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:

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
