Unless you guys missed I was being sarcastic about toluene doing things to your neigbours dog etc..

Anyone telling you that it rots fuel lines is misinformed at best and at worst an 'idiot' (one who is politically ignorant from ancient greek language).

Plenty of myths about on this stuff touted by people who know nothing about the use and who most definately have never used the stuff.

Every time I see a comparison between toluene and bottle based octane boosters it makes me laugh, they are so full of crap.

ok, today i fill up using Shell Fuel and Octance Booster, the Octance booster says its boost up octance by 70points, which is like 7ron correct? so i should be running just around 100ron

im going to way a few days let the fuel get into the system and see how its goes.

70 points??? I think the printers must have farked up.  Most octane boosters only claim 3 to 4 points, which is barely noticeable anyway, if at all.

Thats what i through must be a mistake, but i check most of the bottles and they all say 7ron (70 points); i would have never pick but it was on specail so it was cheaper than normal (i think its something like $20-$30 for a bottle normaly)

I dont really think i will get +7ron but if i get atlest +2 or +3 i will be happy

p.s i dont know if u remember be steve but i was at the drift prac dude in grey r33, i talk to you abit and u gave me some good tips. Im michael aka mikey :D

Yeah mikey look at the bottle again, I think it might say 7 points not 7 RON. What did you actually buy? I have tried stuff from supercheap when I dragged my Pintara down the Motorplex for fun, got 18 sec! Heheh.

ahaha i just check again for you guys Boosts octance to 7 numbers RON (70 points)

its called pro strength octance booster

whats the fuel/booster mix needed to get the 7 extra RON points?

1bottle per litre? :P

FYI, if your super desperate to put 98 RON fuel in your car the tiger kart club (the one next to the ole MC) has Optimax for 33$ per 20L drum. They use it for their karts in certain classes.

says 500Ml for 60L, but i did 500mL for 40L ahahaa

$33 / 20 L ??? OMG. Izzin't that 82.50 for a full tank of 50 lits ??? SHEESH!

I paid $78 to fill up once, that was when it was $1.47 a litre for 98. :P

Have to put Shell premium in mine tomorrow, got under a quarter of oh so good 98 left......... :D

p.s i dont know if u remember be steve

Yep, certainly do remeber you :) nice car and some nice driving too.

Serioulsly guys, tolulene is your friend, your car will love you for using it :O And if your thinking of paying lots for fuel, I can also recommend elf LMS, 102 RON and at $5.50 per litre, it is awesome stuff if you have the money.

Oh, and I found some cheap tolulene at Westfuels, $66 for 20L :)

Update on Premium Fuel Availability

BP has advised that their refinery is now back up and running. They will be supplying premium unleaded petrol and 98 Ron (marketed at BP sites as 'Ultimate') to retail sites as of today. It may take a few days for all sites to be fully stocked, so to be sure fuel is available, you should contact the site first.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
