I have been giving the current fuel situation some thought and i have decided that it is not a refinery problem as we have been told. I now believe this to be a conspiracy to remove imports from the streets! So far they have tried everything, whopping insurance prices, "random" defect stations that only seem to pull up imports and the new hoon laws so they can actually take our cars, but it has not been enough. They are not happy with removing imports one at a time, or banning us from the road for a week or so at a time. Some bright spark has realised that imports run on 98 octane fuel, and most of the public doesnt, so it is my theory that they have removed 98 octane in an attempt to stop all imports. The really sad thing is although a few bootleg supplies are available scattered througout Sydney the supply shortage is infact working and a significant decline in import use is occuring.

Ok, im gunna put my tinfoil hat back on because the aliens are at my front door with a video of who really shot JFK

Yep, drove from Vaucluse to Hornsby via Homebush and not a single servo had 98.

Eventually found some on the way back at Thornleigh at the Caltex there..... unbelieveable!!

Wooooo Morgs is back in Syd :whistling:

i was going to the 24hr mobil on the hume highway (m5) at pheasants nest, and yet even that not is OUT OF ORDER! found vortex 98 on blaxland rd campbelltown, although i feel awful putting that shit in my car.

no one could expect this to kill imports, or rather, performance cars. how easy is it to buy octane booster? just inconvenient and a bit pricey.

+1 for the whole situation being ludicrous.

:laughing-smiley-014:

Typical government not thinking this through well though.

I wonder what those XR6 Turbos run like on 91 RON... police will start driving around in Holden Epicas/Daewoo Toscas? :whistling:

Caltex has there own refinary..But they were still putting "out of order" on there pumps so could charge the higher price on the certain days :rant:

I found the Pheasant nest didn't have any 98 either.. and the same thing with most of the fuel stations on the way to melbourne expect for one BP out in the middle of nowhere in wangaratta VIC :whistling: still 3 hours out of Melbourne but managed to have 98RON at $1.60 a litre!!! :rofl:

Sucks if this goes on for a long while..

Too hard to do road trips and having to plot your fuel stops around town..its just f**ked!!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
