"Hi xxxxx,

You are correct; fuel companies at the moment are experiencing a shortage in stock due to a refinery issue earlier this year and therefore running low on certain fuels. This is an industry wide problem, so BP is not the only company experiencing these difficulties.

At the moment, the quoted time in which this problem will be rectified is April, however I cannot guarantee this.

Bp does aplogise to all our loyal customers for this inconvenience and I assure you that BP is doing everything humanly possible to get the stock levels back up to standards.

As BP is committed to providing quality fuels to our customers no

alternative has been adopted as yet.

Kind Regards

Well until the 98RON fuel gods decide to stock us up again, I think that this would be a good thread to list places where 98RON CAN still be bought. Would you be happy to update the first thread with locations Sam or should I start a new thread?

To get the ball rolling:

Friday 21st March - BP Victoria Rd, Rydalmere - BP Ultimate 98

lucky i have half a tank and my car won't be driven till like autosalon or something lol

Most 98RON petrols "go off" so to speak after around 2 weeks. The additives they use break down and it is no longer 98RON.

In saying that, I wouldn't be keeping any petrol in the car for a long period of time.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
