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.

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

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
