I've run 2 tanks through the GTR since I discovered it..

I've noticed the following difference in the cars performance changing from optimax/bp ultimate:

- no more popping! the car does not pop at all anymore. previously it was running quite rich and popping about once per gear change

- the car is a lot smoother

- the engine is more quiet

- the car pulls a lot better

I did a search on here, and must admit the user comments about this product is pretty dissapointing so far. Particularly those who have not tried it putting in their stupid opinion.

Cheers.

Ok i have run a tank....

My check engine light flashed fairlly often recording a knock level of 70 or so under boost....

Same settings on regular 98 (oltimate or optimax) and i can only just get to 20 knock level....

So i will NOT be using it again....

Unless you tune on it dont use it.... Use the fuel that your car was tuned on.

Thats funny, i noticed instantly running quite high boost (20psi) with this new fuel, that my knock has come down quite alot. I will do some more testing but on high boost with 98 fuel, i used to see knock in the 90's, so far ive seen this drop to 60. Save me taking some timing out of her.

col: i would imagine you would have to get it tuned for the stuff.. thats what everybody has been saying..

then once you do you keep having to use it, so you are stuffed again.. for that reason don't think i'll be using it for a while. That's probably what everybody else is thinking too, so nobdody will adopt it and they'll give up?

We'll see I guess :D

Yeah im sticking to 98....

I stuffed up my pfc today playing with it to tune for 100 ron....

Ended up just reseting it and putting the standard ecu back in....

I just need to go to mercury to get it tuned properly....

I have lost so much power...

Now i have my injectors i can finally bolt up the new turbo... But now i have to re consider my plenium....

Anyways back to the point... Ill stick to 98 due to lack of supply of 100ron....

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
