the answer to your question is:

use whatever fuel you can get to that is as close to the jap-spec 100RON as possible

after all, that's what the car tuned for. If you have had it re-tuned then that's a different question (as ferni said) as it may have been optimised for our 98RON

cheers,

Warren.

It will die for sure on 91 octane.  You have been warned.

You need the best 98 octane you can find unless you have retuned it.

thanks for this info...i thought a skyline would need premium...so i've accepted the fact that fuel is gonna cost me....lovely

Yes Optimax is 98 Octane Premium, Shell also sell "Premium Unleaded" which is 95.

BP, Caltex and Mobil all sell 95 Octane as well as 98 octane (Ultimate, Vortex 98 and 9000 are the 98). Different locations might carry either or sometimes even both the good nad bad stuff

I know its a bit O/T, but did you see on the news, fuel jumped 5c today! WTF? Why?

on sunday i was on my way home from work, got back into my suburb and drove past shell. pump price on Unleaded was 1.11c. on my way to work just 4 hours earlier, it was about 1.18c or something, so i went home, got a 4c off voucher and filled up for 1.07

it stayed at 1.11 for about 2 days, and then on the way home from work, i noticed the pump price at the same servo at 1.23! thats a 12cent jump!

i heard the fuel companies took off the discount to kill off all the independant/local fuel companies??? (dont know if thats true)

So, you would damage an R33 GTS N/A if you ran it on regular unleaded??

If 98 RON Premium is a must, is there any fuel saver options for this car? I'm not fussed with performance loss.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
