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.

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

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
