It's fine. But unless it's the only fuel available, there's no point in using it.

91 all the way for a DE. There will be little to no benefit running 98 or 100 ron fuel.

10:1 is hardly high compression.

A 2ZZ-FE in a base model Corolla is 10.0:1 and requires 91 only. A Lancer VR-X is 10.5:1 and only requires 91. XT Falcon, 10.3:1 and only requires 91.

I'm not sure what makes the 25DE require higher RON fuel?

"Requires" and "runs best on" are two very different things though.

My VQ35de Stagea is 10.3:1 comp and requires a minimum of 95 although I will only be using the United 100 (and maybe a 98 every now and then).

The Wife's 380is 10.0:1 and "requires" only 91, but I can tell you that there is a massive difference when you run 95 and then an even larger jump when running 100 (as per the timing advance and engine load display via Torque on my phone).

Aren't the tuned for the use of Japans fuel?

Which is higher in octane than here?

They are the AU delivered ones, and of course a Falcon. They require 91 RON that we get here.

I think you'll find it's mostly placebo affect.

Most ECUs don't have enough scope for self tuning to make any user of higher RON fuel. Note, I said most. I'd be surprised if an RB25DE could.

I too would be surprised if the RB25de ecu could make use of the higher octane fuel, but no harm in using a better fuel for a couple of bucks per tank IMO.

No placebo effect with regards to the two cars listed above (particularly the 380 - cleaver little ecu that one) although I am talking about 2005 ecu's as opposed to a late 90's ecu.

RB25DE on an R34 requires minimum of 95RON - Says on the manufacturer's brochure and on the manual. But if you need emergency fuel, I can't see any reason why 91 would cause major issues for short term use.

Oddly enough I still get some pinging on 95 and throttle response is not as crisp :unsure:

I always fill 98 myself - No pings and better economy. But I must stress the price of 98 will not make it cheaper to run vs. running 95.

Filling up with 100 or higher is a waste imho.

I believe by filling 98 you will be hitting the limits of the stock ECU and sensors - Filling 98 just guarantees you are definatly well within the 95+ range.

pretty sure their base fuel isn't any higher than here, they just have a premium fuel that is higher than what we have here. so they still have 91 octane fuel over there.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
