I believe they are tuned on 100ron and I believe thats what he was refering too. Becuase jap fuel is rumored to be 100ron..

lol. my point exactly. no car I can think of in the world is factory tuned to run on 100RON fuel. not even ferrari's or lamborghinis which are pure single purpose sports cars. and no all japanese fuel is not 100RON. sure they have hi-oku fuel which around 100ron but regular fuel and premium in japan is much less.

this whole "skylines are tuned for 100ron or 98ron" is absolutely and old wives tale. as the whole "regular fuel in japan is 100ron". they are not some special country full of super fuel.

This was only a problem years ago when they produced cars that ran happily on 93 or or 95ron and we at that time had mainly very poor quality 90 or 91ron fuel with some places offering 95ron as the only premium high octane fuel. those days are far behind us and the fuel we get here is comparable to that in japan.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
