LOL, thanks Jason... now i just need to get me some external gate action and 300+ rwkw and i might be able to keep up with you! That thing sound tuff when boostin hard, could hear you plant it when you were 50 metres behind me :happy:

haha yeah...just about need earplugs :laugh: I had a bit of a boost problem and didn't even realise until the last stretch. It wasn't even giving me 1bar. Had a max of .98 even when we were running together flat to the floor in 4th :P running a bit lower than it should be. Might be time to book it in for a retune.

That was a great weekend guys. It was good to meet so many great people and see so many wicked cars. Congrats and thank you to all involved for a tops event.

I'll put some pix up tomorrow, I'm so not motivated now.

Cheers

haha that r33 GTR was scary :laugh:

You left a big gap behind me and then rushed up very quickly behind me on the GOR :P

A nice sight in the rear view mirror no doubt :P

I was lovin' the tight twisty stuff, it seems as if that what GT-R's are built for..... those Evo's are a pretty handy piece of gear too....

When the traffic got a bit too much i just backed well off, made my own space, then rejoined the group. Was great fun :happy:

Thanks to everyone who organised this one, had an awesome time and looking forward to seeing you all again. I'll try and make it to the meetings from now on, lets see some of the video footage at the next meeting eh!

Looks like everyone out there had a ball and by all reports another successful GOR cruise for 2007.

Thanks to Paul, Mav and Al for heading up the event. I unfortuantely had prior engagements but would have loved to come on the cruise because as Ash said, this is the biggest, longest and best cruise which SAU-Vic run every year!

If you missed out and haven't been on one yet, I think everyone who has been on one will agree with me when I say it's something that you HAVE to do at some time.

its ace when the local see nearly 30 skylines pull into town

very cool and exciting, the locals come out to check them out.

each car has its own unique sound. there was some confused people at apolo bay when we started parking on the pier. well worth it though

    • 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/
