Fuel For R33..

[br3ndan]

I was just thinking the other day as i filled my skyline up with Bp ultimate, that there is actually other servos that stock 98 octane fuel... Peak and Caltex crossed my mind. I was wondering what you guys think of those servos 98's... are they just as good if not better then BP?

Just another quick question that is totally unrelated to this topic.. when skylines are imported from Japan are they imported dry? by that i mean with all their fluid been drained? Then filled up when they arrive here?

BP Ultimate > V Power > Vortex

The available 98 is usually BP Ultimate, Shell V Power And Caltex Vortex.

I have tried all of these in my GTS-T and it performs best on the BP Ultimate followed by Caltex Vortex and Shell V Power in that order.

In my GTR I run Sheel V Power Racing that is rated at 100. The GTR really loves this stuff and although supply is a pain due to the limited places where you can buy it the hassel of getting it is worth it for the improvement in mid range responsiveness.

[inthisglass]

definitely best on bp ultimate but then again you usually have to pay and extra 10 cents a litre for the stuff!

there isn't a huge difference between ultimate and vortex so i just go to the one thats cheapest and closest when i need fuel.

[br3ndan]

I really would like to try Shell V-power Racing... But unlucky for me Shell doesnt stock it in Western Australia as far as i know... Hopefuly they will bring it in soon!

Yeap BP Ultimate always runs best in the car...except for this one time i have no idea what it was..car was nearly completely empty so i filled up in some cheap station cant remember the name and the car increased responsiveness soo much ...but i tihnk cause it was on empty hahah but yeah

[depalma-bcnr33]

ive got a 33gtr, bp runs best and smoothest and actually gives me 40km extra from a tank, v power next in line... everything else runs shithouse in my car especially vortex even though its good fuel...

hope this helps

i changed from optimax to BP years ago. hasnt given me any troubles so ill keep on stickin with it untill it does.

[eMsta]

im trying vortex now - usually use BP

my car doesnt like shell

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

I use BP Ultimate 98 RON. I used to use Shell Optimax but my mechanic said it was a bit too dry, BP is a wetter fuel.

I was about to try V-Power Racing 100 RON, but friend told me it does bugger all.

When selling a car in Japan most of the time the owners / dealers don't bother filling it up. (Well I guess you won't bother filling up the car if ya selling it. Basicaly your giving the new owner a free tank of fuel) + the cars are re-tuned for our fuel standards.

Tried Caltex 98 the other day, no noticable difference. That said, still run it on Ultimate.

Pretty sure they de-gas the aircon for health and safety reasons, no idea about other stuff though..

[r33cruiser]

only run on caltex vortex 98. car loves it. but only get about 3kms more than shell 98 to a tank

[stolen_s15]

I can tell no difference in BP, Shell or Caltex's varieties, I honstly dont know how you guys say there is so much difference.

Anyway I use BP, just because its close, recomended and open 24 hours near me.

[Trent04]

yeh i normally just use Caltex Vortex, or Bp Ultimate, doesnt really bother me what i use aslong as it gets me out of the drive way and enough in there to boost lol but personal prefference really

[Rav]

I used BP Ultimate in my R33 GTS-T And now i Have a GTR and all i use is BP Ultimate. So my vote is BP Ultimate.

[Modena]

Filled up with BP Ultimate on Tue night, shit that fuel is pricey... cost me over $70 to fill the tank... love it.

But I do find that it gives me the best fuel economy than V power or Vortex and I am going for a long drive this long weekend.

[jutstar]

I've tried BP ultimate and Vortex, but my r33 gtst doesn't like them, It stalls after you fill it up and I can't notice any power gains and I get worse fuel economy. Mine must be tuned for unleaded 91 or something because it has no problems on that juice.

[r33cruiser]

wow tuned for 91 ron, interesting.

i guess u would have seen a LARGE power change in using 98, if your car was tuned for it.

I got over 605 KMs to a full tank of BP Ultimate this week. 70% highway driving with occasional full throttle, 30% peak hour traffic and local streets.

The light still did not come on so I must have had anothr 10 litres easy in the tank, so I could of easily done 650 KMs to a full tank of fuel.

Talking about economy.

Thats around 9 litres per 100 K... even lower if I still kept driving.

[jutstar]

Seriously Modena, 600 in a r33 Gtst is impressive almost hard for me to believe . I get 500km when i drive normally and 380 or so when I'm floggin it. After doing exhaust, intercooler and manual boost controller I think i'm ready for a tune.
