details....um ok :D

how does this sound:

Date: Saturday 7th June

Time: 2pm

Place: National Library carpark

Itinery: Cruise around the Lake, go up Mt Ainslie for a photo opportunity, cruise back thru Civic to Belconnen, have a late lunch/coffee at Zefferelis near Belco Mall.

Whole cruise should only be a couple of hours, and ppl can leave the cafe whenever they want (if they need to take off early or whatever).

Sorry for the late notice, but everyone please come along and say hi to Kamikaze! If it's a nice day we should get some good photos up Mt Ainslie too.

see you there!

Shell :)

Well done with the photos Shell.

If i'd known you were doin sneaky ones out the back window i mighta put on some doorifto for the viewers.

I still managed to scare shit out of a taxi driver and his passenger!

We really need to find a good long fast drive next time, I had to go down to Jindabyne and back on Saturday night to blow the cobwebs out.

Enjoyed meeting you all and looking forward to the next one.

Hey Shell, great pix, good to see some of our youngest members in there too :D

If I manage to get a slightly older (and taller) passenger along next time, I'll try and get some video as well as pix to post up...

Hey Drifto, great to hang out with you guys...can't wait till the next time we get to have a bit of a go (beats the hell out of the day to day traffic runs :( )

We definately have to do another cruze down Kangaroo Valley or somewhere similar...

hi drifto...Damo took those ones out the back, we tried for some out the side window too but couldn't get a good shot ;)

maybe we should do a run to Jindabyne one time! that would be pretty cool actually. Not on a double demerit weekend though :(

James...she's such a cutie!!! ;) ;)

    • 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/
