either way, studies conducted recently said that they expect petrol to run out in 7 years unless new areas are explored. That and the current conflict with places like Iraq puts our petrol demands at an all time high.

Better enjoy your "ultimate" for the next 7 years :yes:

Nuhh thats bullshit, theyve been saying that for 20 years, its just used as an excuse so that the fuel companys can keep rising the price...

and really, whoopty f**king doo, in 7 years, oh well jsut spend $1000 odd $ and convert the fuel lines to be able to handle methonol/ethonaol problem solved >_<

Quote form a BP Ultimate brochure:

"BP Ultimate offers advanced engine cleaning performance. it actually cleans your engine as you drive, reducing friction and making it run more efficiently for longer ....... BP Ultimate can prevent as much as 97% of the inlet valve deposits that can form when using regular unleaded .......... test results from dyno testing 2 FPV GT's after the 2 vehicles had run for 7,000k's under identical conditions, the power output of the car running BP Ultimate was 13.8Kw greater..... our testing has shown increases of up to 43kms per tankful on average fuel consumption of 9.5L per 100K's" ... and the story goes on.

Thats all well and good but i wont to know HOW they got the 13.8kw increase.

Were they able to advance the ignition due ot knock levels being lower than before, were the FPV's the turbo model and they increased boost (if so then other mods required) its all well and goood saying that they had a 13.8kw increase but i for one would like to know how they found the additional power and also some dyno charts overlapping there runs.

As for the 43kms increase per tank full, again this can all come down to the tune.

When i first had my car going i was lucky to see 2ks to 10L and it was an expensive car to fill (hence why i didn't drive it much) but after a tune i saw a remarkable difference with fuel economy (i actually had economy :( )

Before the old girl went pop i was about to get 100K's from about 8L driving normally to and from work.

I was able to get 100K's from about 13-15L with gate (:wave: mmmmmmmmmm gate)

Obviously its going to make a HUGE difference with the extra RON and this will inturn let people tune there cars for more ignition and boost and if need be more fuel.

Bring it on i say and its long overdue but i would still like to see there data from tehre testing.

BP Ultimate isn't something new (it obvioulsy is to Tassie :eerm:) but its been around for a while on the mainland and i cant see that they would of changed anything to bring it to the Apple Isle.

Cheers GMB

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
