Damn too far away, since we on same subject if youre south of the river the cheapest Bp I rekon is the one on Nichalson Rd near High road.

yeah, they seem to be consistently cheaper than the others. The only problem I've found with them is that a day or 2 before the high price cycle kicks in, the out of order signs on the 98 pumps go up. In all the time I've been using 98 Ron fuel, I have never seen any other BP station run out of 98 (except early this year when premium or better was out for everyone).

At BP Langford, it happens all the time and I queried it with them and they kept saying that they were waiting for the delivery. I'd accept that if it happened once, but not consistently and considering supplies come from their own refinery, I'm not going to accept that there has been delays in delivery of 98, on a regular basis as is the case with BP langford. After all, BP are the only service stations that have 98 in WA.

I'm thinking that a majority of the 98 they buy is at the low price cycle and they get premium dollars for it, as they are selling a majority of it at the higher price cycle. You will find that when their price is at it's lowest, it will be a day or 2 before the high price cycle kicks in and that day or 2 is when the "out of order" signs go up. So in effect their low price is bogus as they allegedly don't have any to sell.

They bank on the fact that most, if not all will settle for premium 95, so in effect they don't lose any sales. They just make a lot more out of their Ultimate 98. It's funny how they don't run short of any of their other fuels.

I hadn't been there for months and just happened to check them out last week and sure enough, same thing was happening. One of these days I'm going to get off my ass and have them checked out. That kind of thing craps me off, more for the point of wasting peoples time in going there expecting to get the fuel they want at the price they have advertised only to find that they don't have any or so they say.

Price really doesn't bother me these days. If i need fuel and some BP is the closest with 1.47 I will just go there..not worth driving around wasting fuel just to save a few.....$$$$

im the same, if i need fuel, ill buy it at the closest BP there is.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
