I'm on my 4th tank now and overall it find it better than 98. It's a bit inconsitent though. On my 1st and third tanks it was better on a full tank but on 2nd and expecially my fourth it was better towards the end. Anyone else have similar issues?

All 3.

It's hard to tell about the consuption coz I've been fanging it twice as hard with the slightly better take off and smoother gear changes. Couln't help myself. (Og...and I got around the same K's to a tank than when I was not fanging it on 98)

I got a tankful the other day. I drive a stock r33 s11.

Have to admit that the car goes noticeably better, with the biggest gains experienced at mid revs (probably because of my restrictive exhaust), but it's def got more torque.

Potential for better economy when doin the granny thing.

I'm just scared of it eating away the plastic components of my fuel system, so i'll only be using it every once in a while. I saw that thread that showed the pics of hardware that's eaten away in ethanol. Not a pretty sight.

5% ethanol. Is that really an amount to be worried about?

No sir, I don't like it. I have shelled out money on our Mazda here for new valves and seats because of Ethanol. WOn't touch my Skyline. Not for an extra 2 RON and not for the imaginary 20kw (I don't believe it).

No sireeee.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
