Guys just received the fuelwatch update:

ULP PRICE HIKE ALERT

========================

Today nearly half of the BP sites across the metropolitan area hiked their unleaded petrol(ULP)price, by up to 8 cpl to 139.9 cpl. The other half of BP sites and two thirds of Coles sites are following tomorrow. This signals the start of a new price cycle, however there are still many opportunities to save – there are over 170 sites in Perth selling ULP tomorrow for under 132.0 cpl

If you are low on petrol should pump today. :worship:

I seen this morning that BP Wanneroo was $1.39 a litre, then this afternoon on my way home BP Woodvale was $1.31. Since we are talking about 2km difference that sucks big time. I need to get some tonight then instead because I would have to fill up on my way home from TAFE tomorrow anyway. *sigh*

BP = wankers.

filled up today, thanks for the word of warning you saved me 8c/L. I use fuel watch every week to find out where the cheapest petrol is around me, never look on Sunday because I’m usually broke from the weekend.

den buy a mira and stop whinning...

its great ppl are teling us there's gonna b a price hike, thats wat fuelwatch is for (www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au/prices/top100.cfm) but if ur gonna whine bout petrol being exp, ur a student and shit den live wif a shit life and buy a cheap slow ass fuel saver.

petrol is petrol, rant all u want, even if it was $2/L i'll still pay for it. beats the hell out of replying on australia's unreliable public transport system.

i agree wif Strich9. whining bout fuel is soo yesturday.

*end rant*

*slp*

Driving a nice car comes at a price, the question is are you willing to pay for that price? And yep, it looks like petrol isnt about to get cheaper anytime soon so we all have to get use to it. Gone were the days when my dad used to complain about it being 0.75/L and he thought that was expensive.

Edited by JUNR34

It's not the price of petrol that pisses me off on it's own, it's the fact that fuel at BP is ALWAYS more expensive than anywhere else, and there is a refinery in WA!!! I only go there (Like probably almost all of us) because we don't have a choice, and we're never going to win. Fuel is $2 a litre then I have to pay that because I need my car, it's not like I'm going to say "No, I'm not buying petrol, that will show them".

Right now the Aussie dollar is fairly strong, a few weeks ago a weak aussie dollar was part of an excuse for the price of petrol, now it's doing nothing for us & it's not mentioned.

But you know what really grinds my gears? Not putting the clutch in fully. :)

i just pull up and dont even bother looking at price anymore or i would cry @ the price it is lately but its no use complaining coz the govt will never reduce the excise at its too much of a money spinner for them

So what your saying is that if you drive a nice car you SHOULD pay more for petrol - MORE for insurance - MORE for transfers / registration - MORE for excess.

So lets all drive around shit box's that will get yellowed - 6bucks every 5days - = 73 fillups a year - can you afford $440 a year wasted - some of the people can't there point is just because you have a nice car you should have to pay more....

my skyline is $10 more expensive than my 90 Nova Hatch to register...

and transfer is based on 3% of the total sale value plus stamp duty and some other fee...

insurance i can understand due to the car my age and full comp and the damage one can cause in it compared to the nova so no complaints there...

regardless of what we bitch about the fuel price wont change :ermm: and soon enough we will be paying $2.00p/l... it sucks but deal with it i guess...

and sammie... we all warned you about this. your still at school first car is a skyline congrats but youll find out the hard way...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
