It's funny - there seems to be a changing of the guard with Munro and Cheeky married/pregnant, Mel and Pawley just had a baby *congratulations*, Joel with recent addition, Whatsisname busy doing other things, Grepin overseas, Buggalugs m.i.a, myself inbetween cars .... seems most of the old gang have disappeared. Of course some of the original group like Maxx, GFXMan, 9krpm, etc are still quite active. Ah well, I suppose it's the change of times. :D

Yes mate things have changed quite a bit over the last few years.

Bugalugs (Matt) sold his 33 almost 3 years ago - haven't seen him since I 'moved on'.

Congrats to Erica and John with their first bub! And Mel and Pawley too!

As for me, I've done more modifying on my 33 over the last 6-12mths than I EVER have :D Add to that the amount of house renos and other commitments and I just don't seem to have enough time in my day :( Lack of legitimate forum access during work hours sucks too.

I've got a few more weeks of mods to go and then the car will be ready to hit the road again - so I 'might' be able to make the cruise. My 33 has covered more kays on the back of tilt bed trucks than under it's own power in recent months - mod related not breakages.

wow u like top 100 ppls in aus on the website :( /patts u on the back :D

least being on the back of a truck it keeps the Km's low.. hope u can make it for feb cruise

Haha thanks Madaz :D Yeah I'm one of the old buggers. I've been around the Skyline scene for a while (about '95). I was one of the original members of the Skylinesdownunder forums... well before SAU existed.

Yeah true. I hope so!

i been thinking and le cornu's normally gets a bit busy on a sunday we might have to meet on the north enterance side street

Don't talk about meet locations in the thread, I suggest the location be changed now for that reason alone.

hmmmmmmmmm........ :P

i thought thats why we send plans in pm form! just by reading this thread

anyone is pretty much up to speed with us, and thats not the sort of

attention that we want!

Therefore i will change the meet point mentioned and send pm's a bit closer

to cruise day to avoid any furthur leaks! :P

Thanks guys!

Well so much for my 'Welcome the R34' cruise to Victor with paintball or go-karting, that I was going to plan for February - might have to make it March.

Hey i'm still around Andrew, just not as much since I changed car camps :D

I should be at the cruise so put me down

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
