What I am saying is that the vortex here is BP ultimate. Its actually 98 ron bp fuel.

The reasoning this guy gave me for caltex not calling it vortex 98 is because the real ron figure can be anywhere between 95-98. BP dont care that its often lower then 98, but caltex promise it to be atleast 95, hence the 95 ron rating.

I still find it all a little wack, were the catlex premium pumps running out at the same time as BPs?

Edited by noise

I used vortex when there was no ultimate and some caltex's were running out. Attendant said that they wouldn't have any until middle of december, thought it was a bit of a coincidence that it was the same time ultimate was meant to be back.

Maybe our vortex is just ultimate that's been cut with lower grade fuel to make it 96 ron.

I've visited Dulux factory and apparently they manufacture competitors paints as well (a specificed ingredients list is provided by the compititor), because it is relatively expensive to buy the machinery, so competitor just 'piggy back' of Dulux...this is why even though more ppl chose to buy rather cheaper generic brands, Dulux never went bankrupt...

imagine that there is only 1 refinery in W.A....so the companies, BP, caltex, other fuels basically come from the same spot, only that different companies have their own "secret ingredient" such that the refinery have to refine these petrol according to the clients specification.

now what if the refinery is owned by BP....BP will process fuel for the competitor..and the competitor sell cheaper fuel ... However, BP needs to keep it's image up..and hence they produce the only 98 Octane Fuel in W.A....BP domination...muahhaha

probably in the case of Eastern State, the amount of population is enough for each individual companies to set up their own refinery and keep it profitable...therefore 4 different 98 octanes to choose from... BP does not dominate the market anymore....

This checks out with the unavailabity of vortex in the same timing as Ultimate...but then again I might be wrong...don't have the fact sheets on me....

    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
