BP ultimate for me too. When i first got my skyline i was filling up with Optimax which i thought was pretty good, then decided to try Ultimate and just found it to be overall a better fuel, the car seemed to run a tad better and more milage. Hopefully im not imagining it but it sure seems that way.

I think this topic has been covered heaps of times. Anyway, i've been using Ultimate all the time but due to the rise in petrol, i've beeb forced to change to Optimax because i get the 8 cents discount from my Source card :P

Ultimate is the way to go actually :P

well if i buy premium i buy caltex premium but i have a frend taht works in a petro-chemical factory and he says thers no real difference in them unless you want to get a slight increase in power so i usually buy normal unleaded

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?

caltex's 98 is probably one of the best and this has been prooven many time.

also park petroliums 98 ethanol petrol is apparently up there beyond caltex 98 and bp ultimate has scored low marks.

depends what bucket your driving around.

some cars needs the higher octane

yet most people dont.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
