Shes pretty stock Craig, its a company car after all. Has an STi computer, HKS exhaust, STi springs on the billys and an AVO interwarmer. Will have a custom dump/front pipe and a HKS filter in the factory box, they will arrive at my shop on Tuesday of course. SO yeah, its not that quick especially when compared to the Stagea.

Im coming down to meet up with a mate from Melbourne and attend his fiance's surprise 40th. The wife and kids are coming along. Should arrive in Alice on Monday arvo and then off the next day to the rock for 2 days and then back to Alice for another 2 days and then back to Darwin. Looking forward to it, might see some of you boys and gurls there!

Cheers

Yeah I had a look on the radar and its pretty wet around TC to Alice and beyond. Luckily this wagon doesnt scare me in the wet as it doesnt have a lot of power. I wouldnt mind seeing some rain though, havent seen any since Easter.

Have you been to the Rock before? In the rain it is even more amazing!

My car is so slippery in the rain it's scary, go round a corner at 20 and still slide.....fun though.

Should stay an extra 2 days and come to the drags! only $40 for as many runs as can get..

since the great timing of the rain ive come to the conclusion i need new tyres :)

went around miler road rondabout in third doing less than 20 ks and just slid, foot on clutch off the gas and still ended up facing the wrong way hoping cars would stop... exciting stuf hahahahaha. good fun though, went back and did it on purpose haha....

id hate to know how you line boys that actually have power feel :D

It is soooooo slippery!!

turned off larapinta onto lydavale doin maybe 15-20 and trying to be cautious, still ended up sliding. If I'm doing say 60 in 4th and accelerate slightly quickly it just spins. I need different tyres for the wet, lucky it doesn't rain much!

hell yeah, its pretty amazing how a corner we take everyday changes once its wet hey lol.

you need a front wheel drive in the wet i reckon, or a big fat sedan haha. stuff that.

its fun when you want it to happen but not when its by accident lol

Jimmy dude, enter! I'll enter again for shits and giggles. Be fun as. And wont have them super f*k off machines there either!

Ozzy? You in? Be good to nail some times in without worrying about qualifications or what? Cause this is mainly a screw around day. As i've heard?...

Definately! Hope to get both cars out. GT-R is getting some maintenance this week and the Datto is getting a B&M line lock fitted :wacko:

    • 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/
