Yeah, heard the same thing as well, and likewise, not game to try it.

Saw a Supra filling up there one day, so i dunno.... anyone want to volunteer their car for our experiment?

A mechanic friend of mine told me a couple of years ago that his workshop had been doing a roaring trade in fuel injection servicing ever since Gull opened at Hume.

He reckoned that the fuel distributors used to drain off the bottom section of their bulk tanks and re-refine the fuel cos it was so full of sediment and crap, until Gull and a few others came along and offered to buy it at greatly discounted rates (complete with the nasty bits). That's how they could undercut everybody else.

Apparently Woolies were originally doing the same, but have since started sourcing their fuel through Caltex.

Then there's the whole ethanol story.....

BP Ultimate for me baby!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.

      If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
