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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
