I fill up at Calwell, and haven't had a problem. Only places I don't go are United, etc.

old but how come you dont trust United ?? they seem to offer the most consitent e85 so i would think the 100ron is good i put this stuff in today and my car felt good hopefully its not short lived.

I realise that one tank isn't enough to conclude that there's nothing wrong with it, but by the look of it a lot of people here are concluding it (among other fuels) are BAD based upon one tank.

One full tank should give a laymans experience of the fuel. A couple of tanks will give a clear indication of your engine being farked by it.

Point in fact.

Shell decided to put out a fuel for older vehicles that couldn't go unleaded. It farked my engine in my car of the time. In fact many cars were shagged although Shell did not have to pay for the farked engines but instead withdrew the fuel from sale after about 1-2 years.

True story. Not a friend of a friend of an uncles of mine. It happend to me :rant:

on the first and only tank full of this fuel too.

For pretty well any vehicle that conversation here will speak of, the ethanol will not have any negative impact on the fuel lines. People have been running e85 through their stock fuel lines for years with no problems.

Finished my tank today forgot to take down how much millage it does, but i noticed that the engine bay is a lot less hotter than it usually is. Running BP98 and i flogged it up monaro just to confirm this and yes its a lot cooler maybe i should measure the manifold temperature with 98RON and do the same with 100RON.

I usually fill up at the Kambah Caltex - across the road from the Kambah Village. Never had a problem, they fill up their tanks at night so avoid filling up when the tanker is nearby.

Otherwise the fuel there seems to be consistent, it was all re-done not long ago too so new pumps/hoses etc, has to be better than old gear.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
