cbf going back 7 pages so....I have a question I gather from the first 4 pages that fuel economy is heavier on "e" fuel, question is how much is it per ltr? anyone done the maths? any financial benifit at all?

If it's only a couple of cents cheaper per ltr and you have to change tune to suit the product thus limiting yourself to good performance on a atm not to widely available fuel why would you bother?

Cost per ltr pls...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Mmm methanol....used a blend of it for many yrs in my street cars.

Only probs it caused me were the sore cheeks caused by grinning so much from the hp gains :)

that new 100 octane shit is cheaper?

I'd be pissed off if it isn't...after all that was the initial motivation for blended fuels.

still waiting for a per ltr price....anyone?

At Caloundra Shell ----->

Unleaded last night was 1.07pr ltr

Optimax last night was 1.13pr ltr

Optimax extreme was 1.20pr ltr

I put some in my daily driver pulsar and i honestly think that the normal optimax is better, the lil pulsar just didnt seem to have kick it used to when running normal optimax, and honestly for the extra $$$ it cost i wont be using it. As for my skyline i will probably stay away from the extreme untill maybe the price comes down enough to be worth it

Wait, so let me get this straight, the 100 has the same amount of "petrol" or less than the 98, has ethanol, which the media are raving about how it is cheaper, and costs 7 cents more? f**k that for a joke! They're making a pretty penny off that!

Btw, where do you live? Optimax is like 1.30 here :mellow:

government mate, government taxes, they'd tax your shit paper, and used shit paper if they could. Wait, they probably do, sewerage treatment fees or some crap

Bwahahaha........it's more expensive and not just by a cent or 2, biggest joke this year, way to ease the every increasing costs of fuel by introducing blended fuels.

Die Liberal scum........die!!!!!

hang on, its more expensive because Shell are selling it as a premium fuel.

it has nothing to do with the price of ethanol or govt taxes.

the point about ethanol is that it is cheaper than petrol. It is up to shell how they use it from there.

I haven't used it yet, but fully intend to. I think the ethanol issue is being *way* overplayed in this thread.....it is 1/20th of what you are buying = bugger all.

It seems that fact that shell have oxygenated the fuel is having a much bigger impact than the ethanol content.

*edit* yes it is shell not BP :mellow:

Im in queensland, Brisbane and sometimes the Sunshine Coast.

I actually filled up my lil pulsar on 98cents the last monday without petrol saver too, I nearlly had a tear in my eye when i saw the price. Under $1 it was a special moment, optimax was only 1.04 too.

Cheers Pete

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
