it used to be everytime i go to a shell / bp / caltex on a tuesday they are out of most types of petrol. now it seems that it occurs on any day.

is this happening all over the country?

i read somewhere on the net that 2008 would be the year in which oil demand is greater than oil production. i wonder if its happened and thats why its getting harder to get petrol.

where will it end? if its hard to get 'cheap' petrol now, maybe in 5 years time it will be hard to get petro period?

or im just rambling :D

one of the petrol guys told me it was a refinery problem. said they had a bad batch and had to cancel fuel sales. but when it kept happenin every week the same petrol station worker just shrugged his shoulders

i can't find the other thread :D

yes its really starting to P me off big time too....I cant remember the last time I even seen 98 on sale.As for the other pumps most of the time they are out of order too....maybe have a couple standard unleaded pumps going ...just not good enough..we are paying big dollar for this crap, I expect better.Half the time i cant even get E10 let alone premium 95....I dont know what the other states are experiencing but I hope its not as bad as we got it

I don't even bother going to Shell anymore, they never seem to have V Power available.

I go to the Caltex and they always have 98 available.

Same with BP... the pricks..

I rather fill up on sundays now...

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
