Hey guys, do you know where I can find it?

Almost had to push my car home when I found out at my local BP. Had to fill up with Vortex... ewww

yeah had some issue.

No BP, no mobile, no vortex 98

no shell near by, had to put 95 octane in.

I asked the guy working at mobil, he said that there is a 98ron shortage in victoria for some reason, so mobil and bp whom share the same fuel refinery are gonna be all out pretty soon. Next shipment is meant to be Friday, so the guy said. Vpower will have to do until then!!

i had the same issue tonight, went to mobil on bridge road richmond - none. went to bp on swan st - none. the only bp ultimate i found was on church st, and even then i hate using that fuel, im loyal to synergy 8000.

Will find out today and try and post up during business hours but can only access SAU via the iphone.

Was planning to do so anyway as I went to Elwood and Kings Way last night for Ultimate. Then Kings Way Caltex and no Vortex 98 so ended up heading to Todd Road Shell for V Power. :happy:

Hahaha, sorry should have been more specific. Found out both BP stations near my house have run out of BP ultimate - my usual fuel. Still the case today.

So if there is no BP ultimate, what would people recommend as the next best 98? Did a search, but didn't turn up anything.

Any 98 will do

Really? I always heard that BP ultimate was the best, and the overwhelming majority of Jap car drivers seem to use it in preference. Considering they're all similar price, I just stuck with it because it would have a lower probability than the others of being an inferior fuel, as well as being the most populous service station around my area.

Don't know what it's worth, but certainly BP ultimate has a lot more info on the website vs the pathetic one paragraph descriptions of Vortex/V-Power/Synergy 8000, which all seem to have been written by the same guy. Most likely BP has better web designers/marketing managers, but it doesn't hurt.

I did here something about all of them coming from the same refinery, but I guess the difference is the additives they put in?

      You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.

      Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.

      Coilovers, what to choose?

      I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN

      100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
