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...

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

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

      R34 power steering

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
