Yes...... I have some at my dads place!.... but I can see more troubles blocking areas with cones and drawing more attention.

I thought if we were all parked in line with hats in front/side it may look more official and less "ready to race" or "trouble", but happy not to.

I think the bottom line is:

Everyone that turns up tonight has an obligation to drive in a safe, responsible way when in the group.

Obey all road rules, indicate, dont speed and basically drive to the conditions.

When we are parked in a group - take into account that there are allot of cars in the group, which means that we will be taking up allot of room, so check around you before you stop and get out, as you might be in the line of traffic (which needless to say is pretty dangerous).

When travelling out to the museum tonight - BEHAVE YOURSELF because if you attract negative attention on the way to this event and the police turn up before we even leave with the intention to book us all we wont have a very good night.

Im not trying to preach and Im not saying that Im an angel on the road, I know that some of us get a bit carried away sometimes at these things so Im just speaking for everyone when I say that to have a great night and for us to all return home safely we need a few guidelines and some common sense.

Ive been to several events since being a member of this forum and only maybe 10 - 15% have ended badly, but the reason for it ending badly was always because of one or two people doing something stupid.

PS I will be the first person taking number plates of idiots, expect police on your door step if play up. Lets not ruin it for others.

PPS Lets have a good night and lots of fun.

So, enough preaching lets get to business, we may have to do 2 sessions depending on time and availability of the locations, if so, we will find out tonight when people are available for a second one preferably on a saturday or sunday for less traffic for things like the tunnel shots etc...

See you there tonight.

...take into account that there are allot of cars in the group...

I'm sorry to do this, but it's a pet hate of mine.

It's 'a lot', two words....

Sorry.

Perhaps my undercover Volvo should go in the lead, the cops never suspect the 'volvo' :wave:

Bullet really forgot to put the full stop on the end, he meant to type allot. short for allotment, but with old age, he didn't see the dot missing *nod nod*

*duck*

Will probably be there a bit early, I'll be the 15 year old eating a chicken in his white R33 haha

Wicked, Scot and I will be in the 4Runner, should be there bout 8. Just about to leave work now and go home collect all the gear

my shoulder is so sore.. I just polished it.. rushed it.. sore.

it?

what about the car? did you polish that too?

if it's sore you should slow down and use some lube man.... lol

j/k

See ya'll in an hour or so ;)

was good fun, cant wait to see the pictures. Shame i was so damed tired and made a fool out of myself

"How do i get it up" and Ladybytes husband (mark?) telling me to turn my wheel left 3 times and i ended up turning it right...

Still, was good to put some faces to names

was a wicked night everybody.

Thankyou all for your patience with everything. I'll get to sorting out the photos tomorrow. Hope everybody enjoyed it.

We'll have to organise another night to do the motion shots threw the parksway tunnel.

Thanks again.

    • 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/
