Sound spot on in all respects...nothing like a nice view while your eating :laugh:

Sad thing is I'm way way over the s.e, I don't get over that side too often... but next time I'm out that way I'll definately check it out.

Cheers

lets not forget the utes are called trucks now too hehe

Truck, mini truck and pickup truck, seems they can't make up their minds ..anyone called my ute any of those I reckon I might kick em in the nuts.

real aussies don't drive SUV's they drive Forbee's :domokun: Middle aged mums with horrible driving skills drive SUV's.

lol good luck trying to say "I gotta put gas in my Skyline" with a straight face in Melbourne... we still use natural gas, and that's not what you'd put in a performance car.

fender's one of those interchangeable ones... as I've heard it used in the colonies too.

get this though... in the UK they call widebody guards "wide arch kits". lol.

unless you have a straight gas r33 with 300kw :domokun: that would be tough and the EPA and TMU will be cursing! freaking cops... cops of men!

americans are stupid full stop.. seriously.. SUV.. they arnt even SPORTY!! get urself a hilux.. put a 2jzgte with a t78 on the bastard and thats sport!!

One of my best mates is a mechanic and at his workshop one day Nova came down and was doing a big promotion for gas conversions for cars.

They actually had a Skyline come into their garage who has done a complete gas conversion (cant even run off petrol anymore, solely gas), and they actually produced more power with no other modifications. Supposedly if you do a full conversion properly (changing injectors, etc) to only run gas, your car will put out more power, and of course be cheaper to run in the end.

Food for thought :)

yeah LPG has a higher octane rating than petrol... if i had the cash i would run a straight gas r33.. and cops cant touch ya.. DUNN DUN DUN DUN CANT TOUCH YA... STOP HAMMERTIME

Cracks me up. HAMMERTIME!

watch a few eps of top gear and you'll see not all those terms arent as american as you think

Clarksons a nub...always has been. I spent a fair bit of time in the uk car scene and being of welsh/english origins It saddens me to see Englishmen adopting Americanisms just as much as we do here. He's an amusing presenter but when it comes to vehicle knowledge and practical application of it he's a tit head who doesnt know his arse from his elbow. The same goes for May and Hammond to differring degrees.

Hey I am as guilty as the next guy as i don't proof read my posts and my typing is terrible. But what does bother me is the rather ordinary spelling on forums. Add to that all the terms and bitchery of the English language because we are too lazy to type an extra letter of three.

Wtf sure you dont mean fairings?

Fairing is the body work that protects the rider from the wind (round engine, up side, over instruments etc), Guards are th bits over the wheels.

I use wing mirrors, that's what I always called them, I suppose because I always called the fenders/guards 'wings', and that's where the mirrors started out before more modern cars moved them to the door. (probably just a UK thing)

    • 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/
