Vortex burns like crazy, thats why it pings.. Bigger boom more heat.

:no:

Seriously, fuel prices are f**ked. These oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia are taking everyone for a ride :P .

Australia has something like the 2nd or 3rd cheapest fuel in the world when compared in relation to the value of the dollar and average weekly earnings, with other countries.

How would you like to live in the UK and pay more in POUNDS STERLING for a litre of fuel than we pay here in dollars?

(p.s- as a side note: at current prices, it's costing around 16c/Kilometre to drive the work car around the Sydney metro area. but that's with a fair bit of A/C usage)

I havent had to buy petrol for 6months!! Last time i bought it was at like 90something cents... lol now i come back on the road in 10 days and i have to pay 150... how depressing is that! lol

Motormouth can tell you where cheap fuel is, but they don't do all servos...

In the Northern Beaches/North Shore area the cheapest is at Caltex/Woolworths at Beacon Hill for $1.479/L (for Vortex 95 anyways) and they do sell 98 there.

The servo I go to in Belrose always has the same price as Beacon Hill, but I'm guessing that would still be a massive detour for yourself lol

Where the hell did you get petrol for 90c 6 months ago? unless it was right after the ACCC investigation... other than that; it hasn't been under $1 in at least 2 years now.

iono... I'll hit up the shell as I leave work, see if they have any... then from there I don't think I pass any others...

GAY!

Doof, if that shell dont have any, ask them to ring the next local shell,saves you driving around.

Make them do the searching for you.

Edited by FATAZZ

I dont even know where the next local shell is! I should be fine for a while... might make it through the weekend maybe...

But still, a good idea :P

It's really kind of annoying too cause my daily got stolen off me cause my mothers car was leaking coolant :D

man i went to fuel up today, every service station i went to didnt have 98 octane only one that had some was BP up at frenchs forest and even that was the last pump that still had any left all the others were empty! 1.44/litre its now 14 cents more than standard ULP, it was like 10 cents more a month ago!

I stopped in 3 Shell station from Liverpool to North Ryde to get V-Power or V-Power racing and all were out... Does anyone know when there will be some petrol. I just got my license back today and had to use Vortex 98... I'd prefer to use V-Power as thats all ive ever used in my car up until today.

So yea, any1 heard anything as to when V-Power will be back?

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
