Hey ppls,

Findon Coles/Shell is seeing upgrades, fingers crossed we will have 100ron soon. :/

Hey peoples :rofl: we've had it in Sydney for the past couple of months, i've tried it a couple of times and I didnt notice much of a diffrence.... except in the pocket (about 7-8 cents difference).... I find my car runs well enough on the 98 octane based fuels.... enjoy :huh:

Heslo & Smoky,

You won't notice any difference by simply dropping it in. The car needs to be tuned to suit. Well basically ign. timing advanced and 'possibly' even though its only 5% afr's richened up a tad.

If your running on a stock ecu and simply drop the 100ron in it won't do anything..

Madaz,

Mine won't run on 95ron, pings its arse off. :)

When it had the stock motor and ecu in it it was 'ok' on 95ron but I wasn't able to dial in any static ign. timing via the cas. 15degree's was it.

I dropped 98ron in to it advanced it a few degree's and picked up ~10rwkw.

Which was a lot when it was dead stock... 115rwkw to 125rwkw. :P

But yer 5% ethanol. Hardly anything. I have no issues running it.

Out come my coles dockets. :blink:

Busky2k,

Apparently its 5c more over optimax in syndey and the like.

I'm going to throw it on the dyno, quick tune and power run. Then a tank full of optimax extreme and another quick tune and power run. Shall be interesting to see what gains are to be had with my setup.

Wouldn't bother for my car. Unless your car is seriously hotted up or you plan on hitting the track it's not worth it for the sake of a handfull of kw's you're not going to notice. I'd also want to be able to quickly switch between engine maps if I had to change from one to the other.

Wouldn't run 95 though. I've had mine ping a bit on 98 let alone 95.

Hope you don't run your boost very high Madaz.

I'll have the few extra kw's as my coles docket will equal out the difference. :(

Its easy enough to pull out a little ign. for a whole tank of fuel should I need to drop 98 or even ULP in it.

ULP requires me to drop from memory when I tested 6-7degree's.

Got the map laying around some where.

Either way I'm going to have a fiddle. I'm a fiddler. :/

Unless ping is really ringland breaking bad its not easy to hear UNLESS your up against cement guard rail.

Thats how I used to do all my crude fiddlings prior to the PFC days.

Yeah that's it, I'm a fiddler too, but I don't want to have to carry a timing light in the boot all the time. Can't you set the map on the PFC so that the timing changes anyway? If I can't do it quickly & painlessly then I don't wanna know.

My 33's an everydayer & I don't want to be changing my timing once or twice a week if I keep getting different fuel ta very much. But if you want to go do that knock yourself out mate :(

I only ever run BP98 at the moment, never anything else. So really for myself it would be no different if I ran Optimax Extreme.. Fill up once a fortnight and be done with it.

The PFC.. Yep there is a temporary ign. overall trim or you can 'simply' lol @ simply jump in to the ign map and change the values across your WOT load points quickly... Depending how well versed with the h/c you are it will only take a minute.

Myself personally.. If I dropped a tank of bp98 in it I know its going to be in there for close to 500km's, so I'll spend the 1 minute pulling a few degree's out of load points 16,17 & 18.

I got pretty damn good fuel economy on the cruise, done 187km's and ever so slightly over 1/4 of a tank.

I remember seeing 140km's to a 1/4. :(

Busky2k....!!!! Where were u? :/

Well yer.. I usually just cruise it around changing up at around 2-2.5k.

Still always in front of traffic at the lights but.

It has been tuned, running a new genuine o2 sensor, and recently cleaned injectors. :(

The old injectors had 350km's per tank, and it felt as if it went bad overnight. I replaced O2 sensor and it made no difference. So injectors in my case it was. Was a good excuse to drop larger ones in. :/

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
