after trying all the 98+ fuels for a long time now, the best one i always thought was BP Ultimate (although there wasnt a massive diff), However recently i been using Vortex 98 and out of all the fuels, i think personally vortex 98 stands out, even more than the Shell 100 RON fuel. This is just my opinion. Fuel economy wise, well how do u ever measure fuel economy? unless you never gun the thing, and lets face it, not many of us would go through a full tank of fuel without pushing it here and there so its really hard to measure fuel economy.

most skyline drivers will need to do an ECU reset and run-in (~1000kms) to notice any differences between fuels

i've been running optimax since i bought my car, and when the fuel prices plummeted i switched up to optimax extreme (v-power racing) and noticed a little increase in response.

I've reset my ECU, just coming up to the optimal run-in mileage now and my car goes like a burnt cat. Stupid amount of response and acceleration, hardly even notice it's an NA :happy:

Afaik the 100 octane + 5% ethanol blend is what the japs use and what the skylines are supposed to run on, so that's what's staying in my car from now on, i love it.

yeah i ran the ultimate in my n15 with rnn14 and it was getting about 350-400 per tank ive had the v power racing in for a monthish now and i get 450-500 and i can def notice its alot smoother on accelerating and has bit more punch but nothing over the moon...

mainly use optimax inthe gtr no v power racing on the coast near me yet but have had the ultimate and no defference in both so far.... i have had caltex 98 in the sss and wasnt good but couldve been a bad batch.

just get some martini racing fuel 110ron hehehe

I only use Caltex Vortex or 91 (Not in a skyline, waiting till I am 21 now - just a ford falcon)

It is only about 7c more than 91 at my station, and nambour generally has the cheapest fuel in the sunshine coast (Normal Unleaded was 100.9c today compared to BP 104.9 AND I have to go out of my way to get to BP).

I put a tank of V power in today, I noticed smoother acceleration, cant say its got more power but I do like it, I'll let youz know what mileage is like when I fill up next.

It's funny that we still use the word mileage but kilometreage just dosnt sound right, does it?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
