Hey all

Just wondering if there are any people here from the gippsland area. I live near the latrobe valley area and was just wonderin if there are any small skyline clubs round here or wether there are any people that have skylines meets in this area. I seen quite a few skylines kicken round and just wondering if these people are on these forums.

Cheers

Might see you on the next cruise

Yeah i was thinking it would be good to have a small club or something in the gippsland area. If there is enough people round that want to meet up it would be good. I dont really know any other skyline owners round here.

My parents live in Yinnar so I drive around that area a fair bit in my R. The traffic cops are pretty bored in the valley, my record is 4 'random' breath tests in 48 hours. luckily they aren't too bright so provided your not too low and you don't have any shiny things in your engine bay you're generally ok.

Far out man...

My best was 4 times in 7 days.

But 48 hour takes the badge for SURE!

Rod - you need to harden up.

I cruise up to Raymond Island with my mates a couple times a year to stay at a holiday house we have there. But if there is an event going on up that way, may prompt us to arrange our next trip as we are both 'line owners.

thats all good i have few mates with nice cars.

you would get a bigger club going if you had other cars also my skyline is getting a new engine atm but iv been getting around in my mates pink supra lol

my grandparents live in sale so i head up there a few times a year and i know my way around there quite well. i always go for a walk around the lake there, im usually wrecked after it though lol. ill be heading back up there again soon in my new r34. watching those roulettes practice is always awsome to watch.

lol, all 5mins of it :D (joke for both Rod & Kat hehe)

ha got that right.

Its great... I park.. and I have 3 pubs at my disposal within a few metres...so its not a long crawl back to the car to pass out.

Gotta love country towns.

hey from sale agian.

im bout to unleash my 33 gtst out but cops can pull me off the road.

there is nothing shiny under the bonnett can i tell em its non turbo and do everything to make it sound like a non?

and do you think they will care cos my mate has a pink supra with 20s and stands out and he has never been pulled over?

should i drive it?

thanks alex

    • 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/
