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?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
