Your running RON 95 fuel on a GTS-T, and it has being modified for extra power? :(

Just as well I'm not trying 91 :D lol

What is RON?

The 98 with 10% ethanol is only on one pump in my home town in NZ. Rest is 95 and 91. Is 95 not enough?

98 should not contain ethanol. Skylines are designed for the 98 fuel. The sticker on the lid says premium fuel only. 95 is premium so to speak but 98 is premiumer lol. Switch fuels

I think you may have found your problem...

RON = Research Octone Number

Also which outlet is that? That sells the "98" with 10% ethanol?

I thought in Jap land their Premium is RON 98 & regular is 95...

In anycase if the car has being tuned for power then 98 (or higher RON fuel) is the only way to go.

Gull is the station. I've used it before (one full tank) and it went great on a road trip down south. Here is a quote from: http://www.econation.co.nz/gull-new-zealand.html

"Gull New Zealand has embraced biofuels as a sustainable energy source for the future. Since 2007 Gull has offered a biofuel option for New Zealanders. Gull uses 10% ethanol blended with 90% mineral gasoline in their two biofuel blends – Gull Force 10 (98 Octane) and Gull Regular Plus (91 Octane). The ethanol is manufactured from whey which is a by-product of the dairy industry."

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
