Petrol brand aint so important.. If you are tuned on V power or vortex or 2000 then if you use BP it wont matter, Its pretty obvious BP has hell high quality octane in it as on a stock car it made my engine not burn it correctly and back fire.. If anything u tune on another fuel and then use BP.. It still makes the car feel shit tho.. Its as if it does not burn.

Works fine when the engine is quite warm tho..

Should clarify..

The tune you get on a paritucular fuel gives you, depending on what you ask for: Good KM vrs Fuel consumption or Fuel for Power.. Vortex is actually rated the best Power giving petrol.. But I find it burns very quickly

Safc is included in aftermarket.. Its using fuel/airflow mixtures to get the best power or km depending on your tune... Id say doof has one too.

Good thing about stock ecu.. When you put new fuel in it adjusts for that fuel to try give best mixtures.. But we all know the ecu sux at that. Safc is tuned on a particular fuel its not so much an issue tho.. A standalone tune is actually tuned to prevent knock but give power so its more important.

Just get a knocklite if you run a safc and it will help or dyno it with diff fuels.. lol

See now if you have ever met me and seen my car you would know that I DON'T have an SAFC :)

I don't have shit... I had planned to skip all that and buy a new ECU outright... this plan started at the dawn of Apexi cancelling their PFCs... and then the prices went up...

The SAFC tricks the ECU to change the fuel and airflow mix like Nath said... It won't make a massive massive difference, but it would be best to stick with what it was tuned in, cause it was custom tuned for that type of fuel...

I've come to realise that V Power Racing burns REALLY fast too... I was pretty much at 100kms before this optishit started dropping off full... I'll check when I go home, cause that's pretty nuts...

ahhh crap i have to fill up today im at work atm hopefully they have bp ulitimate or i wont be able to get home :banana: or t least premium.... if worse comes to worse have to use normal unleaded is this very bad?????

Don't use anything less then 95 ron...

Daughterboard hey... sounds intriguing :ermm:

my work has been running out of ultimate on some tanks but not others and we always have premium.. the government took the rebate off petrol which is why its 13c more then regular unleaded not 11c.. I've heard a rumour that BP has been running out because they dont have their own depot (could possibly be only in newcastle) and we share shells depot and they're giving us trouble lol ... I'm not sure if thats 100% why they're running out but its definatly a reason..

I have heaps of skyline owners come in and used regular ethanol unleaded in their cars lol I cringe of course but couldnt be too bad for it in an emergency

I get it all the time at work too, tools going psycho at me for stuff thats completely out of my hands when the suppliers / manufacturers of the product are the ones responsible / at fault.

i just filled up with BP ultimate. every pump was working, and price was 1.45.? which is pretty cheap. also drove past another BP and they had ultimate too.

so whats all the fuss?

yeah thats cheap

i paid 1.51 for mine other day :banana:

yeah paid 151.9 the other day for BP at wetherill.

no v-power for ages at wetherill shell.

not sure if theyve refilled yet or not.

guy at the counter said they're doing some refinery work.

had to pour a lil bit of that crappy ethanol addative petrol from shell :S :S

what's crappy about it?

you get slightly better economy on it, it's 3c per litre cheaper than normal petrol and it has the same octane rating as premium unleaded

so that'll be win/win/win then

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
