Drive KMs on end just to find a BP with ULTIMATE, only to find how long my Fuel light lasts.  

BP everytime!

If not ill goto a Shell

likewise to find optimax...... only used optimax in the 2-3months ive had the skyline, but only optimax for the last 3yrs in my SP20, with regular service never had a single problem

Check which refinery sharing program runs in your state to find out what fuels you really buy. Most of the premiums come from the same refineries for all servos in some states.

I think it's a better idea to buy from servos with a higher turnover for 'fresher' fuel.

This topic has been done - do a search! :(

I use BP ultimate only for the ceifro. If I absolutely have to I'll use optimax.

In my daily and previous leaded car I only ever used optimax.

Stay away from the fake high octante (I think it's vortex or something that's not 98ron?)

Definately BP ultimate. Like most people use optimax as a 2nd choice. As someone mentioned you need to pick a servo that has higher usage that way the fuel isnt old. I found BP ultimate to be more consistant that optimax.

I dont think its a matter of skylines being tempremental, but and turbo car its fairly important. Most people here have some sort of mods, and running leaner and with more timing and boost than from factory it is more important.

I've been using BP Ultimate for about 3 years now, no problems! But according to a test done in Autosalon magazine about 2 months ago Shell Optimax had a slightly higher octane reading (98.6) compared with BP, Mobil and Caltex (98.5). They claimed that their tests were done by an independent laboratory.

"Oh no, it's the cops!"

"Worse, the police cops!"

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
