It was a great fun! and pleasure to met all the old and new friends:) I managed to catch up with KEW11 (he's so kind, haha) like always, the cruise was packed with great views on the stops, Love it!

Big thx to Sam for organizing the amazing cruise! and thx hrd-hr30 for the great roads(except for the grids, hehe) I heard that you were driving madly in front, wish I can see that.....

:( you must be getting me confused with the other white GTR :)

but some of those tighter twisty sections can be enjoyable well within the speed limit (and the car/driver limits of course)

if you do want to see me driving madly, come along to the next hillclimb at MtCotton on Sunday 7th of May... I'll do a run or two on those street tyres just for laughs!

and there's a come and try day on the 21st if you decide you want to have a drive there yourself. Not a competition, just driving around the track as fast or slow as you are comfortable. Its a way for newbies to have a try at hillclimbing, or just for people who want to see what the track looks like from the drivers seat.

Hrd Hr30. Hahahhaa it wasnt me... it was YOU!!!! I like the way you took some of those corners.... I tried to keep up but your too good mate.

I remember one bend it was a right hand bend with the apex of the corner at the base of a hill so you had to climb up... I was going was too fast and i remember the G force my brain experienced.

They were some pretty good mountain roads. Gotta do it again!!

RYN26, its free to get into the hillclimb to watch. the practice days are fairly cheap too. I

frankxy - I've got more good roads ready and waiting for another cruise whenever everyone is ready!

arbess - yeah some of those heavily on-cambered 2nd gear corners through Kenillworth State Forest (just after that road with all the cattle grids) were very nice. They just don't make corners like that anymore! and all within the speed limit too!

yeah, awesome cruise, loved that uphill one way section, if only i knew those roads... well done to the organisers!!!

i'd love to tag along to that "come a try" hillclimb day.

thanks again, well worth the $7

me too :(

I don't think anyone fall behind thanks to RYN26 and Brad keeping us in pace with the rest of the group LOL

Thanks for the cruise guys. It was fun and a good introduction to QLD roads for me. You guys have awewome highway and interesting hillclimb road compare to SA.

I will be keen to come to Mt Cotton on the 21. If I am not ready to compete I will be keen to spectate. Hopefully catch up with you guys again.

Cheers

me too :w00t:

the 2nd Round of the Hillclimb Series on the 7th of May is the one see if you want to watch. The "Come and Try" day on the 21st is for those who want to try it out for themselves without the pressure of competition. Come and check the place out on the 7th and decide if you want to have a drive there yourself on the 21st.

Hey guys just curious, we made one stop where videos were taken of the GTRs leaving one by one...anyone has the video?

As well as all other videos taken of the cruise will be good too!

Cheers!

    • 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/
