so close to having to tow my car

Anyone else pull up at a bp tonight only to find the 98 pumps had sorry out of order tags over them.

Yeah i was on boarder line empty and being south of the river theres hardly any close to each other,

Drove to 5 different bp's before finding a caltex for their 98 fuel, just coz their prices are going up

tomorrow doesnt mean they can shut off supply to much needed fuel

Yeah I went to the BP on Cambridge street/harbourne and they were out of it too... I filled up with the normal 91 shit.... and wow you can really feel the difference, the car actually sounds different and it has all these weird like... lapses in power...

Hopefully they have it back soon, dont want to harm the car too much :)

You did What!!!!?!?! :thumbsup:

yeh thats what i heard my cars been running on 98 for awhile now. wont want to go any lower than that. used to run on shell premium then switched to BP Ultimate. actually made a difference when i filled the car up with ultimate.funny ive never seen or heard about shell optimax being used in perth before

only some of the bp are putting the price up.. some are not.

For example (These two petrol stations are roughly 5 mins apart)

Bp Kardinya

Today: 108.xx Tomorrow: 120.xx

However

Bp Myaree

Today: 108.9 Tomorrow: 108.5

Just have a quick glance on fuel watch and you can work out the best place to fill up thats both cheaper and not out of the way.

but of those that rnt raising their prices, which one will have 98 available at the pump is the question!

Dnt see why they wouldnt tho.

If they wanted to sell it @ a higher price they would of raised it up.

The majority of BP petrol stations according to fuel watch arent rasing the prices up tho..

i got half of tank left better start to look tomorrow!!

k from what i gather, they've put the out of order tags on just the 98 so people cant make that last second cheap dash for good fuel, while the tags were out i saw prices as low as 96.7, it was like that at scarborough, innaloo, the leach h/way one and the one off roe h/way on willery rd- this one i was leaving as an s15 was comin in, bet he wasnt happy either.

Its almost like how they had the special on the news bout some servo's putting out of order tags on the cheaper fuel pumps so people would buy the more pricey fuel, cheap pricks i say, price per barrell comes down then so should the price per litre, no questions asked!!!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
