i don't think that u should be putting regular unleaded in the car mate...always use 98 octane fuel.

Performance engines, especially turbos need higher octane in the fuel - don't know the specifics, but yeah, u probably don't want to keep runnin regular

I run optimax, which is 'up to 98 octane' , and the car still stalls.

most people use the (premium) fuel that they have used -problay since there first car and stick with it and allways will but with my little knowledge on chev's and v8's and have been an ulltimate user i was proven wrong with senergy ,8000 just like i was with playing with them $$$v8$$$ any way we dont want every 1 to use the same fuel then the price 4 the favourite bang juice will go bang :sadam:

hey,

So these posts are 10 years old now, anyone have any new thoughts on fuel they use and any changes over the years? Back in 2003-04 used Shell in the R32 Gt-R never had a problem. My New R 33 will be on the road in a couple of weeks, was wondering what everyone uses now?

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
