The Bounty Bar Kid

So a bit of a revive here, is it best advised to disconnect or not. Away for 10/11 days, and just installed a new car battery a few weeks ago. Bosch S005, courtesy of GT4 ZED. AH 77 CCA 780

I was pushing him from behind Your usual position, I see!

Damn it! Now I'll have to change mine. Lol.

What is your definition of best? Do you want show, go or sound?

Tackleberry... Can I hump your ride? Lovely!

That'll be me!

Love costs!

Awww... Sweet love!

Doesn't offend my eyes as much in that piccy to be fair Pete +1

I'd rather have a "shifty" with a cheese grater than have my zed looking like that!

Car ruined. Ken... Write this GT4 off!

I'd love for my children to be like that when I take them out. If I have any.

Back on topic... This is me. This is Dan aka Ekona aka The man who loves his handbags

What's wrong with world of Warcraft?

Lol. I was waiting for this to happen! You just couldn't have one for Wales with standard spec could you.

Putting wax on with your hands and fingers is far more satisfying. R222 concours look wax (for show) and dodo purple haze pro (for summer time) for me. Gonna get some collinite 476 for winter.

Missed this little addition! Now I can stalk you all again!

BTW Arran's has spacers too. So they will be needed if your DE engine has a plenum spacer. But I suppose you need that anyways for the stock strut brace.

The strut bar is thinner than the original and sits lower than it too. So yeah spacers would be perfect. Didn't think of that. Doh! At the same time, it definitely wouldn't fit with my injens then.

1. 97 RON doesnt cause any problems, Ive been running it for years on track, drifting, all sorts. 2. I think you misunderstood my post. The ECU will retard the ignition timing if it senses knock occurring (the sign of lower octane fuel) but I dont believe it advances the timing if it senses 101 RON, for instance, and if its not changing the timing then its unlikely theres any benefit being gained rfom running 100+ RON From Jez @ Horsham... "The ECU will only react to knock up to about 5.2k - if it knocks a lot in that rev and load area the ECU will switch over to the low octane maps which have around 2-3 degs less ignition advance. So you still get less advance over 5.2k if the engine is in high knock mode. The amount of knock required to get the ECU to switch to high knock mode is still quite significant - so damage could be done before the engine switches maps. Also, pulling 2-3 degs out of the ignition map isn't really that much if you're going from 99 to 95 RON fuel. So, I agree - run the car on 98/99 RON and if you have to run 95 then drive gently and refill with higher octane fuel asap." hope that helps.

No I didn't. It was extremely tight on the engine cover.

Uprev will ensure your car runs properly on 99 Ron. But then you must stick to it. Ideally.

Ecu will not re program itself. The 350z is only designed to run on 98+ Ron. Yes it's only one Ron different but it's not the right stuff. We know that 95 is definitely wrong and what can happen but I'd have thought even 97 would create issues, albeit at a slower rate.
