Outlet in Adelaide selling 100 Octane Unleaded fuel from a normal pump, and has been selling for well over a year now. Says it's road legal, however I asked them for specifications and who the supplier/manufacturer is but no cooperation. Selling for $1.38/L and stays at that price so for some reason not affected by oil price. Price is pretty good for the odd drag, track or dyno day. Better than stuffing around with Toluene or fouling plugs with octane boosters. I've never tried it BTW.

Would anyone know what product this is? Is is possibly the Mobil Avgas Green 100/115?

Hey mate, is the place you are talking about a Liberty/Southern Cross servo or something like that, I have seen one servo selling it out near Tilbrooks, all I remember was it wasn't a big oil company type servo and the owner had a yellow Silvia/180SX

Probably just 96 octane unleaded with 15% Toluene added by the owner.

Would be good if you could get 100 octane from the pump, BP used to sell 100 octane 'racing' fuel a while ago, I suspect this was avgas

It is on OG road. Is 100 octane. Matt has used it. Told me about it not long ago. Forgot to mention it.

Yes, it's the Southern Cross place on OG Rd. I've known about it for well over 9 months but keep forgetting. Not game to use it as I've asked for specs and manufacturer twice now without success, so they can get stuffed until I see something.

I'm sure all other manufacturers/suppliers have to freely provide minimum standards.

Any other clues as to who makes it?

Ask Matt he knows all about it. And has used it. Maybe at the drags.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
