No BP, no mobile, no vortex 98

I asked the guy working at mobil, he said that there is a 98ron shortage in victoria for some reason, so mobil and bp whom share the same fuel refinery are gonna be all out pretty soon. Next shipment is meant to be Friday, so the guy said. Vpower will have to do until then!!

Will find out today and try and post up during business hours but can only access SAU via the iphone.

Was planning to do so anyway as I went to Elwood and Kings Way last night for Ultimate. Then Kings Way Caltex and no Vortex 98 so ended up heading to Todd Road Shell for V Power. :happy:

Hahaha, sorry should have been more specific. Found out both BP stations near my house have run out of BP ultimate - my usual fuel. Still the case today.

So if there is no BP ultimate, what would people recommend as the next best 98? Did a search, but didn't turn up anything.

Any 98 will do

Really? I always heard that BP ultimate was the best, and the overwhelming majority of Jap car drivers seem to use it in preference. Considering they're all similar price, I just stuck with it because it would have a lower probability than the others of being an inferior fuel, as well as being the most populous service station around my area.

Don't know what it's worth, but certainly BP ultimate has a lot more info on the website vs the pathetic one paragraph descriptions of Vortex/V-Power/Synergy 8000, which all seem to have been written by the same guy. Most likely BP has better web designers/marketing managers, but it doesn't hurt.

I did here something about all of them coming from the same refinery, but I guess the difference is the additives they put in?

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
