Ethanol effects

RAA on Ethanol

Nissan Statement

So - assuming Extreme doesn't go off like the 'old' fuel did, it should be fine. And the stock computers have two fuel maps, and the high octane map is supposedly for 100 Octane.

Thats a nissan Australia statement, not a nissan Japan statement. im guessing the majority of us would be using cars from over the big blue....

Last time I checked, Nissan Australia imported all their cars prebuilt from Japan, they werent made here in Australia :(

stopped in at Phillip tonight and saw Ultimate was back *yay*

so much for them sending an SMS when it was available :)

and to anyone using Vortex 98 from the Caltex at Braddon I wouldnt do it...someone I know with a high powered turbo car has been using it....his fuel pump stopped working and his mechanic said its the worst looking filter he has ever pulled out of a tank of a 15 month old car.

it might be ok at other servos...but anyway..

Ultimate's been back at Phillip since Monday or Tuesday I think, or wherever it was I filled up last

I'm quite pleased with how my car went with Synergy 8000, it actually seemed to give my car a bit better mileage than the Ultimate did.

After the stock computer has done its post-reset timing thing, I've never been able to tell the difference (performance wise) between Optimax, Ultimate, and stock 95 premium (Mobil). With the hi-octane fuels, the everyday initial performance after the motor has first warmed up is better, but after giving it a hard time they have all been pretty much the same.

However - I loaded up with Optimax Extreme last week, and the car's a farking rocket all of the time now... So I guess I have been dropping down to the low-octane fuel map most of the time. I think I will reset the computer again to see how that goes as well!

    • I’ve been considering one of these screens too, but I've heard mixed reviews about the software responsiveness. Some say it's great, while others mention lag issues. Before pulling the trigger, I'd check out a few recent user experiences to see if the latest models have improved.
    • Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.
    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
