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."

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
