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!!!

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
