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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
