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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
