Power FC Knocks at about 35 on shell optermax BP Knocks at 25 Max

any thing other 40+ ;(

I know this question can open a can of worms. But i have heard from a few  

guys that optimax is bad then bp is another and also vortex is pretty good. Just wanna hear your view.

BTW also any other fuels that u have noticed.

i have not used Shell Obtimax yet but i did my own lil test and found out that i get more Mileage from BP premium rather then BP ultimate

i have no idea why.

Sorry to bring this up again

but did any of you watch Current Affair this week where they did the petrol test

they tested the different petrol’s and found the same with my above quote!

ive only ever put bp ulitmate in my car, i reckon it runs good on it... although i havnt tested every fuel available so i couldnt really say, tryed vortex once coz i couldnt find a bp, didnt seem to be much difference in response at all.

sydneykid: how do you know which state has what refineries and how many there are? do you work for a fuel company or something? not having a go, just curious to know.

give bp premium a go you will be surprised

Give Expensomax a go, you'll 'also' be surprised!!

Just ran another tank of Ultishit through the line after 6 weeks (thought I'd be surprised), well, nup!! Low economy and less pull in second and 3rd. Back to expensomax, after 2 fills, all is good again. (not surprised at this either).

How could the graph be soooooo one sided, ...I mean this forum contains mostly keen and smart drivers, so I guess the general populus must know what they're on about!! Would've thought maybe a 60-40 for Ultra crap, not the current trend though!! Emeeeysink!! :confused:

Expensomax? Don't you use the dockets? You might wanna start calling it Fourcentoffmax... or Cheapomax (not that they're so cheap) ;)

I think it all depends which servo you're filling in. Based on what effect I felt

on car performance after I refill:

BP on Heidelberg Rd has better fuel than the nearby Shell on the same road,

Shell on Bell St Preston has better fuel than this Heidelberg Shell,

Mobil in Racecourse Rd feels better than the Mobil in Coburg's Bell St, and

and the BP & Shell in Sunbury feels both has equal quality.

Yo not to take a stab at u,but you say that you are to cool for a docket,so you would rather rip yourself off then save $2.

What happens when you are on your 25th tank im sure it would save you a few tanks worth in a line per yr.Especially if your foot had lead in it.

Obviously you dont do the shopping. :confused:

Cant see why i would want take 1.why are u offering to do it for me.

If premium were better to use we would all be using it.But we dont.I think it's just a price thing.Bang 4 buck thing.Somthing 1 would get their car tuned on if they were peterol price concious.:pimp:

yo, who's the 'cool' one bro's!!??

I don't do my shopping at the relevant brand shops to get the dockets to get the $2.00(????) off the expensomax!! Did u consider that, yo?

I'm no lead foot, I get more value that way than the crappy few cents redeemed on a docket!! (but hey, each to their own way of doing their financials!!)

Obviously also not considered?

Also, where did I state that I "was too cool"?

NB. notice the 'too' is correctly used in this sentence?

And, what does happen on my '25th tank', yo?

Not taking a stab bro's, but feck dat!! :( and have a great day!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
