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

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
