Hi guys.

I just wanted to list all the places that sell racing fuels around Sydney.

I've got prices from BP and Shell for their AVGAS based racing fuels which I'll post below.

All prices inclusive of GST

Shell Racing Fuel 100

MON= 100 RON= 108

Phone- 131618

20L = $39.31atm works out to $1.97/L

200L = $235.84 + $38 for drum = $273.84 works out to $1.37/L

BP 100

MON= 100 RON= 104

Phone- 4572 3113

20L = $48 works out to $2.4/L

200L (AVGAS) = $309 works out to 1.54/L

For all these fuels you will need CAMS license (looks at Dino:rolleyes: ) and a log book. Check with your council for storage permission.

Anyone else know where AVGAS can be bought please post it.

Cheers

Yep I know where you can get AVGAS George but there is a HUGE fine from the EPA for using it on the street. Apparently the fine is levied per cylinder and the guy I heard of got busted in a V-8 and was slugged with a $20 000 fine. :eek:

Hume Performance out Liverpool way sell VP racing fuel.

Bit pricey ($100 for 20L) but damn my engine ran alot cooler, idled so low, idled and revved out so smoothly.

As for extra grunt i dont think it made much difference. Needed to be running more boost or different tune to get the most out of the VP109 (i think thats what it was called)

Oh and still legal as it doesnt contain lead like avgas. I gets its better octane rating due to the fact that is oxygenated, and has a few other little additives in there.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
