wouldnt of thought NA RB would have enough power to utilise the RON

i didnt wanna say it.

LOL that's what i would have thought?

What static compression do they run?

9:1 afaik.

just for comparison, my old toyota ran a cr of 10.5:1 and didnt have any problems on any premium fuel. cant see how the lower compression nissan engine would suffer problems.

my car lost power with the v-power fuel, she hated it ran like crap and detonated off her nut :laugh:

I'd be taking her to the mechanic in that case, could be many other things like spark, coil packs, afm ect ect....

Mine runs just fine on V Power, I wouldn't say it runs better (than Ultimate 98) but I definitely get better fuel consumption on V Power. But I'll use either, depends where and when I fill up... :nyaanyaa:

Well the issue is resolved. Found some octane booster in my shed, put it in this morning and she runs fine now. f**king shit fuel. :nyaanyaa:

Edit: I should add, it doesn't matter if the engine is forced or na, shit fuel is still shit fuel. Don't you think NA cars suffer detonation too?

I've got a new name for V Power: Vagina Power = its a c*nt of a fuel :laugh:

almost there. intakes been hooked up, disconnected the cas and cranked it a few times, cant see any leaks, but ill have to wait til i actually start it to know for sure.

just waiting on a couple shorter exhaust studs, and then its start time. getting anxious now. lol.

What servo did you get the V-Power from Ruby? Was it a servo that is very busy? 98 ron fuel (no matter who makes it) will lose octane as it sits. So if it had sat in their tanks for 3-4 weeks because no one had bought it, then it would probably have been down around 95 RON.

The trick is ALWAYS buy your fuel (BP, Shell, Mobil) from a very busy servo. Tanks get drained quick, which always means nice fresh 98 ron fuel.

The same applies if you put you dont drive your car for a while. If it sits for a month or two, ALWAYS add fresh fuel, or at least octane booster before heading off again :nyaanyaa:

Supporting the above, I've use both V-Power and BP Ultimate in all my cars, and each fuel is the same as each other - never a bad batch because I always visit busy servo's on main roads :laugh:

I think I just encountered a bad batch. Still wasn't happy about it.

I always (99.9%) buy my fuel from BP near Greyhounds and BP West Tce, or Shell West Tce

Not sure if I should name the servo ... but its located near the brewery :nyaanyaa:

See now that is a pretty shitty small servo - it wouldn't surprise me if the don't sell much 98 there at all and you got some old horrible fuel.

(probably sell plenty of 91 with the 4c dockets for all the dero's heading home to the western suburbs :nyaanyaa:)

Just a quick question...how do i get the static compression ratio of my car???? std rb30 but with a set of hypatec dished pistons??

a compression tester ? if its a built engine, or you can calculate compression based upon measurements,bore,cc of cyl head etc if the motor isnt built yet

how awesome is having 3,333 posts?

not because im a post whore and wanna brag about my fairly large e-penis, i just like having numbers line up.

that and a dollar coin will get you a few min at the car wash to wash your penis dave...the one that counts is the "666" post :nyaanyaa: ...lol

Aww c'mon ... its right next door to the fully hectik Super Cheap yo! Thats gotta be worth a few extra kw. :nyaanyaa:

Had no choice, right near empty and I failed to stop at BP West Tce. :laugh:

the devil is my bitch.

srsly.

ive got a photo around here somewhere...

... anyways, got a price on those work meshies i posted some pages back. bout 1400 beans. be able to sell my enkeis to make up at least half that i reckon.

:EDIT:

for anyone that cares, these are the wheels in question;

4902P5120746.jpg

went out side with a couple rulers, fronts will sit pretty flush with the camber im running at the moment, rears will sit *just* proud with a 5mm slip on, will require some rolling though, and a bit of a lip when i get the camber sorted. jawesome.

meshies look awesome, def one of my favourite style of rim to suit a skyline or a 2hunj

love VS-XX work or the Weds Kranze mesh - or BBS if youve got the extra coin you dont mind parting with your left testicle, first born son, and soul.

Ebay find:

A bit too "out there" for my liking. It'd be a cop magnet in Adelaide

and here's a fail:

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
