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.

    • 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.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
