Seriously bro,nobody on here will give you bad info.This forum is a small but informed group of serious enthusiasts who for the most part have owned and run their cars for years.I've never met any of them but I would take their advice as gospel and my car has 286ponies;)

well thats ma s12 sorted thanks for the help guys.

My dad figured out it was the fuel pump causing problems it was letting air into the system somewhere so we went to the scrappy and pulled a nissan almeras fuel pup moter out and he rigged it up so it runs in the old cradle :) seem to be running fine now doesnt cut out or have rough idleing so that should be it fixed until i can afford a genuine part :).

At least it running so i can now (as of tommorow) Drive my new/old car:D

Mine always seemed to run fine on 95, incidentally. No idea what long term problems it could cause. I've always planned on going DET (200SX 1.8 16v Turbo) so didn't really care tbh.

Well i foned a guy who skims cylinder heads and he says that it should run fine on 97 ron as long as im not going on extended journeys as the unleaded burns alot hotter and could eventually damage the valve seats so it should be fine.

Just wanna say thanks again for all the help and info guys :)

Just need to find some nice style 15 inch wheels for it now not diggin the standard rims look too much like wheel trims lol.

when i first got mine i was concerned about this, but i spoke to an engine place, and they said that as its a turbo engine, will will have the same valve seat inserts that an unleaded engine has. also use 97 super unleaded, because it causes less damage than 95 premium unleaded, seems the lower octane make it burn faster and hotter, also can cause the timming to be out on 95 ron (tis only a fraction)

also the higher octane can protect the turbo engine from detonation.
