Just heard on the radio that theres something wrong with BPs ultimate refinary here in Perth and the supply of ultimate is going to dry up in the next couple of days until they get it fixed, my local is already empty had to go somewhere else.

Not sure if this affects anywhere else in the country but thought people might want to get a full tank while they can :(

Apparently the supply of BP ultimate and premium fuel in Perth won't resume until the end of the month. BP in my area already has no Ultimate or Premium left at all. Had to go to Caltex and get regular 95 octane Premium. BP is the only servo in my area with 98 octane.

If anyone in Perth finds a servo with 98 octane fuel left be sure to share the knowledge!!!

hey wat about the mobil stuff??? i 4 get wat its called but a mates off chops sr20 turbo pulsar wont run on anything but that

Synergy 8000, yeh thats pretty good.

I find Vortex 98 runs nice in mine if theres no Ultimate.

Unfortunately where I live only has 95 so running 98 isn't that common of an occurance :D Anything 98RON is better than 95 though

so the shortage won't effect the east coast then?

our BP on the e coast is really just Shell with BP additives right?

Only markets which receive petrol from the Quinnana BP refinery are affected. So basically a lot of Western Australia and not really anywhere else. If your on the East Coast your fine.

I filled up this arvo at BP Myaree on Leach Highway, so they've still got petrol for now.

Cheers for the heads up! That's a bit far from me, so I got premium 95 octane from Caltex and added octane booster. One tank on 95 probably wouldn't hurt, but I'm obsessive :huh:

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
