"Premium100 is a high performance petrol with an octane of 100, which is the highest rating available in the Australian market. Ethanol is a natural octane enhancer - adding 10% ethanol to petrol boosts its octane number and its performance. Ethanol helps the other components in petrol burn more completely. It also has a cleaning effect on the cars fuel system. Premium100 will give your car more zip! "

reading from that it should b better then BP ultimate. i might have to give it a try... i fill up tuesdays so might use it 2moro. any1 tried it?

Just be careful with ethanol blend fuels! I put some 98/10% ethanol in mine and the knock reading skyrocketed. Was tuned on Ultimate 98, tuner said that any ethanol blend fuel is trouble unless you retune for it. Due to the amount of extra fuel needed and less timing because of higher burn rate. My knock went from 30 on ultimate to over 200 on ethanol blend!

Oh and Damo, go for the chrome/orange globes. Last thing you want is nice clear side markers with daggy orange globes.

I am speaking to Luke_ENR about it, which seems to be clearing it up a bit for me.

I get the 040 in the cradle, but it doesn't go back into the tank. I now have a theory that the end/base of the 040, needs to be in the same position as the OEM pump. I was mounting the 040 a little bit further down, where the "C" bit of the cradle is, was where is was putting the line on the 040. the "C" bit, holds the OEM to the cradle as it has the pickup go through it.

ffs I couldn't have imagined it being so frustrating trying to buy a "near new" car .... I think I am on a winner this time - we will see what the mechanical check picks up on THIS one tomorrow.

pritty sure there is a guide on the site??

also i thought that the 040 is not a direct fit replacment?? but maybe thats just for gtr's

It isnt, you need to modify the cradle...but i think i know what to do now. I did look at the guide, it helped me a bit.

    • I would be looking at the tune mate. How do you know that you have such a low dynamic compression?  I had to dumb mine down because it was too jumpy when taking off (too much torque).  What ECU? Do you need help with the tune? 
    • Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?
    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product
