Caltex Vortex 98. But any 98 RON fuel is going to be better for your engine than 95 RON premium or normal unleaded. Increased power and or better economy (depending how you drive it) and perhaps even more importantly less sh#tty deposits on your injectors inlet manifold/ head ports and plugs.

Not sure a higher RON value is going to make for a better or cleaner fuel. You can take a shit fuel and add octane booster and it still will be a shit fuel. I used Vortex for a while because it was close and easy but t.b.h. it's not that great. I've had better economy and much better performance from BP Ultimate. If I use anything else after ½ tank the difference becomes noticable.

Yes I agree, I'm using Caltex 98 recently because of the Safeway promotion and only get 150km around the half-tank mark! Used to use Mobil 98 which brought me at least 200+ km.

I've tried Shell and BP - they are both alright, but Mobil seems the most consistent with my V35.

BP 98+ or Mobile 8000 when I'm going for a decent drive or to the track, V-Power for the rest of the time.

Just bugs me that around my area BP 98+ is usually about 15c a litre more than V-Power (plus another 4c if I have a fuel discount coupons from Coles/Shell) and no Mobil stations with 8000 (98RON). Because the V35 definitely 'feels better' using BP/Mobil and gave about 1.1 - 1.2km/l better fuel economy on my Syd to Melb trips according to the 'green leaf-o-meter'... though I probably not advise you take those results as science!

which fuel do you use to fill up ?

BP Ultimate :rofl: ....reason being is that its a cleaner fuel then the rest of them and the only fuel that has a green house tick on this fuel. correct me if iam wrong. it depands on the individual car and their set up.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
