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!!

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?

    • Solid update, got all the downforces now.  You going to be running aus time attack again? love the jacking solution, spend the dollars on what makes it go fast is best way.
    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
