BP is the only refinery in WA anyway, so technically it'll still be BP.

Usually other Brands put there own magic additives in the blend...

but otherwise it'll mean 98 will be easier to get in those situations where you would normally have to hunt for a BP... i think everyone here has had that experience at least once.

ok... who here every time they fill up on bp ultimate put a bottle of octane booster in as well? ive heard that the fuel in japan is 101 octane and that with our fuel we should put in a bottle of octane booster aswell

that would probably make your fuel 98.1 octane and give your plugs a beautiful orange colour

Dan, there actually some good octane boosters out there. Besides orange is pretty.

Can anyone CONFIRM where Peak get their 98 octane from. Is it in fact BP or is it from Singapore?

Well this is great news. The only reason I went to BP was because they were the only ones who had it, now that peak and caltex do i'll be able to shop around. Sure i'll probably only save a few cents each time I fill up, but it's more about the principal :laugh: (and the fact that I hate BP because they are always more expensive and bump up their prices randomly with no valid justification for doing so except to rip people off)

Well they all change their prices randomly. BP is no different.

Anyway why do you hate them so much. Just think where we would all be if BP didn't sell 98 Octane?

Just been on the phone to Peak. They often source their finsihed product from Singapore, but the chemist said their 98 is sourced from a Mobil refinery and is the same spec as the Utimate. I assume Caltex is sourced from one of their east coast refineries but I have not been able to confirm this.

Forgein ayyy! Good info skylion.

Should be cheaper but wont be as they colude to keep prices artificially high. Depending on what, if anything, is used to boost the octane rating, toluene (methylbenzene or phenylmethane) or ethanol it is reasonable to expect your tune up to change. I would be very careful with trying different fuel, check your AFR's and be prepared to make the changes. Hp gains have been made by Skyliners on the East Coast using Ethanol boosted fuels. Caveat emptor

Nicking fuel from the airport LOL mmmmm JetA1

imagine running jet avo fuel and having a bee*r limiter!!! = massive flames

pop, pop, pop, KERBANG, wooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!

wouldn't adding ethanol and/or toulene be a good thing for your car as it burns better and cleaner?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
