Hi all.. Was running low on juice so went to BP to get my weekly hit.

And all the ones I went to along Paramatta Road were all out of stock. :)

Apparently there is no more/they are running out.

I spoke to servo dude (who is always helpfull, the one i sometimes goto), he said its about a 3week wait for more BP Ultimate :) He also said there is a shortage on 98 Octane petrol. WTF?

Dammit... Sux0rs...

Have to go fill up shell optimax.

You can get BP to sms you when they have stock.

Yes and apparently in WA they had a sortage too, how just only recently this week they said they have some stock now.

Wonder where it came from ?

Oh and this outage of Ultimate is for NSW & VIC, I reckon ACT too.

Lets all go for a cruise to WA to get some drums of Ultimate!

Optimax is shittymax. hehe

Doodz.. it's been like this for about the past 3 weeks.. emailed them the other day.. and called them..

they said restock is not until mid-late december..

guy on the phone said they were shipping it over from amsterdam..

not sure if that's true. - but yeah.. everywhere is out.. from hornsby to north sydney, to parra.. not sure about the south.. northern beaches too.. atleast that's where I tend to buy..

been filling up on shell optimax, finding I get better economy.. but bit down on power..

I know optimax and ultimate = 98 ron, but is it caltex or mobil that uses 95 RON high octane?

I know one of the servo brands don't have 98...

All the majors have 98RON brews now...

Shell Optimax

BP Ultimate Gold

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

BP Ultimate has been unavailable for about 3 weeks now, as Links said. I've heardand read a few different reasons: there were problems at the refinery; there was a minor accident at the refinery; they are creating a new mixture and have in the mean time run out of the old stuff we all use now; they're not willing to sell it because petrol prices have dropped about 10-15cents - due to lower oil prices - in the past few weeks and they want to keep their profits high (they're absolute bastards if this is the real reason)...

Who knows? My Stagea is being run on anything at the moment, as long as it is a 98RON fuel. Currently has a tank of the 98 Caltex Vortex, which so far is nothing special.

There's no ultimate on the central coast either.

All the majors have 98RON brews now...

Shell Optimax

BP Ultimate Gold

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

Yes all majors have 98RON premium, 95RON normal premium and 91RON ULP. Mobil's normal one is Synergy 6000, which is 96RON. Their ULP is 92RON, it seems they like to add an extra RON just to be different. :)

As if it bloody doesn't :(

What's so special about BP ultimate anyway?

I just use what ever premium im closest to, whether it be vortex, optimax, synergy 8000 or what ever

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?
