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!

    • Yeah its very rare I randomly see one driving around or in traffic, only really see them at events now
    • did you go to the us gtr festival? any progress on getting the car back out and running?
    • I had some time over the last week  and decided to test if block filler will hold the blocks shape similar to a torque plate after the head has been removed. 1, 3 and 5 were measured at 9 points each before and after. MY goal was to see how much impact a torque plate has on the shape of the bore. The first set of measurements were taken with the main girdle and head off with no filler. The block was then filled with grout up to the water pump (half fill) and the girdle and head were torqued to spec. The block sat leveled for 7 days and was disassembled. The second set of measurements were then taken. Results are presented as the delta between the original and new value. All values in the PowerPoint are presented in inches because America. The largest changes were 0.0035 in or 0.0889 mm between cylinders 3 and 5. There may have been even greater changes if the block was filled to the top with grout. I hope this information is useful and I'm curious to hear what you guys think.       Notes: My block had the most wear in cylinders 3 and 4. Due to the amount of change in 3, I measured 2, 4 and 6 separately. 4 was also all over the place. 6 was similar to 1. They were not included to keep the test objective.
