Yep thats our new Super Wagon. It arrived on Monday ;) The wife is turning into a hoon already though but geez it's a nice car. 99% sure that will be the recce car for April - the Audi RS4 we are bringing to TWP next week. I'd have brought the R36 next week but the wife won't let me even drive it down the shops yet let alone let me take it for a week! lol But the wife and kids will probably come in April so I'll be allowed to bring it as I'll be under supervision!

it's alive!!! the bodyworks painted the lip, i think it looks better with the black lip

i think dad is thinking of twp, even though there are no spots left?!

The novelty of seeing an RS4 in tas is enough, and you pricks are doing recce in one!!! Don't need any help/crew do you?

Should be good for doin all the handbrake turns required when wanting to run over a piece of road again in recce :cheers:

Well that last seal kit in existence will allow us to have the best handbrake ever, although im definately not buying new tyres b4 hand!

Hmm yeh the black looked better, White Knight flat black... you know you want to!

PS nice to see you washed the charf off!

well it is with huge relief i give my latest update..... i have somehow managed to fit back into the race suit :P

that and i think we are on the wednesday night boat, so may catch up with some of you blokes for a quiet shandy on the crossing.

wash the charf off! it's sill got clay all down the side of it. It'll get a good clean soon.

Excelent. Should be a fun convoy down to Hobart Thursday morning then too. Roll ons anyone?? :cheers:

I'd be interested to see how Ze R34 compares to an R35 straight line actually. I know 1st hand that Jeff's R34 is slower than his R35 so it would be interesting to see if my special body kit helps fix that. :cheers:

Change of plans sadly & no convoy- looks like we are booked for the Tuesday night boat.

Will see everyone at scruitineering or Friday evening at the briefing no doubt, if not before.

I'll be the one in the pink car ;)

well there were super high winds here today. lots of power outages in launceston and hobart.

just put the power fc pro in the gtr. still running the engine in, so can't give the launch control a proper crack.

My mate Blaise over in W.A. just bought himself a new car yesterday for the purposes of making a Tarmac Rally Car. It needs a bit of work (obviously!) but for $10K it looks like a good buy. It probably won't see any events in 09 but it should be right to play in 2010.

gotta say, the 22 idea would have been heaps cooler!

...and only tossers own evos!

One week out and I'm getting excited! :) The race wheels are now on - just the stickers to go and the car is done. It's a shame we have to put any on actually as the car looks pretty sweet as it is right now although the ones we do have coming are pretty amuzing.

And Stu - Blaise has another idea which I'll talk to you about next week (looking forwards to meeting you in person and really hope we can have a beer at some stage).

ah cool, gotta atleast try and be different.

car looks awesome, the black rims really do finish the package

all up for beers, drop me a text on the 0412 number (its the easiest way to get me during event)

    • 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/
