Hi guys (and gals)

Just got my hands on a nice R32 GTS-T. Completely as stock etc etc. Am lovin it so far but just have a quick question about fuel.

I have had a look at other topics about it but everyones askin about R33's.

Im not stupid so i gather BPUltimate/98octane fuel is the way to go (i am currently running this anyway)

However... How would using only 95 octane (standard premium, not ultimate) affect my engine. I dont plan on it anytime soon but just curious in case I'm strapped for cash at some point or something. And im not going near basic 91 unleaded. But yeah.

Feel free to driect me to another topic on the same thing (my search skills are somewhat limited as yet :blush: .

Thnx in advance

i just saw in the initial post where he said it was stock as a rock, so yeah, 95 should be fine without retarding the timing. i think the standard premium in japan is 96 ron. their standard unleaded is about 90 and their super premium is 100.

if you must run it on 95 octane fuel, retard the timing a bit. you will have less power, but it will make it safer on your engine

Just hijacking a bit...if the car's tuned for 98, but it's available, would 95 combined with a very light right foot work for the time being? Or is the engine going to start detonating regardless?

So basically I'm cool to run 95 even with a lead foot until I start with the mods?

Also as it is 'stock as a rock' would running 98 for the time being really give me that much difference. I know it cleans the injectors, engine etc and runs nicer... but doesnt normal premium do that to a degree as well?

Cheers

Yes. My car is tuned on 98 too.

I was stuck in gympie, didnt have enough fuel to get to the bp, so had to use the matilda=95ron or 91 ron can't remember.

I just had to cruise home on the motorway, nothing went boom, as long as you don't putting crazy amounts of load on the engine you will be fine. My DET didnt go over 15 :down:

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
