V Power Racing

Its weird, the car tends to run better with it - sitting at idle and its nice and smooth, when i tried mobil synergy it ran rough, coughed and spluttered on idle - yes, i did run it for a few tanks too. Seemed to get better economy from v power too

Only crap thing is that not all shells stock the V Power Racing. You may be interested in this if you did not catch it on RPM

And the ones that do stock it have supply problems (in Brisbane anyway). My local was out of the stuff for 6 weeks and that's in metro Brissy as well.

Regretted getting my car tuned on the stuff, should have stuck to BP ulitmate.

Ultimate - as I have a BP 100 meters up the road and it seems to be recommended by most people here. It is also only 10 cents per litre more expensive than ULP. Synergy 8000 was about a 12 cent premium and Shell's old Optimax Extreme 100RON with ethanol (I assume its now called V Power Racing) was about 15 cents per litre more expensive than ULP. I have used Synergy 8000 before and that was really good - the car ran smooth and got good mileage out of it.

I've used the Caltex Vortex 98, BP Ultimate, Mobil Synergy 8000, Shell V Power & Shell V Power Racing. The Shell V Power Racing is far superior than any of the others I have found. The car runs so smoothly and has more 'get up and go'. I'm lucky to have one 5 mins down the road from where I live. Once you've tried the V Power Racing you won't want to go back to anything else.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
