I had the fc tuned on optimax and found extreme to knock a bit more but the extra 50km;s per tank has not rally made me a fan... ill stick to 98 plus i get 4c off a litre at shell also...

Are you saying you got the car tuned for 98 ron then ran 100 and it knocked if so i am surprised i would have though the higher ron less chance of knock though if its burning hotter i guess that can happen... also you should really tune it with the petrol you will use all the time.

It arrived in vic on the 16th. I so happened to be the first person at this particular station to fill up with ultimate.

As I went to fill up the clerk started yelling at me from his booth saying its empty but I didn’t really hear what he was saying so I started to pump away.

As I went to pay they clerk was so shocked that he got ultimate back.

Everyone I know says mobile is better. So should I switch over?

damn didnt even know this shortage was happening....must have just ben a thing that happened down south cause we had no problems up here in Bundaberg Queensland. wierd :(

am thinking about swapping over to something else soon though becaue i get pretty bad mileage out of Ultimate. what would people recommend??

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
