Unfortunatly Tas is a bit behind, no 98 fuel at the pump, best bet is Burnie Mitsubishi, I beleive they keep is in 200ltr drums for STi's etc. If your about on the weekend call in to the garage should be there workin' on my young blokes car.

i will pop in on saturday monring then, i hear you have some nice mods to your beast now.

Will be good to catch up

If you make it to launy let me know, you can get 98ron at shell on tamar st. expensive though.

i will be in launceston next friday for a while so, if you see me give a shout

i will cal past the shell, i dont mind the price i just need some good feul, up here all ican do is vortex (96ron) and put some octane boost in it, which i dont like doing to my engine due to the amount of internal mods

we saw you in town lastnight!! sweet ride

yeah thought i would drive round and see whats happening which not alot was but that was ok as i was just cruising.

was good to get back to launi, took my mate who has the XR6 for a ride and well after that he dont want to race me any more :aroused:

I went to the shell on tamar street and they wouldnt give me optimax, but for 1.55 per litre i just got premiuim plus octane boost and its runing ok on that.

I was going to go into the car park but i didnt know if any of the guys from here would be there

I went to the shell on tamar street and they wouldnt give me optimax

What?! serious? I know they are strict with who they give it to (being only high performance cars) but geez.

Nice wrx btw.

They told me they can't get high octane fuel in Tassie, and probably won't...

I've been running Vortex with Octane boost... the only time it ever stops pinging...

But damn it gets expensive.. Especially in a 5.8 litre V8....

1000 rpm, 2000 rpm,, 3000 rpm (stall kicks in) there goes $25 fuel lol

Was talking to a local shell rep and he said they are trying to get optimax at a couple of servos from the pump, but he said that it looks like it wont happen until lrp is banned(these pumps will be converted to accept optimax). Maybe a petition would help, even if one servo has lrp and the one up the road has optimax instead?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
