From memory every time I've bought BP Ultimate, it's been exactly 10c dearer than regular unleaded. I visited a petrol station tonight that was charging 15c more for Ultimate than regular!

Has anyone else noticed if there is a consistent difference in price between regular and ultimate?

same thing happened to me this morning... i paid 155.6... what a rip off... if i was not running late for work i would have driven away...

I got one on Sunday.

The other grand prize is a trip to Europe to sample some of the supercars, and visit the Paris Motor Show.

You can keep your Ford. I'll take the trip to Europe and hopefully get a drive of a Lambo / Fazza etc. :ermm:

Dont get too excited! I went to the perth conference for this new competition, the best of the "SUPERCARS" was a porche Boxster, maybe an S if your lucky. I would definately be taking the FPV! And that CD that people have been winning is the biggest piece of crap ever, would bother sending away for it.

Oh yeah you only have to spend $5 to get scratchie

I've had a heap of the scratchies...

No luck. :ermm:

One day when I have time and need to fill up I might throw $5 in at a time, walk in pay, walk back out another $5 and on it goes until the $70 fill cost.

14 scratchies and still probably won't win.

LOL

Please tape that for us if you do end up trying that.

Maybe try it when it's packed like after work times as well. :wub:

And yes Ultimate used to be 7-9 cents more than 91RON but then they brought out "Premium" 95RON so that takes its place and now all the BPs I fill up at are all 10 cents more for Ultimate.

Edited by ToF

there are 2 BP's near me, one charges 10c above regular unleaded, regardless, always 10c the other one seems to set a price which doesn't change, somedays ultimate will be 2c more then regular but other days it might be 15c dearer, it seems he only changes the ultimate price every shipment or somethong, not sure but it's worked in my benefit many a time

Syd North shore has a BP which used to be good.

The usual 10c above normal and nice young chickee babes working there,

"New Management" sign comes out probably a year ago now.

Crusty old bugga and his sons working there and now 15c more.

used to be my regular stop to work but have NEVER been since.

Do they think you won't notice? Geeze

You could have been there when the prices were falling by 5cent.....if you would have come back they would have changed it or the opposite could have happend and the prices were goin up

In that case you got 5 cents cheaper than the poor bastard after you... :dry:

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
