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?

if it is i can see how ur tune would change anyway

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
