Ethanol effects

RAA on Ethanol

Nissan Statement

So - assuming Extreme doesn't go off like the 'old' fuel did, it should be fine. And the stock computers have two fuel maps, and the high octane map is supposedly for 100 Octane.

Thats a nissan Australia statement, not a nissan Japan statement. im guessing the majority of us would be using cars from over the big blue....

Last time I checked, Nissan Australia imported all their cars prebuilt from Japan, they werent made here in Australia :(

stopped in at Phillip tonight and saw Ultimate was back *yay*

so much for them sending an SMS when it was available :)

and to anyone using Vortex 98 from the Caltex at Braddon I wouldnt do it...someone I know with a high powered turbo car has been using it....his fuel pump stopped working and his mechanic said its the worst looking filter he has ever pulled out of a tank of a 15 month old car.

it might be ok at other servos...but anyway..

Ultimate's been back at Phillip since Monday or Tuesday I think, or wherever it was I filled up last

I'm quite pleased with how my car went with Synergy 8000, it actually seemed to give my car a bit better mileage than the Ultimate did.

After the stock computer has done its post-reset timing thing, I've never been able to tell the difference (performance wise) between Optimax, Ultimate, and stock 95 premium (Mobil). With the hi-octane fuels, the everyday initial performance after the motor has first warmed up is better, but after giving it a hard time they have all been pretty much the same.

However - I loaded up with Optimax Extreme last week, and the car's a farking rocket all of the time now... So I guess I have been dropping down to the low-octane fuel map most of the time. I think I will reset the computer again to see how that goes as well!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
