Hi members as i live in bathurst we have only had 2 types of 98 fuel, ultimate and v-power wich i use but we are geting a new united servo built and i noticed they are goin 2 b selling 98 octane fuel. What are peoples opinions on the different brands as the 2 majour servos out here a making us pay heaps for fuel v-power out here is $157.9L nad hopefully united goes cheaper to help the price of fuel out here. Thanks

a few differences

marketing

price

where its stored

brand

i dont see any reasonable difference between the various brands of 98

that is, assuming that are rated all at an even 98 octane count.

also be sure to note that some refineries arent in all states, so they share resources

ie shell 98 stored in NSW might not be shell fuel, it could be caltex and vice versa

the shell refinery in sydney is going down for more maintenance again until around march next year.

they will be importing fuel from asian refineries (singapore?!)

well different brands of 98 octane fuel dont reall seem to make much difference in mine except for the ethanol blend fuel - I was forced to use some the other day since the servo's in the town which i live in don't serve normal 98, and the amount of smoke it blew was remarkably less (running a microtech with an obviously very safe tune!) also got noticeably better fuel economy.

    • Hi everyone, I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions   Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat    Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint    Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors?    Thanks

    • Just note that when trying to find a short in a globe power supply, it is best to disconnect the globe as it will allow current through to earth. With it unplugged it is easier not to get confused. Also with the r32 wiring, the high beam has 2 power supplies (one when you push the switch forward and the other when you temporarily pull it back; so if it is the high beam blowing you will need to trace both circuits

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
