refer to this thread dude.

he didnt have such a good time with this fuel to the sounds of it.

Shit...

Nissan Nissan vehicles manufactured from 1 January 2004 onwards are capable of operation on ethanol-blended fuels up to E10 (10% ethanol), providing that blending of the ethanol component to the petroleum component of the fuel has been properly made at the fuel refinery (ie there is no "splash-blending" of the fuel).

For Nissan vehicles manufactured prior to 1 January 2004, Nissan Australia does not recommend the use of E10 because of drivability concerns and/or material compatibility issues

[BookyVL]

Yeah, i read that too. But still gonna try it.

r33skyliner, he took that from a Subi site, he didnt have any experience yet from what i read..

[Charly]

ugh, I;m not touching it with a 10 foot pole.

[BookyVL]

When they say E10, does that mean 10% Ethanol.

Because EXtreme only has 5% Ethanol...?

Just a question.

Ill let you know anyways tomorrow if my engine has a conrod stuck through the side of the block or not... HAHA

Actually, yeah E10 means 10% not 5%...

[Ska]

Will be interesting to see the price of it, should be cheaper because of the ethonol, right?

[BookyVL]

Yeah, tipically it is, will see either tonight or tomorrow night...

[BelGarion]

ethanol, you can stick that shit up ya arse

ill stick to ultimate and when caltex bring vortex98 ill use that too

optimax already had too much sulphur in it, now they put ethanol in it and claim its better? HAH

[Slide]

Isnt Ethanol also bad for older cars because it is corosive against the old rubber hose ?

[BookyVL]

Ok, now i used Extreme in both my Skyline and VS to try it out.

It made a great difference to the skyline. The VS made a slight difference.

Used about $40 in the skyline on the weekend. There was hardly any knock etc. The ride was smoother, there was more pick up... That is under good heavy load session too..

I went up MT Mee, then across to Mt Glorious then over Mt Nebo, no pinging, hardly knock... I like it.

Well thats my opinion anyway...

It is definitly at the Milton and the Virginia Shell servo's...

I will keep using it too...

[Ska]

By the looks of it it is more expensive than optimax, bah cheaper my ass, they can shove that price up their arse!

[BookyVL]

HAHA, yeah Ska, it is about 2 cents dearer that Optimax...

i tried this fuel today. so far pretty happy, it revs out a lot smoother.

i'm a little concerned about the comments from nissan re vehicles pre 2004. so what are the potential problems in plain english? ie is it more likely to be a fuel line that goes or fuel pump, injectors etc?

[JZA80_1998]

nice!!

love better fuel

[predator]

im going to try it.. rb20's are great for stress testing when you really don't give a...
