I'm moving back to Syd this weekend after 3 months in QLD, and all this talk of 98 shortage sucks! :ninja:

If only I could fill up tanks of the stuff whilst up here before the drive back down.

I wonder how far out of Syd I should fill up before I hit the shortage zones.......

Hey guys,

Was at Norwest today having a bit of lunch..i walked over to BP...and i look over to the bowsers...no "sorry we're out of stock" things on the ultimate..so i think to myself...maybe they've just blown away or something. Anyway go inside..get to the counter, and my curiousity gets the better of me so i ask the guy if they've got ultimate back in..this is the good bit..

his answer: "YES WE DO!"

Loving it!!! hopefully picking my car up today so i know where i'm going!!!

Cheers

Nick

srsly, the shortage isn't that bad... it just started out with V Power Racing, and they actually had a reason for it! I don't know why others are out, but I have never really had any problems finding stuff... If one station was out, the very next one I went to always had some so far...

depends on your area. I have driven past 5 servos in a row (Mobil, BP, Caltex etc) and NONE of them had 98RON. However, some servos seem to be able to get it. I think if you're higher up the food chain you get it, if you aren't then stiff shit.

At first the shortage was only on mondays and tuesdays (cheapest days of the week, no coincidence I'm sure..) but now some of the smaller servos are permanently out.

I've found plenty of places with V-Power Racing. Off the top of my head; Hurstville, Kingsford and Miranda all had it last time I looked. Its a $1.65 a litre though, and could possibly be very old due to that fact. Caltex 98 is a bit easier to find however.

  • 3 weeks later...

I have been using Mobil 98 on Victoria Rd as its the only servo I can find with the 98 RON stuff.

So this morning I was filling up got to about $25 and pump slowed down then dribbled off before dying at $32. (i need about $70 for a full tank). Servo guy told me I ran the station dry of his last RON98.

BAH! :P

    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.
