Saw a guy filling up a blue 33 GTST this morning with 91 octane and when i aked him what he was doing he goes i put octane booster in.

does he not realise that 91 is the best that fuel will ever be and if it has been sitting it is probably more like 88 or 89!!!!

Do not know what octane booster he is using but as far as i know they can only lift the octane rating up to 5 points which would still put him in the range of a blown motor!!!

Plus i have found that octane booster tends to foul the plugs ig not used out on the track or on a hill run.

just my observations

Had an interesting morning so far.

Got pulled over by the po-po in front of Prince Alfred College earlier - random bretho, cop was a nice chap who asked if I get pulled over much and explained that the criminals that steal the cars are more to blame for pullovers than anything, which is understandable. Took all of 5 minutes and they let me go, was not a drama at all - they didnt even ask to see my licence...

then im driving down port rush road and this ranga mofo that looks like jacko jackson sticks his head out of the passenger window of the magna he was travelling in, and yells at me "I f**kEN HATE BUSINESS C***S"

OK so I'm in a skyline and I have a collared shirt. Shoot me. Would've love to have NOT been caught in traffic, would have loved to have said something about him being an inbred bogan ranga mofo, but for all I know he was a methhead who wanted to punch on. Ahhh fun times. I just wish I was allowed to pack a gun and execute these vermin as I see fit (kind of like Judge Dredd but in a GTR instead of a bike)..

-D

For those interested in seeing what the Work Emotion 11Rs look like, I sold them and bought a set of gold Advan RG2s in GTR offsets for my Evo 8. End result should be something like this, in silver, minus the stickers...

its a permacool block adaptor and an earls relo block. 3/4 -16 thread or something on both. too small. gave em a call, theyll sort it out tomorrow, their little book said it would fit, so theyll just swap over to the stuff i need.

the filter thread on your car is M20x1.5, it's the non VTC SR20's that are 3/4x16. I would keep the 3/4 thread in the filter block and change the one that bolts to the engine as there is more filter availability in the 3/4 thread.

Better yet go to Racespec and get one of these;

Well hopefully i've now fixed my coolant leak (dodgey genuine water pump), and my reversion problem caused by my hard intake pipe. Be the first time i've driven it in about 3 weeks!

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
