Use 98.

[mynameisalan]

yup learnt my lesson *.*

[tridentt150v]

drive very conservatively until you can use 98. If you have E85 around, squeeze some of that into the tank and dilute the 95. Around 10-15 litres will help, octane booster will also work if you get one that actually works.

[mynameisalan]

cheers mate will do. .

dammit caltex why didnt u sell any 98 when i needed it T.T

Geeze u guys do like if 95 is kerosene or some shit....

Where i'm from 95 premium is our best brew and we run all skylines on that with no probs...just keeping the boost down on hot days

[mad082]

on a NA 95 octane should be fine. any misfires on 95 won't be from the octane rating. might be from the quality of fuel, but not the octane. you could also try backing the timing off a bit if you are worried.

japan's octane ratings are the same as ours, they just happen to have one that is even higher, but they still have 91 and 95 octane fuels over there from what i gather.

[mynameisalan]

what i know now is that its engine knocking or D:

its gone away too for no reason?

could it have been the 98 mixing with the new 95?

i run e10 95 in the stagea and keep the boost to 5psi most the time and it runs fine

even on 7 psi its ok, down a bit of power compared to 98 but its fine

i forgot to tell you guys that my spark plugs was the cause haha. running on 5 cylinders was fun.. NOT

95 is fine stuff but i still run 98 nowadays

Yes, but the average altitude of Japan is about 1000m, whereas our average altitude is about 400m.

I believe the "knock" map on the standard ECU is designed for 95 octane.

What's the relevance of that on a MAFed engine?

Not trying to be rude, but a car down a cylinder sounds a lot worse than the odd backfire... How did you not notice?

it was only very occasional. luckily i noticed early on.

[Jonno34]
