Well finally, Shell V-Power has landed in WA to compete with the likes of BP Ultimate 98 and Caltex Vortex 98.

Anyone tried it yet, apparently it has been available at some sites across Perth already for the last few days.

I know I tried it in the R34 GTR when I was living in Melbourne and did notice some difference.

Benefits of v-power over bp ultimate?

Went to the little shindig they had on riverside drive last friday but yeah, only went for the remote control car racing.

They talked about it being better because it keeps valves clean... isn't that what ultimate is supposed to do anyway?

We even have stupid laws that prevent the widespread distribution of E85 etc :(

On the plus side (or negative side depending on how you look at it), we have one of the most loose P-plater laws with no car restrictions at all. I was driving my R33 GTS-T 2 weeks after I got my Ps... :whistling:

Cheaper, especially if you use those 4c Coles shopping dockets...

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
