My r32 gtst isn't on the road at the moment but when I had it tuned he said only to run BP Ultimate fuel..

After searching through the forums a bit I've found that BP and Shell are pretty much the same.

So if I fill up with Shell 98 will my car run like crap?

(Closest BP is about 30min drive from where I live, compared to Shell 5min walk)

I've read (but have no idea whether it is true) that 7/11 use Mobil fuel, so 7/11 98 is actually Mobil 98 which wasn't too bad to fill up on in the past, again from searching here.

Hmm.. Might just grab a jerry can and grab some BP Ultimate.. Don't think I have enough fuel to make it there aha

OK first of all

how modified is the GTST?

my 32 with a 25 - 366 whp it was tuned on 98 BP but i had no issues on shell 98 or caltex 98 etc

Nothing too special.

High mount t04e with external gate

3" exhaust 4" cannon

Pod filter

Pretty big FMIC

Tuned by chiptorque 171kw :/

That's about it.

Since you are in Qld , the fuel will be sourced from BP Bulway Island or Caltex Lytton ,

So, your saying any 98 RON is fine in Qld?

Because he even siphoned the old 98 out, swap fuel filter for a new one and put full tank of BPultimate in, free of charge..

He did that so to make sure the fuel in the tank is new and fresh, which is what's best to tune on.

Also to keep the RON up.

BP or Shell 98 RON will do you fine.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
