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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
