Hey all,

just wondering which petrol you all choose to use and which petrol you reckon is the best? i know this has been talked about before, but i think it makes for an interesting discussion.....

i currently only use BP Ultimate, but am thinking of making the switch to the Mobil Synergy 8000 (spelling?), as it has now become avaliable in canberra. which of these too would be the better fuel?

Im not a skyline :) ,but front the same issues with fuel I'd imagine. I get BP Ultimate first choice and Synergy 8000 second. I find those 2 both equally good fuels, so long as they are from high turnover stations. Synergy is usually just a bit dearer. Optimax if desperate and only enough to get me out of trouble.

i heard somewhere that Vortex 98 is just re-badged Optimax...... :)

do they use ethanol in 98 ron fuel? i read a press release that stated ethanol was only used in the regular unleaded. i wasn't at the launch, so correct me if im wrong......

Bp ultimate, runs the best... ive tried synergy 8000 and found it gets hardly any kms out of it.. but runs awsome!!! (Only just released a few weeks ago here)... optimax if its only what i can find.. the car hessitates on this fuel though, and anything less then 98.. so i try my hardest not to put it in.

I use Ultimate. If I fill up with Synergy 8000 I get poor performance and the ECU pulls timing and activates the boost cut to lower the boost to 0.7bar occasionally. I never have this problem with Ultimate.

I will never touch Synergy again.

it's funny cause in the GTI-R and Soarer and the GTR too I've tried:

optimax

ultimate

synergy 8000

I can't really pick any difference between the three. if i had to choose a winner i guess i'd say synergy 8000 but that could just be the placebo effect of it being the most expensive of the 3. I've certainly never experience any poor running on any of the above.

    • 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.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
