Yes indeed, they were, but from new you could special order them without. If you can be bothered like i was you can track this down by contacting nissan japan. If you need the VIN number to reference with them just let me know and i'll shoot it to you. Also you should know, airbags can be retro fitted as the wiring is still there.

Cheers

When are you planning on getting it tuned? Who will be doing the tuning?

Any outstanding issues with the car?

Does the build date on the build plate say 95 or 96?

Do you have the stock steering wheel?

Thanks,

Tommo

Hey Tommo,

As far as the tune is concerned, will be done at CRD (croydon) but with my mechanic (Paul from Hunter Thomas Automotive in Newcastle) also on hand to dial up some of his own settings.(he's a very clever man!!!)

Issues with car. Front bar is a genuine GTR item, so it fits like crap. Clear coat on CF bonnet is starting to flake a little. Everything else is perfect and doing what is should.

Build plate, compliance and rego papers all say 96 Build.

I have a plain black sports wheel which came on the car, but not the Airbag wheel.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Cheers

Ben

Finally had it tuned today. Kept it nice and safe but still ran an easy 271rwkw. :P Feels very quick on the street.

Also finally sorted out the suspension this week (lowered the front down and made a few adjustments.

So although i don't want to sell it even more now, i still have to......Come and get it.....will post dyno sheet later tonight. (nice linear power curve)

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
