i reckon its rated at 85 ron hahahahha!

Can you use it? well that depends. when you open your fuel cap, does it say "Premium unleaded only", or does it say "put some water, kerosene, metanol, ethanol, paint strippers, piss, milk, **** put anything in if you dont give a shit about how your engine runs or if it lives"

If its the second, then go for it!

Would you shop at Wollies for your engine oil?

Anything that is price driven has quality issues from the start in order to remain profitable!

You get what you pay for and if your not carefull you'll end up paying for what you get.

p.s. Optimax tastes the best!:D

No idea how well it is though.

Really? i didn't realise they sold that....well there ya go...

i haven't gone near a woolies servo since i got the Skyline, I just assumed they didn't have any 98 stuff.

I used to go there very occasionly in my old car and just use the normal ULP....but it was NOT a performance car lol

i know they used to use cheap malaysian import fuel when they first started, dont know about now. I filled up once with their lpg in my older car coz i was running on vapour, and as soon as i restarted my car it was farked, and drove like crap until i filled up with some other lpg.

I would never use that crap again

Guys ive worked in the fuel industry for about 3yrs and safeway fuels are EXACTLY the same as what u find at Caltex as most of them buy of the caltex newport terminal, BUT! in some cases they could get there fuel from Mobil in yarraville which would mean there premium is the same as mobil 8000, what u have todo is when your driving past your local safeway or any fuel servo that is, is stop when the fuel tanker is there refueling,and ask the driver where he loads up at,dont worry they will tell you most of the drivers are great guys. I used to get free fuel from the drivers lol and also free avgas and anything else i wanted

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
