It's a requirement for the octane rating, not the lead /lead-replacement content. Use LRP or premium unleaded.

I'd recommend against LRP. Premium unleaded is the way to go.

Also note that a lot of petrol station monkeys might not know what they're on about

In my area, LRP is no longer avaliable  . Doesn't matter though as I always fill up with ULP for the SA63 and PULP for the MA61

If need be, retard your timing a few degrees and just run ULP.

what would be the best way to clean the engine down its not really dirty but it seems that RA65's heat up a fair bit and when i get out there is a slight smell of burning  . im considering going to one of those cars-you-wash yourself places. and just give it a big degrease. but last time i did with my corolla though, i got water in something(dont know what) because of the guns used at the "wash yourself" places they are very highpowered. and it drove as if one of the pistons wern't firing :S
what procautions should i take ? my mate thinks i got water on the Dizzy but i am unsure
any advice ?
also im wanting to know (from ppls that own RA60-RA65 celi) how the hell do i take out the rear stock->pioneer speakers and bust in some new ones is there any guides around ?

Get a rag, dishwashing liquid and a bucket of water.
Half an hour of elbow grease and it should look good.
