Hi all, have an R32GTR basically standard running 1 bar boost max, big exhaust , pods + mines computer, just wondering if I should be adventurous and steer away from the BP Ultimate and try maybe the Ethanol 100 or even the AvGas Racing fuel, obviously Racing fuel would require the removal of the cat and used for track however would I need to tinker with the computer for the higher octane or would it sort it self out. I have never heard a ping or had any knocks to date and it is powering as a healty GTR should. I have had muscle cars, non fuel injected but not to be sneezed at by any means, those larger v8s were very receptive to racing fuel and immediately driveable.

AvGas - forget it. Use proper racefuels if you are going down that route (read, NOT cheap).

The ECU will not know there is better fuel. You will need a full tune of any ECU to make proper use of upgraded fuel, ethanol blend or otherwise.

I mean, without tuning a car for it - what's the point?

Spending big $$$ on racefuel only to see 1/2 the gain out of it IMO makes it a pointless excercise.

    • Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes. 
    • I looked up my other car that is a R33 GTST series 1.5. Anyone able to confirm what a Aero Form Bumper is?     (1G) 2 Door Coupe; (2GK + 11V) RB25DET; (4B) 2WD HICAS; (7F) 5 Speed Manual; (14G) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15U) Large Rear Spoiler + Aero Form Bumper + Rear Wiper (Aero Selection)
    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.  
    • That link was very helpful thank you.
    • That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php
