ok before people start flamming, i did a search! if i didnt do it properly, hook us up with some links !

i dunno if this is new or not as in the 'v-power', because i took no notice of petrol before i goy my car, few weeks ago. About a week ago, was filling up my car with some normal unleaded petrol, payed for it came back to my car, and this guy comes up to me and says your killing your car mate, talked to him for a few seconds and then got back into my car, thinking this guy is a freak. anyway....the next time i went to fill up, i decided to fill it up with v-power, dunno why, i think i just remembered that guy telling me not to fill it up with normal unleaded.

Like i know vpower is 98 octane, but whats the difference between the other 98 octane at other petrol-stations.

Who uses this stuff? is it good?

Please dont flame! please! :(

The guy wasn't a freak >_<

You will kill your car if you use normal unleaded (91ron) and push it at the same time. I know of one person that blew his engine after pushing the car with 91ron. Another mate decided to save some money, till he heard the pinging come from the engine.

First did u see ur engine light flashing under sersious load? on 91..thats kinda bad. You might have experieced crappy performance as the stock ECU (i assume) goes into R&R when it knocks like crazy.

BP Ultimate is good stuff for the 98...many ppl have found this on many different cars. Me and some guys did exenstive testing in our FTOs between BP and Shell and BP won every time on the stock ECUs which are desigend for 100 RON in J-Land.

V-Power Racing (100) really lowered my knock to mid teens in general all the time when tuned on 98...but thats kinda obvious now isn't it.

From my personal experience, I like BP Ultimate. I find all my cars run better on it, giving better performance and a little more Ks. From my experience, every one was bias for some reason or another, so my solution was to try em all and see for my self. Its not going to hurt, as long as its a 98oct. I am bias as well, so the only way you will know for sure is to try it for your self. Here are some linkz for each brand.

BP Ultimate

Shell V Power

Mobil Synergy 8000

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
