NOOOO!

Dont use United petrol. Its shithouse. This is why its cheaper.

My brother used it in Victoria a little while ago. The whole trip back to Canberra, every time we had an overtaking pass it would PING like crazy.

Just use VORTEX!!

Well i was asking coz BOOST 98 has ethanol in it n it is actually good to clean out fuel system, coz it was on the magazine as they tested it out n they rated it very high but they warn modified engines coz it hasto be tuned to ethanol but because united bought it out every1 is gunna think its shit coz "UNITED" petrol station but shell is starting to supply the BOOST 98 petrol. Once it goes out to the major petrol stations every1 might start using it.

If a magazine said it, it must be true. :O

Have any of these magazine tests shown the effects of ethanol use in older cars?

Most people would simply retard their timing if the car was "pinging like crazy"....

To continue hammering the car while there is audible pinging is just silly.

Sounds more like driver ignorance than a petrol issue.

If you are happy to run 10% ethanol, be my guest.

If you have any problems with it, please share them.

there was a similar discussion about the optimax extreme (100 octane, 5% ethanol) recently.

The only reason I don't is because of general availability. I put a few country k's on any car I own.

How much of the fuel system (tank -> pump -> lines -> fuel filter -> hoses(s) -> injectors) is plastic / rubber? that would be my concern.

good on you. I hope for the best

Be nice and "listen to Nissan".  Mmmm poetry.

Don't they also say use only genuine nissan parts?

And as for their stand on (gasp) a modified car...

(hang on - thats recycled from the thread on optimax extreme)

So if you skyline still has new car warranty, don't use ethanol.

and run the odd bottle of injector cleaner through as well (from a mate - probably not gospel)

      RB gearbox options

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.

      VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:

      It's used in the GT-R, GTST/GTT, and Z32 VG30 NA + TT versions. Nissan still makes them new, they're not cheap but they're not expensive either. Personally I would just get something direct-fit and be done with it but I'm not that handy at fabrication.

      FS5R30A the nav box isn’t it? I did think about those. Any issues? I wondered if the bell housing off an rb30 patrol would work as they are the same gearbox but with a transfer I believe.
