Hi.

Can someone who has been to Apollo Bay recently tell me if there are any petrol stations that sell premium unleaded, eg ultimate, mobil 8000 or something that is 98ron?

BP and mobil websites say jack s**t about it.

Thanks

I dont recall them doing it last time i was there earlier this year.

However you can get optimax from the shell in Anglesea.

Which should accomodate a thirsty car need be.

Just doing a day trip?

If you fill up just outside Geelong, you should be able to get as far as Pt. Campbell (after the 12 Apostles/London Bridge etc etc) which is another 45mins from Apollo Bay and then back again to Geelong.

Or take a different route from Pt. Campbell and go via Colac as there is Ultimate there at the last servo before you exit the town :(

Hope that helps.

Shell still have optimax?? I thought they only had 100ron now? There's none around here with Optimax.

BTW PJ you are blind because there has always been an ultimate search on the BP site :(

products/services > BP Ultimate> BP Ultimate locator

Try this link.. http://www.bp.com/iframe.do?categoryId=901...ntentId=7017653

Geelong > Apollo bay > Geelong is easily done on one tank.. it's only about 100k to apollo bay via GOR or 200k to Port Campbell

Have fun!!

As Paul says, we used them this year.

Kaz - Shell do 98RON and 100RON but 100RON is only on specific sites e.g Shell on Punt Rd. V Power is 98 and V Power Racing is 100.

Really? Cool didn't know that :) I thought there it was just V Power/100ron

Although Shell doesn't do too great in our cars anyway, lots of knock, but good to know! Thanks :)

Yeah, Shell is a funny one. Rated very highly in the UK for performance fuel, like the BP of Australia but not so here, it seems. I run mine on it when I can't get BP but my map is only for a 98RON now I think anyway which suits me a lot better as 100 is hard to come by without an additive.

Thanks guys for the responses and the information.

I am planning on taking my (hopefully) wife to be down there and i just need everything to go along smoothly.

Although it would be sorta funny running out of fuel and making her push...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
