With the ever growing prices of petrol these days, i have decided to make a petrol price thread, to help save some bucks when it comes to filling up our pride and joy. If you come across a well priced petrol (98 octane only) please post away. List down the the Price, date, time, and which store/location. For Example:

$1.23/L

27/03/07

8:00 AM

Shell - Burwood Highway, Vermont South Shopping Centre

Hopefully this works, and we can all save, especailly when it comes to filling up alot of litres. Remember, if you have any Docket voulchers use them! you can then save a few extra cents on a litre.

Buy 100 octane Shell V Power Racing and just suck it up.

And drive your Skyline rarely.

hey where can we get that? I read on the shell website that the Vermont station has it, but when I went there, it just had normal v power. Not v power racing......

anywhere else i can go to get it?

98's are about 10c more expencive than the ULP board price. Like whats been said fill on a Tuesday or before lunch on a Wednesday. Mobiles are the usually the first to go up and the rest follow fairly quickly. Today you should be able to get 98's for about 128.9. Don't pay more than 138.5 over the next few days, but filling early in the week is the go. If you are a BP shopper then they have a credit card through City Bank that gives you 5% off of every thing at BP and 1% off of every other purchase. And then your normal fuel dockets at most other places. Thats about all the info you need.

If you're at the stage where it's important to you that you can manage to save 30c on a tank of fuel, it may be time to consider buying a different car.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
