Hi guys.

I just wanted to list all the places that sell racing fuels around Sydney.

I've got prices from BP and Shell for their AVGAS based racing fuels which I'll post below.

All prices inclusive of GST

Shell Racing Fuel 100

MON= 100 RON= 108

Phone- 131618

20L = $39.31atm works out to $1.97/L

200L = $235.84 + $38 for drum = $273.84 works out to $1.37/L

BP 100

MON= 100 RON= 104

Phone- 4572 3113

20L = $48 works out to $2.4/L

200L (AVGAS) = $309 works out to 1.54/L

For all these fuels you will need CAMS license (looks at Dino:rolleyes: ) and a log book. Check with your council for storage permission.

Anyone else know where AVGAS can be bought please post it.

Cheers

Yep I know where you can get AVGAS George but there is a HUGE fine from the EPA for using it on the street. Apparently the fine is levied per cylinder and the guy I heard of got busted in a V-8 and was slugged with a $20 000 fine. :eek:

Hume Performance out Liverpool way sell VP racing fuel.

Bit pricey ($100 for 20L) but damn my engine ran alot cooler, idled so low, idled and revved out so smoothly.

As for extra grunt i dont think it made much difference. Needed to be running more boost or different tune to get the most out of the VP109 (i think thats what it was called)

Oh and still legal as it doesnt contain lead like avgas. I gets its better octane rating due to the fact that is oxygenated, and has a few other little additives in there.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
