Well thats good news. I was considering the worth of United Petroleum's 98 RON product but that has a 10% ethanol base so Im told. Ultimate 98 will be very welcome. Then I can get my Apexi tuned how it should be.

Cheers

In NSW, ultimate is generally 10c dearer than regular.

It's worth it IMO though! I can definitely feel the difference in power, and knock is much lower too - Lower than the 7-8% octane increase usually! more like 20-25% less knock compared to 91 ron!

Hehe fair enough...

I pity your engine if you're running regular! :D

no i meant ill believe 98ron in tassie bowsers when i see it, i run a mixture of 102 with 91 (specialised mix) if im going to rev my car above 4k :D

Ahh sorry gotcha.. sorry for the mis-understanding.

Yeah thats one thing the world has got to understand - Oil companies are a bunch of greedy theiving bastards! If it doesnt make them lots of $$$ to release 98ron in Tassie, then they wont. They sure as shit aint doing it to make skyline drivers happy! :D

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
