Just out of interest, would my 300zx protest massivly if i ran it on regular unleaded?

I have a 92 JDM TT auto... and unfortunatly i have to use her for my commute to work next week until my run about is ready. Its basically 40 miles on the motorway and a mile of normal roads at each end.

 

Will it be okay on regular, or is it better safe than sorry and use V power.

 

The car has no mods as such (filter, exhaust etc etc)

Better off using V power mate, Or get the ecu remapped to run on regular unleaded..

jdm are set to run on 100ron , if you want to run it on regular you will need to chip it, andy P's chips are set up on regular.

Better safe than sorry. Have a look on my sig for a link on where to get the best price on super in your area.

okay guys, yeah its going to get chipped asap... but i cant take it of the road until my run about arrives... on friday! lol

 

Thats fine, just checking :) V power it is.

 

I have a cheap (ish) source of V power, 100.9 isnt bad in this day and age!!

 

Cheers fellas

just to add to this, V power being 99 RON, BP Ultimate is 102...

 

I've been educated into using V Power, but surly Ultimate is going to be better??

ive found the bp stuff is not as boost friendly as the v-power ;)

If its a stock ECU then it won't be mapped to the edge of performance. If you take it easy without any heavy boost normal UL will be fine. I can't remember the exact figures but fuel loses RON points very quickly once in the forecourt tanks/your fuel tank, so unless you use a forecourt with REGULAR deliveries and once its in your car, its approaching normal UL rapidly anyway...

Zed's will often run fine on regular unleaded, on stock boost....but you are at risk of Detonation which will kill your engine and if your not used to listening to it then its a risk.

 

Optimax is safer, provides more power and gives better fuel economy.

Ultimate is 97 Ron (same as super unleaded).

 

There are a 7x BP stations that sell the 102 ron fuel but its something like £2.40 a litre and is designed for Track days and dyno runs.

mines standard boost import run on regular fuel for 2 years not one issue with it, however im a rather subtle diver does not go over 4k revs. If its temporary then im sure it will be fine if you take it steady

ahh i see thanks legrath... Was suprised at it being 102 RON, didnt think the BP stuff was as good as that!

 

Cheers for that, interesting that yours has always been on regular saz, cant believe yuo never drive it hard ;)

Not really no, if i need the power at roundabouts etc i use it but apart from that im very cautious lol.

 

Yup 2 years on normal fuel and never an issue so you should be fine if its temporary

Nah she doesn't, thats MY job :rofl: ;)

what riding it hard... LOL sorry

 

Hmm, well its only for a few days in all truth its only going to save me about £4 in juice!

 

The laguna will most certainly not be running on super!

 

So out of my two cars one will have a 3.0 DOHC twin turbo charged and twin intercooled V6 with variable valvetiming and Distributor less ignition.

And the other will be a 2.0 8v with less power than a late afternoon murray mint induced fart hehe

less power than a late afternoon murray mint induced fart

 

 

:rofl: :D bwahahahaha
