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.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
