Damn too far away, since we on same subject if youre south of the river the cheapest Bp I rekon is the one on Nichalson Rd near High road.

yeah, they seem to be consistently cheaper than the others. The only problem I've found with them is that a day or 2 before the high price cycle kicks in, the out of order signs on the 98 pumps go up. In all the time I've been using 98 Ron fuel, I have never seen any other BP station run out of 98 (except early this year when premium or better was out for everyone).

At BP Langford, it happens all the time and I queried it with them and they kept saying that they were waiting for the delivery. I'd accept that if it happened once, but not consistently and considering supplies come from their own refinery, I'm not going to accept that there has been delays in delivery of 98, on a regular basis as is the case with BP langford. After all, BP are the only service stations that have 98 in WA.

I'm thinking that a majority of the 98 they buy is at the low price cycle and they get premium dollars for it, as they are selling a majority of it at the higher price cycle. You will find that when their price is at it's lowest, it will be a day or 2 before the high price cycle kicks in and that day or 2 is when the "out of order" signs go up. So in effect their low price is bogus as they allegedly don't have any to sell.

They bank on the fact that most, if not all will settle for premium 95, so in effect they don't lose any sales. They just make a lot more out of their Ultimate 98. It's funny how they don't run short of any of their other fuels.

I hadn't been there for months and just happened to check them out last week and sure enough, same thing was happening. One of these days I'm going to get off my ass and have them checked out. That kind of thing craps me off, more for the point of wasting peoples time in going there expecting to get the fuel they want at the price they have advertised only to find that they don't have any or so they say.

Price really doesn't bother me these days. If i need fuel and some BP is the closest with 1.47 I will just go there..not worth driving around wasting fuel just to save a few.....$$$$

im the same, if i need fuel, ill buy it at the closest BP there is.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
