The Petrol I'm Using For Now


Recommended Posts

Because of the ultimate shortage at the moment i'm using shell optimax, I just filled up a tank last night. Is this ok for the time being?

Also I am getting a PFC+Tune in a few weeks, I'm thinking the best thing to do now is wait till ultimate is back to normal and then get it tuned on that fuel, am I right?

who cares most fuels are similar if they are 98.  People wank on a lot about I use ultimate etc...

word. i think 1 person said they prefferred ultimate, and everyone got on it thinking it was something miles ahead of the rest.

they're all 98 RON, so i think they'll all do the job.

personal preference really

Being a tight arse I have coles and woolies vouchers i.e. shell and caltex

so I try to fill up at those if the price is reasonable.

I usually fill up when the price is good even if I still have near a 1/2 tank (still about $40!!)

If your tuning it to the best possible fuel and then you use some other fuel that isn't as good you could do engine damage. Why limit yourself to one fuel. Batches at different servos will vary all the time anyway depending how recently they cleaned filters etc...how clean there tanks are ectc

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
