The petrol price is just a killer.

Guys, any idea why I bring my dewsons receipt into BP, but they say they are not participating?? Can't save 4cents.....

Aniways, for those who do not know, BP is having a promotion "Win free fuel for a year" BP FREE FUEL ENTRY..hurry up, ends sept 20. :unsure:

On my way home from tafe today somewhere in Sth Perth I seen unleaded for $1.28 (ultimate plus 9c $1.37), and then near my house at 2 BP's both were $1.38 ($1.47)!!! How the f**k can BP justify the difference in price?????????

Its 52 $50 fuel vouchers....

$50 wouldnt even fill the tank with ultimate

well yeah not any more anyway.

i thought my fuel economy was getting worse cos i was calculating by the dollar (ie $50 of fuel gets me how many kms)... and i thought wtf, it's getting worse... stupid me got it wrong, it's cos i'm getting less fuel for my buck that's why it's getting worse...

rezz what's japan's prices? last time i went back (dec-04 to feb-05) it was... 129yen per litre? they have great service over there too... :)

Still cheaper than UK and Europe.. I was paying over a quid a liter ($2.39739 /L AUD) for diesel over there - and that was cheaper than petrol.

Anyone think about the wicked GST bonus the govt is getting from these price increases? When fuel was $1.20/L they would have been getting about 12c/L. Now it's $1.50/L they'll be getting 15c/L.

Doesn't sound like much but think that they haven't had to put any effort into this tax increase. Then think why they aren't going to do much about the price increase. Also think that you're actually paying GST on state govt levies.

Now get angry....

I also filled up for that magical 147c/L yesterday, atleast i can say that i set a personal record for money spent on a tank of fuel. Good thing the 31 is fantastic on fuel and i've had a work vehicle for the last 2 weeks or so, i've had a decent run i suppose.

I can only see the price going up from here but :)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
