this it not funny. how about in future if you see a thread posted in the wrong section instead of whoring it up as usual, hit report post and a moderator can move it to the relevant section? that would be much more constructive.

and for mark, if your GTST is completely standard I would say you can get away with 95 if you wish, but once you have a few mods like more boost, exhaust, tune etc then use of 98 is pretty much mandatory. and to be honest even in a standard skyline I would personally only use 98.

98 is recommanded (& must for modded cars), but I think you can get away with 95 for fairly stock car.

Well I only use 98 (BP ulitmate & Vortex 98), a friend from work uses regular 95 on his 180sx & it seems to run fine.

Then again, his car does seem to sh*t itself everynow & then... not sure if its the fuel though.

My car is standard, and pings a bit on 98RON. I would never ever ever put 95 RON in it.

They are designed for 100RON!! Why be so nasty to your car. If you can't afford to put the proper fuel in your car go buy a Charade. They go hard.

I checked timing last night and it was a fraction advanced, now it's dead on 15 degrees. It's better, but still get a very small amount of knock at 3000RPM on 7psi (boost solenoid trick).

Spark plugs are tan coloured, so it could handle being a touch richer but they look fine for a standard engine. My exhaust is all standard, I would probably get some gains by getting a dump/front pipe and higher flowing cat. Since the skylines run richer once you open them up it might be just enough to make a difference..

sorry but that is codswallop. :( they are not 'designed' for 100RON. I would love to know where these myths come from.

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
