so close to having to tow my car

Anyone else pull up at a bp tonight only to find the 98 pumps had sorry out of order tags over them.

Yeah i was on boarder line empty and being south of the river theres hardly any close to each other,

Drove to 5 different bp's before finding a caltex for their 98 fuel, just coz their prices are going up

tomorrow doesnt mean they can shut off supply to much needed fuel

Yeah I went to the BP on Cambridge street/harbourne and they were out of it too... I filled up with the normal 91 shit.... and wow you can really feel the difference, the car actually sounds different and it has all these weird like... lapses in power...

Hopefully they have it back soon, dont want to harm the car too much :)

You did What!!!!?!?! :thumbsup:

yeh thats what i heard my cars been running on 98 for awhile now. wont want to go any lower than that. used to run on shell premium then switched to BP Ultimate. actually made a difference when i filled the car up with ultimate.funny ive never seen or heard about shell optimax being used in perth before

only some of the bp are putting the price up.. some are not.

For example (These two petrol stations are roughly 5 mins apart)

Bp Kardinya

Today: 108.xx Tomorrow: 120.xx

However

Bp Myaree

Today: 108.9 Tomorrow: 108.5

Just have a quick glance on fuel watch and you can work out the best place to fill up thats both cheaper and not out of the way.

but of those that rnt raising their prices, which one will have 98 available at the pump is the question!

Dnt see why they wouldnt tho.

If they wanted to sell it @ a higher price they would of raised it up.

The majority of BP petrol stations according to fuel watch arent rasing the prices up tho..

i got half of tank left better start to look tomorrow!!

k from what i gather, they've put the out of order tags on just the 98 so people cant make that last second cheap dash for good fuel, while the tags were out i saw prices as low as 96.7, it was like that at scarborough, innaloo, the leach h/way one and the one off roe h/way on willery rd- this one i was leaving as an s15 was comin in, bet he wasnt happy either.

Its almost like how they had the special on the news bout some servo's putting out of order tags on the cheaper fuel pumps so people would buy the more pricey fuel, cheap pricks i say, price per barrell comes down then so should the price per litre, no questions asked!!!

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
