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:

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
