No more 8000 at the bayside/brighton mobil.

No Ultimate at the bayside or southbank BP's.

No Vortex at Elsternwick.

I had to borrow my mum's subaru after I limped my car to my folks house on the sniff of a damp rag =( Last time I run that far below 1/4 tank.

Reason? Every one of my cars has been run on Shell. I've only filled up a few times on any other fuel, and it doesn't run the same.

i found it didnt like as much timing in the datto, and it ran crappy, and stagea feels like arse on it, mrs's old supra did too... datto's head gasket went on shell, only fuel friends have done head gaskets on is shell, so i will follow my theory that you may think is silly, and i will say i dont like it!

well kew bp has been out for a week now.

i went to mobil today on glenferrie road there out of 8000

does anyone know why this is? and isnt it suss that it one place it out of premium they all are.?

its very frustrating. 95octane+aircon= crap ride

Octane boosters dont do anything. They are bad news.

BP on FTG Road Oakleigh was out of 98

BP on Princes near Wellington Rd was out of 98

BP on Centre Road near Clayton Rd was out of 98

=

95 and -5 deg of timing on the PFC just to be safe...

I spoke to the guy at Centre Rd and he said there was no more until Monday, more is coming Monday.

WTF is going on???!

It was hard enough for me to put 95 in my car for less than 30kms before i got to a servo that had 98

Using 91 would be like pouring cats piss into the tank mate :domokun:

Not a good thing, 95 if you HAVE too and take it easy... 91 is just wrong town, drive very easy and slowly :P

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
