Matt have.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
