Hey guys,

I know there are threads about this but I havnt been able to find any relatively new ones.

I have a R33 GTST which is stock. What fuel do you guys use? Most Unleaded fuel above 91 is 5% ethanol or 10% ethanol...apparently this isnt good for the car.

Thoughts?

....who told you that information? When on Unleaded was on 98 or if couldn't get 98 was on 95. Am now on E85 but that's a different story.

Regarding economy - that all depends on your right foot and style of driving.

It says it on the pump, talks about the benefits of ethanol blend. I believe Shell's 95 doesn't have ethanol, not 100% sure but I know the liberty's do which is unfortunate as they're usually the cheapest.

You should be running 98 minimum. The 100 octane ethanol blends are fine and in most cases better. You will pick up quite a bit of midrange response.

Oh right yeah I wanted to see what experiences people have had with the blended fuels.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
