Well, so much for the silvias showing up.. again.

Still a nice little turn out, we had 2 R32 GTRs 4 GTS-Ts a R34 GTT and 350GT :) I think that was everyone

Sorry I couldn't go all the way to Wisemans but no way would I have made the return trip on that much fuel, hope you had a great time and I'd love to do it again some time soon, great to meet all of you.

Oh and the guys who took photos, post them up :P

And to that tool in his fully sick mazda astina:

1. Who turbos an astina? Come to think of it, he was pretty fat, maybe he needs it for the car to move...

2. Well done on redlining off every set of lights on the Pacific Highway then slamming your brakes on because there's a line of traffic in front of you, you're my hero.

Yeh same with me not enough fuel to do the whole trip, yeh should be some cool photos!

Nice to meet a few of you guys & catch up with the rest of you.

Oh Ummmm some of the local law enforces seem to time their apperances perfectly on old pac... :)

BTW steve did u happen to see that R34 GTR Nur on pacific Hwy headn the other way? Pretty sure it was your mate, seen the pics of it from the truckstop the other week thursday night?

I was hauling ass to get there on time and then I just gave up... Traffic was shithouse gettin there and I was already late.

Oh well sorry I didnt make it .. perhaps I should get numbers next time we meet up.

Oh and Albert, what happened to the east bear kit? no go?

You should probably blank the rego plates by the way Albert

yeah yeah lol

Oh and Albert, what happened to the east bear kit? no go?

nuh,

never went for the kit, abit out my price range lol...

top secret GTT was the go and factory nismo skirts.. im planning it simple :laugh:

Thanks Billy. Nice turn out guys!

Everyone behaved themselves and police didn't have to bother with us.

I didn't know the astina was turboed!! It went slower than a hyundai running on 2 cylinders.

    • 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/
