Just heard on the radio that theres something wrong with BPs ultimate refinary here in Perth and the supply of ultimate is going to dry up in the next couple of days until they get it fixed, my local is already empty had to go somewhere else.

Not sure if this affects anywhere else in the country but thought people might want to get a full tank while they can :(

Apparently the supply of BP ultimate and premium fuel in Perth won't resume until the end of the month. BP in my area already has no Ultimate or Premium left at all. Had to go to Caltex and get regular 95 octane Premium. BP is the only servo in my area with 98 octane.

If anyone in Perth finds a servo with 98 octane fuel left be sure to share the knowledge!!!

hey wat about the mobil stuff??? i 4 get wat its called but a mates off chops sr20 turbo pulsar wont run on anything but that

Synergy 8000, yeh thats pretty good.

I find Vortex 98 runs nice in mine if theres no Ultimate.

Unfortunately where I live only has 95 so running 98 isn't that common of an occurance :D Anything 98RON is better than 95 though

so the shortage won't effect the east coast then?

our BP on the e coast is really just Shell with BP additives right?

Only markets which receive petrol from the Quinnana BP refinery are affected. So basically a lot of Western Australia and not really anywhere else. If your on the East Coast your fine.

I filled up this arvo at BP Myaree on Leach Highway, so they've still got petrol for now.

Cheers for the heads up! That's a bit far from me, so I got premium 95 octane from Caltex and added octane booster. One tank on 95 probably wouldn't hurt, but I'm obsessive :huh:

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
