Last week I had my GTR tuned on Boost98 for a dyno figure of 351rwkw.I used Boost98 after reading the article in HPI by Martin Donnon.

The car ran great with knock readings in the mid 30's,till the weather got hot,where I recorded low 70's.Nigel(Ice Performance) suggested we retard the timing 2 degrees and see what happens.Single digit knock,so we tried 1 degee retarted,where we got mid teens and left it there.The car is going back in for cam timing adjustments,so I just adjusted the timing in the settings screen,I had to do it every time I restarted the car.

Today,I was near a Shell servo that stocks Extreme100,so I thought I would fill up(47 litres) and test it out.I am now running 3 degrees advanced over the original setting on Boost98,thats 4 degrees more timing!!!!! and recording mid teens on the knock sensor.

I will be using this fuel on my next tune in the New year,highly recommended.

Between now and my next tune,I will try Ultimate to see how it compares.

There are 2 Ethanol fuels.E10 has 10% and is sold by United as Boost98 and E5 has 5% and is sold by Shell as Extreme100.

Dyno figures are bound to go up dramatically as we had 365rwkw and had to knock out some timing using the obviously inferior Boost98.The 100 octane Extreme looks very very promising,allowing 4 degrees of extra timing while keepoing the knock lower,should also allow a little more boost.

Cnr Warrigal Rd and Centre Dandenong Rd Cheltenham,near DFO.

There are 5 shell servos on Burwood Hwy and 1 in St Albans as well.

thanks for that.

burwood hwy is a bit out of the way for me, so i'll have to try my luck in st albans.

Generally you loose power with ethanol blended fuels, so you have to advance the timing to get some of the power back. The good thing is, with careful tuning you can get good gains over the regular 98 RON stuff.

New 100octane shell fuel with 5% ethonal is what you want. you will not lose any power , you will gain timing,response and power.

I did some research ito fuel octane and detonation and have to wonder why the ethanol was added . I sort of though that the alcohol helped to make any condensation soluble but I'm beginning to wonder if slower burning high octane fuels need a bit of help at the cold start phase . The mighty 3 cyl G11 ran like a hairy goat at the first cold start on the Shell 100 but runs fine on it now . If anything it make a little better part throttle torque and the choke (showing its age here) is never needed .

It will be interesting to see if the other flavours of 100 octane fuels will have ethanol in them .

Cheers A

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
