Wasted Sunday night

Recovery Monday

Work today

Port Lincoln this Thursday.

Saturday night was the worst.

Started drinking at like 7pm.

Left town at roughly 6:15am... well, whenever the sun was coming up, as I was still out the front of Reds :D

But what a night. My mate got kicked out of 6 clubs ;) the only place that'd let him in on Hindley street was Strats.

So how was everyone's Easter? :D

On Wednesday my partner and I headed off to Port Lincoln, Stayed in Cowell overnight and had an awesome snitty and got pissed with locals and some friends from Whyalla who were there.

Got to Lincoln, ate lots of food, drank lots of beer and wine, Jetski, Tubes, Sharkwater and goodtimes till I got home Sunday.

On the Friday our friend got a flat tyre so we lent him ours, went out to the beach, can you believe WE then got a flat tire from a screw! So typical. All good tho, mate's dad owns the wreakers and hooked us up with one.

I hate to admit I very much enjoy driving the 6 speed V8, especially with the raor from the twin exhaust.

Nothing like a new 6.2ltr ute running around when GMH suppliers run out mufflers!

there might be when the 6.4ltr comes out next year and the 6.6ltr the year after. just make it 10ltr and be done with it already :P

No Dale its easy enough though to make gtr manifolds fit though would need to look in the maintainence thread

Cheers,

I'll have a look. At this stage the CA will be pensioned off unless i can't get what i'm after for it (which knowing cheap ass CA owners i won't) and i'll be going RB25 with a set of R34 GTR turb's and GTR intake, looking for around 280-300.

no 26/30 dale?

That's the next 180. Next year once a start working as an engineer i will start that project but it will be a ground up build for a bare shell. Once i start building the engine then this 180 will be sold with whatever engine it is running at the time. But nothing will be spared on that engine, including a dry sump setup, CNC ported head, full crank girdle (crank case to main cap to crank case) etc, etc.

With the CA i'm at the point where i need to rebuild it if i want to make any more power, i can do it for around 3k and it will make 260rwkw; or i can sell it fit a 25 and put the 3K into that and make near 300kw. But like i said if i don't get the right money for the CA i'll just rebuld that and be happy with 260.

My gf's business partner has just got a Calais V with the new cylinder de-activation and this thing sounds like V6 Alloytec, bit disappointing.

hahaha can you squeeze the CA into a FWD pintara :P you feel like rebuilding a 25 as well :D

    • 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/
