Well the fuel obviously.

could have been the tanker left the servo 5 mins before you and stirred a bit of crap up.

Just get another batch of fuel in a few days and take it easy

Either that or your fuel pump has just about seen its last day :D

hi guys,

does mobil 8000 contain ethenol? if so i would be banking on that if you're running aftermarket management.

Take it easy if it is starting to ping. Don't rev the car or hit boost. You'll end up leaning the girl out and have a rebuild on your hands.

I put bad fuel into my car and she has been off the road for 2+ months now cause I didn't know any better.

:D

Use the correct fuel, and if you can't get there, just put enough in to get you to the right fuel.

      Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.

      They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
