I used to add as a percentage:
i.e. if filling up 75% of tank with petrol, I would add 75mls, if filling up 50%, 50mls etc.
Stopped det on my MY99 STi5 Type R (until I had it remapped for UK fuel
)

Stopped det?
Where you using Optimax and getting det on this??
Had you modified the car at all - i.e exhuast/filter?
Just wondered as I used to use just SUL when I first got the car (the 98ron stuff in 99/00) and with det cans at even 150mph there was no sign off det at all on my sti5
Is NF now freely avaliable then.......as the supply of this has been a joke lately

As per instructions it recommends 1ml per litre for everyday use and 5ml per litre for high compression modified engines etc. Therefore for 44litres you would require 44mls of NF of everday use and 220mls for high compression modified engines etc. 
Cheers

Just checked with Roger Clark and they want £13.25 + VAT per bottle on a case of 10. Last batch of 10 I bought was £10 per bottle about 4 months ago. Seems very expensive to me, just waiting to see if they do any better.
Sorry, couldn't resist...

Depends if your car is standard or not
If standard, then yes inevitably it will reduce the onset of det (I wont say eliminate as who knows!!). It wont necessarily increase the power - for this you have to have the ECU remapped, and/or replaced to get the benefits that running higher octane can provide
I've tried Millers, the Silkolene stuff and NF - NF is fields ahead of the rest but it is expensive........ given there is so much tax on it!!
If you want to just reduce the risk of det...or play safe then I'd probably recommend just using a bottle of Millers in every fill up - with NF you have to mess a bout measuring the stuff (i.e. you put about 1-2mils per fil up per litre in it) - although I use a full bottle of the stuff......when I have it....there are alternatives which have/are being debated on other threads

Thanks - I was not aware.

Regarding price, the Aussie dollar has strengthened against the £ in the last 12-18 months - hence the price increases

Dualtech,
Is it NF Race Formula that you purchased?
Scoobyscreech,
I use NF to prevent knock, I have a P1 which is pretty much a Jap import with more sensitive knock correction. I used to have a MY01 WRX and tried it in that, I would say that through the gears the car picked up noticeably better than when run on Optimax alone. If you are curious just buy one bottle and try 2ml per ltr of Optimax.
Si.

just changed from millers to NF and what a difference
Optimax + Millers - Amber lights on KL over 6K rpm
Optimax + NF - Only greens on KL up to redline
car is an Sti5- not remapped as yet

Cheers Dualtech that seems to have done the trick
Chris D,
I ran out of NF and had to use Millers and got the same results you were having, it ain't going in again.
Just to add there have been a few posts on other threads suggesting that there is no knock correction after 6K so be careful up there.

When my ScoobyECUd 95 UK had a sudden onset of knocklink redlight (with optimax) a bottle of Wynns octane booster brought it down to one green.
Not sure what caused it really since an hour earlier there were no red lights but anyhow.... Chris @ CCS Performance swears by the stuff. Says they have compared it to various other brands when mapping customers cars and think its the dogs !$"!£$%^^ A little more expensive than Millars but not too bad.
