cheers guys. Went to the coopers ale house for a snitty and man, im buggered and didnt finish it.

btw anyone here play oz Lotto? neighbours gave me a ticket and ive got 4 numbers and no supps. Do i win much?

cheers Luke

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

was it tastey though?

so, ive had a shitty hour. decided that today being payday id cruise on down to local shell to pull some money out of the atm, and then head to the bp to fill the 200 with ultimate,

left the shell servo no worries, popped it into second and put my foot back on the gas, engine revved a little strangely, almost too quickly, without the car gaining any speed, bit odd i thought, but no matter, into 3rd and it does the same thing, and i start to smell clutch, f**k. so instead of heading to the servo i just started driving home with the slip getting worse and worse and worse, only just got the damn thing home, f**k.

FINALLY got the oil cooler, filter relocation kit that i ordered on ebay...

WORST ebay seller that i have come accross. had ZERO communication from this guy, not even a please pay me, or an invoice for my payment being recieved from him.

i emailed him throu ebay 4 times, with no response.... and the kit turned up on my doorstep last night.

i was so frustrated that i had tracked down all his details (through various menas that i have) and was about to book a flight to go "visit" him in QLD and have a "frank discussion", when it turned up... now i know that the flight/accomodation would have cost more than the cooler. Its the principal of the thing really.

BUT... now i have an oil cooler :P :P :( just gonna wait for my next oil change, n in she goes

well i just went for a drive in the skyline and got pulled over TWICE!!!! the second time wasnt so lucky got fined for no p plates, do i lose demerit points for that? !!! lucky no defect though.

Everyone I know of who didn't display P plates had their licence suspended for 3 months or so, but that was years ago. It is 'probation' afterall. Think you'll be getting a notice in the mail. Maybe they're more lenient now. Can anyone else clarify?

Yes - 3 demerit points. Although, I've seen talk in the news about reducing it to 2 demerit points...

But it's still 3 demerit points. Which means, if you're on your P's... that's all the points you can have! Even getting another 1 demerit point will be license loss :P

Edit: Ruby, no license suspension anymore. Just demerit points. Has happened to a countless number of my mates. One even got done for a faded P plate, which the cop just put down as "No P Plates"

ah not good dave what it slips 1st gear no boost? noremally you notice 4th and 3rd slipping first under load and boost

yeah, slips it all gears, off the clutch in first to get moving, engine revs to about 5k rpm and inches forwards, driving around in any other gear it struggles to move.

yeah, me thinks so, lookin at an exedy at the moment, should do the trick.

gonna wander down to the car yard i got the thing from to see if they'll cover the box which recently started acting up, might try and throw the clutch in too.

    • 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/
