i rather walk than use shell!!!

ROFL. That's kinda how I felt as the Vortex was going in.

Hi all,

Im new to all this, i went to fill up 2day and no BP ultimate, so I just filled up with 91, is that bad?? can i get away with it this time....

:domokun:

91 in a tuned turbo car... I would pump out all the fuel out of your tank and replace it with 98 when it becomes available. 91 is for fleet/company/old crappy family cars you don't give a sh*t about. You do know there is Premium 95 at BP if there is no Ultimate 98 right?

no bp 98 at sunshine BP too.

i saw the 98 truck on weds when i went to fuel up. but he hasn't start yet or whatever. so i put in 95. came back today, and nope still no 98. so 95 again for me , that's not bad on a non turbo r33 right?

guy told me that there;s no 98 till next week

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!

My mechanic did his gaskets in his rally car with Shell.

He said the fuel is too dry for the car and he said something about Optimax containing Toilean (Spelling). Well thats his own experiance anyway...

Thats probley the additive cleaning agent to keep the engine clean, but dries it out at extreme temps hence your gaskets going.

So he needed a 'wetter' fuel, so BP or Mobil was the go and no probs after that.

Im sure there are other factors involved.

Back on topic, I filled up with Mobil Synergy 8000 98 RON.

haha, happens that my motor in my 16 was an ex-rally motor freshened up

Ultimate deliveries are increasing.

Now also on Melton Hwy in Taylors Lakes outbound

Bell St in Corurg got a delivery at 4:30pm today I filled up there at 5 as I saw it pull in 30mins before and was just around the corner. Nothing like fresh fuel.

Still none at Melton BP on High st though

Fuel on Nepean Hwy/North Road BP ultimate with no issues last night, I think its starting to get back into stock.

Apparently nearly all 98 is coming from the Mobil refinery, not including Shell Optimax

Man, dunno how many times I have said it, probably not many actually. BP DO NOT get their fuel from the Mobil refinery! They have their own refineries Kiwana in WA comes to mind. Look here post 26

Then for more info

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
