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

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
