I have been giving the current fuel situation some thought and i have decided that it is not a refinery problem as we have been told. I now believe this to be a conspiracy to remove imports from the streets! So far they have tried everything, whopping insurance prices, "random" defect stations that only seem to pull up imports and the new hoon laws so they can actually take our cars, but it has not been enough. They are not happy with removing imports one at a time, or banning us from the road for a week or so at a time. Some bright spark has realised that imports run on 98 octane fuel, and most of the public doesnt, so it is my theory that they have removed 98 octane in an attempt to stop all imports. The really sad thing is although a few bootleg supplies are available scattered througout Sydney the supply shortage is infact working and a significant decline in import use is occuring.

Ok, im gunna put my tinfoil hat back on because the aliens are at my front door with a video of who really shot JFK

i was going to the 24hr mobil on the hume highway (m5) at pheasants nest, and yet even that not is OUT OF ORDER! found vortex 98 on blaxland rd campbelltown, although i feel awful putting that shit in my car.

no one could expect this to kill imports, or rather, performance cars. how easy is it to buy octane booster? just inconvenient and a bit pricey.

+1 for the whole situation being ludicrous.

:laughing-smiley-014:

Typical government not thinking this through well though.

I wonder what those XR6 Turbos run like on 91 RON... police will start driving around in Holden Epicas/Daewoo Toscas? :whistling:

Caltex has there own refinary..But they were still putting "out of order" on there pumps so could charge the higher price on the certain days :rant:

I found the Pheasant nest didn't have any 98 either.. and the same thing with most of the fuel stations on the way to melbourne expect for one BP out in the middle of nowhere in wangaratta VIC :whistling: still 3 hours out of Melbourne but managed to have 98RON at $1.60 a litre!!! :rofl:

Sucks if this goes on for a long while..

Too hard to do road trips and having to plot your fuel stops around town..its just f**ked!!

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
