It was the most amazing thing, I had to play football this evening and we got to the field at 4pm to watch the game before ours and it was pissing down!! We went into the change rooms and when we came out it had stopped raining and didn't rain again for our entire game!! Gridiron is hard enough without it being wet and slippery!! We won!!!

Mel why ya car in the shop?

getting resprayed and having a gouged light replaced and the badge straightened

... this is all stuff the panel shop did to my precious car last time around, hopefully they get it right this time

i STILL have to take my car, after this, to another panel beater so they will reinstall my FACTORY OPTION fog lights, as current panel beater refuses to do it because they are "aftermarket" which is BS, they just dont have a f**king clue where to start =P

B&M Body Works at Bulimba on Lytton Rd. = BAD NEWS OK

CHUKD SOME FAT SKIDZ IN THE CAR LAST NITE WAS AWSOME HAHA LOL

being that it's against the law, yes

Not trying to sound stupid man. But you started this topic saying "yay rain, shame my car is in the shop" which I personally would have thought to be implying you would have liked your car so you could drive it on the wet roads. Which once again personal oppinion on this, I would like to keep my car off the roads when its wet... Yet you seem to now agree skids are bad...

I find that odd.

hahahaha, I agree totally Mark, cept i dont find that having a certain burgundy r33 always gets the cops attention before they do me :(:D:D

but yeah, if u cant tolerate the other, more common style of driving that most skyline drivers do, maybe its time to change cars.. hell who doesnt enjoy driving in the wet, cleans ya car :)

Mel, i hope they fix your car correctly the second time, and good luck with getting te fog lights back

personally i think driving at irrisponsible speeds in traffic along our roads is alot more dangerous and deserves the full weight of the law as opposed to an innocent burnout at 11pm in a deserted industrial district.. but the law is the law and that's the way the cookie crumbles

yeah, but if driving at high speed ona highway. with no one infront of you , and a wrx trying to race you who turns out to be a cop.. i think speeding is safer,

driving fast in a straight line is easy... taking a corner sideways in the dark is not :(

anyway we should really get back on topic

YAY i love the rain :)

    • 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/
