Woo Hoo!!!!! Ultimate 98 in Burnie from 8am tomorrow! Finally!

Had a look at the bowser and it's going to cost $1.57.9 That's 9c dearer than PULP (1.48.9) which is 7c dearer than ULP (1.41.9) here in Burnie.

When I was in Orange(NSW) last week and filled up the renter ULP was 1.45.8 So we're not that had done by here as a regional area!

Any RB turbo deserves 98 whether it's stock or modified! IMHO

I've used 98 on the mainland in both my Skylines and it's well worth the extra $4.50 (@ 9c for 50ltrs here in Burnie) for the benifits I have seen! Again IMHA

Wogboy, R u getting better economy and a bit more power?

When I cruise to hobart and back (been down that way afew times in the R34) I 'll average around the 450-480km for 55ltrs.

When I was over on the mainland at easter time (with the R34) got a full tank of 98 in Melb and used it for the 3 weeks I was there and aveaged 500-550km for 55ltrs and the car felt half a gear better!

I love the stuff! Can't wait to run a few tanks thru and get another dyno tune!

You are spot on wogboy- ... being designed as JDM, Japan has much better fuel than we have here in Oz, don't quote me but 98 is the norm. So running on 95, you are right at the bottom of the ECU range. I have 3 engines stuffed purely because of dud fuel.

So the rest should follow your lead, and treat their engines with some respect.

I think given our current fuel status that the oil companies will now phase out 91RON... it is only realy good for lawn mowers and starting fires anyhow.

The pricing is OK. Using 19.95 for booster and 95Ron has us paying 1.84 / litre. See ya soon Rosie, with a trailer full of drums.

Ok cool... so now you guys have got 98RON ultimate, here's the next thing to hope for!

and fuel is soo cheap there too - $2.25/ltr when I was living there 6 months ago

Well I just got some at BP Glenorchy, I called in to Hobart (Brooker) but they hadn't set it up yet but told me it would be going in a few hours.

I didn't expect any power increase but I must say it feels a hell or a lot smoother to redline.

I paid 1.54.9

not bad I think.

Cheers

I filled up 3.0R Libery I have at the moment with Ultimate at BP Booker just before - $1.54.9 p/l. I paid the same price for 95RON just four days ago!

Just filled my R34 with 98 (Yum! Yum!) and what a surprise went down to $1.54.9 was $1.57.9 yesterday!

Took 50ltrs, so that's $3.00 more for the good stuff! (PULP was $1.48.9) Well worth it!

Its at every site which the exception on BP Newnham and Southbound. BP St Helens won't have it til next week.

As for the price it was going to be 157.9 then 159.9!?!?!? then went down to 154.9. BP had sent through the wrong cost price

I'll try running my baby on 26 psi again and see if it'll handle it on Ultimate, with the right oil pressure, top pistons and the a GOOD driver behind the wheel;) NOT REALLY!!!

Not long now. She should be boostin out of the workshop next week and hopefully it'll make it's first trip down to Hobart for the drifting

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
