They are due to run out next week and have supplies arriving the week after. My dad works at the refinery....If worst comes to worst you can still use the premium unleaded (shell or bp), just don't run on high boost and don't thrash the car.....Simple.

Ok, got an update today. Shell & BP are running low on premium also. But they expect that the bit that failed will be fixed and up and running again by Wednesday. I don't think it was the compressor but it started with a C. Lol. Sorry I don't know much about machines and that kind of thing.

I asked how long it would take till we had ultimate back at the bowser and he said 1 or 2 days after they get it running. So if all goes to plan, we will have ultimate on or before the weekend. If all does not go to plan, then they have the supplies which are already on the way. So it shouldn't be too much longer *fingers crossed* all goes to plan...

BP defends delay in going public over fuel shortage

As reserves of premium unleaded fuel dry up in Western Australia, petrol

producer BP has defended its decision to delay telling motorists about

the problem.

BP supplies premium unleaded to more than 600 retailers state-wide but

has been unable to produce the fuel since a mechanical fault occurred at

its Kwinana refinery.

The breakdown occurred two weeks ago but BP only went public yesterday.

Company spokesman Peter Metcalfe says service stations are already

starting to run out.

"There's around about a dozen BP sites have run out completely and I

think in all honesty that situation is likely to grow," he said.

Mr Metcalfe has defended the time it took to alert the motoring public.

He says the company was not sure at first whether it had an issue and,

once the scale of the problem was realised, it tried unsuccessfully to

source additional supplies from overseas.

Motorists who can are being urged to switch to regular unleaded until

supplies are restored - hopefully - by late this month.

The Motor Trade Association says the fuel shortage shows there is a need

to set up fuel reserves in Western Australia.

The executive director of the association, Peter Fitzpatrick, says the

Government should stockpile fuel to help deal with any future shortages.

"We are very exposed with one refinery where you can have it break down

or get some contamination, and I think that the Government, and I've

asked them to do it, to look at it before, should have a strategic

reserve set aside for just this sort of contingency," he said.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
