from the FAQ:

"Does Shell plan to put ethanol in any of its other fuel products?

Following the success of Shell Optimax Extreme and in support of the Federal Governments commitment to biofuels targets, our intention at this stage is to expand our use of ethanol. But, as there are some vehicles that are unable to use fuel containing ethanol, Shell does not plan to put ethanol in all petrol products"

Thoughts?

it contains 5% ethanol, so i'd be re-tuning your cars ASAP!!! there are no hard facts about this fuel yet, (regarding to how it affects your motor). we all know that it will run leaner, but exactly how much??? i would be very careful indeed.......

My GTR is in the shop now getting tuned for Boost98 (10% ethanol) as Extreme is not available in enough places to warrant switching to it.

I wont be able to give a direct comparison with normal 98octane as I am having other work done as well,only feedback from my tuner in regards to timing and fuel maps.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
