Wat'd all of ya's think of the cruise? I would have liked some corners, but none the less it's good 2 give it a floggin in the straights now and then!

Nice job by willzi when we were leavin the Servo at Pt Wakefield too.

Enrico you're car sounds OFF TAP!!!!!

Who was the dude in the other 31? and whens the next cruise? I really enjoyed last night

Must admit I nearly fell asleep numerous times.... can we go somewhere with corners next time? Love that aqua planing feeling when you're doing 110!! Especially when there's a car doing the same thing 2 feet from your door.

Anyway, good to see everyone out despite the terrible weather.

Timmay! Thanks mate, i was waiting for u to say hi, but i wasnt sure if u wer who i thought u were. Are u really tall?

Man i was scared to go over 160, daim car was aquaplaning big time, like everyone else i assume. But still i had a good time, wish the weather was better, and it was a good turnout all things considered.

Look forward to the next cruise where we actually have a proper cruise route hehe...

NeverNaughty, who are u? Sorry i didnt PM u, its just to suss that u never posted on the boards yet wanted to know about the cruise.

hey guys, im new on these forums but i was wondering if these cruises are skylines only? and when or if the next one's going to be. i reckon provided its not wet the idea of a dawn cruise would be awesome... especially going a similar way to where you went the other night.

it was good to meet you all - next time we should do some intros!

I thought the run was good - sounds like most of us missed the 300 and supra tricks

did everyone get back ok

I saw a white 32 pulled over on the way back - no probs I hope :D

cos u r heavy then me. Plus 4wd perhaps?

I had a scare on the way back. I was behind the blue WRX and he went over a puddle, threw shitloads of water all over my window. I couldnt see shit and freaked for a few secs. Haha lucky it wasnt a turn.

There were some big puddles in the right hand lane and i dont think it was a good idea running so close together in that lane. I found it was ok to do 180 in either lane out by yourself even with the slightly slick rear tyres i was running.

The Supra and 300 boys continued their tricks at the drift spot near JMS on the way back.

Im now in need of a gearbox for my car after 1 to many launches

    • 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/
