Hello, i'm pretty new to the Skyline world, but am looking to increase my knowledge with your help. I'm looking to purchase an R33 GTR (i know there are some mingers out there) but i have been made aware that there are some problems with fuel.....
Can anybody tell me if an imported car should have a different fuel chip? or is it possible to run them on regular unleaded over here? Can anyone clarify my query......

UK fuel.

Firstly get a car that has been in the UK a while. it will be used to our fuel. Make sure it has had the chip from Middlehusrt/Abbey or another reuptable tuner.
if you can't and you get a direct import, change it straight away. DO NOT DELAY. it will cost you long term.
Always run the car on SUL. For the sake of 3p a litre, I am sure you don't want to fork out for new pistons and rebuild down the line.
The problem is our fuel is 98 rom max, JP fuel 100 ROM +.

It is like running the marathon in the summer without much water. you will get a little overheated!! keep on doing it and your body will give up!!

Good luck and avoid those mingers. Get it checked as well!

yep..

Once the ECU is sorted..

Feed her Shell Optimax (the best) and chuck a 1/4 of a bottle of NF octane booster per tank (extra 6 RON).
