ive given up on 98ron so i now look for BP Premium or Mobil Premium, that is still a bitch!!

NO! dont give up the dream!

man my car ran like a dog on the 2nd last batch of 98 i got. i cant bear to imagine what 95 would be like. might as well just piss in your injectors.

im considering using octane booster regularly. lost one of my engines from detonation, anything to prevent that happening again...

Yep, drove from Vaucluse to Hornsby via Homebush and not a single servo had 98.

Eventually found some on the way back at Thornleigh at the Caltex there..... unbelieveable!!

If you want 98 close to Vaucluse, go to the caltex on old south head road near the blair st intersection (across from where the golf course starts)

I have filled up with 98 from there in the last two weeks without an issue.

I just got effed in the A... rocked up to the servo on the main road and they had traffic cones blocking the driveway!

And a truck probably filling the bowsers... though the driver looked shonky... I think he knows we're onto them :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, the new shell and bp pumps actually give read outs to customers how many litres have been seen pulled through the pump, the 98 stuff is like 100,000 ontop of the rest..

Grannys love the power in their excels too..

To add to your quest for fuel Vortex is avaliable, its got more power in it too :)

thats precisely the problem. boat drivers (sailors?) with delusions of grandeur(powah).

quote macarthur chronicle mar25:

"...like many in the community i am struggling to make ends meet. Filling up my 2003 Holden Commodore...

...My car runs best on Shell fuel...

...I went to the Mt Annan station and every single premium unleaded bowser was 'out of fuel'. The only fuel available was the cheap ethanol blend which i will not put in my car."

so there you have it.

the problem is actually struggling family men stealing our 98ockers to waste it in their bombodore bongo wagons. i hope they are enjoying the improved performance and the increased inflation due to their spurious spending.

what a jerk-off.

So polite about it :)

Hey, all the servos i've been to have about 100-200,000 more litres on the 91 clocks. The second most used is 98. 95 is the odd one out. Tight arses (or for Dr Doof, tight A's :D ) don't wanna spend extra on it, and performance drivers and bogan drivers alike won't allow the energy crises to defeat us!!!

Maybe all the burnouts i hear at night are those grannies in their stock excelboxes.

so there you have it.

They mustn't be struggling if they can raise a family of monkeys AND pay $1.60/L on Thursdays!

So erm, has anyone actually heard WHY there is no premium fuel? The last one I heard was that the refinery at Kurnell or wherever had to stop for a day which delayed the supply of fuel for two weeks or something... But i dont think that is related to this because that was a while ago.

Anyone heard anything else?

A catalytic cracker malfunctioned, and while it was temporarily shut down, they decided to do a scheduled shut down of the entire plant for up keep or whatever the f**k reason... it was going to be a few months later, but they decided to push it forwards...

They were also going to import V power Racing I believe to cover losses...

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.

what about adding tolune to the mix?

well if worse comes to worse i will add toluene, as found in many octane boosters. but i shouldnt bloody well have to. is it my fault? why should have to pay for it? why cant i just be provided with 98octane fuel at so-called "service" stations? last time i checked we werent a 3rd world country.

      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.
