No, not all servos sell 98 octane. Far from it.

hmmm ok then...... every servo i have been to sells it......... but i relatively only ever go to shell caltex and bp i dont risk goin anywhere near the small unnamed ones...... had too much trouble with the shit fuel from them joints in my old car

Couldnt agree more, you never know the quality of their tanks etc. Some look decidedly dodgy.

Down around Wollongong many of the 'big' servos don't sell 98RON at all - even when it is available :\

It was only last week that I tried Vortex 98 as there was nothing else around 98-wise and my car seemed to like it as much as BP Ultimate.

I'll need to fuel up at that Caltex stop once I get there because I'll have already travelled 140 kays :blink:

Why am I still awake? lol...

The Met Bureau says at this stage:

Sunday

A few showers developing.

City: Min: 15 Max: 21

West: Min: 10 Max: 21

Think sunny weather... think sunny weather... :D:D:P

lolz well there ya go....thats probably y our opinions on "the big servos" differ........ the amount of time i drag my ass down to the gong in a year???? maybe once or twice lolz so not really in the know of things down the gong way lolz but yeah i feel ya on the dodginess of some of those smaller joints

Along the cruise their is 98 sold at

West-bound:

Eastern Creek Caltex

Glenbrook Caltex

City-bound:

Blaxland Mobil

Valley Heights BP

However it's only a 200km round trip from Eastern Creek twin servo's to Megalong Valley and back so if you need to fill up during the trip your best off visiting a mechanic instead.

Edit: I hope someone notified the Tea Rooms of all these cars attending as I mentioned earlier in the thread.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
