Check out this crazy price of BP Ultimate at Tamworth (Central NSW) on friday avo as I was passing thru on my way to Sydney. I had to fill up because it was the only stop closest to Warwick and Newcastle that had Ultimate (filled up at Warwick). lucky I looked up on the BP website where the stations that had Ultimate were before I left. Has anybody paid more?

18c/L more than regular unleaded?!??

I've noticed lately that ultimate has been 9c/L more than reg. unleaded around Brisbane, which is crazy considering that optimax was only 3c/L more than regular unleaded when it was first introduced... get everyone hooked on the good stuff then jack the prices up...

yep the price is getting pretty high, especially if you need to refuel on the weekend.

Mid week you can usually buy it on the Coast for under 90 cents, but come the weekend add 5-10 cents on top of that.

Yep usually Tues, Wed and Thurs are the cheap days.

I try to top up on Thursday in the vain hope that it will carry me through to Tuesday, but as we all know the weekend is cruising time and there goes the petrol ;)

I went through warwick on my way up here, and was only a few c more expensive than rest of QLD. Me thinks they jacked it up for holiday season and a quick buck.

Last i paid was 86c a litre the other day for ultimate.

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
