Hi all,

I was thinking that it would be nice to organise a bbq for the drift day. Not only for the members of this forum, but also SAU members from around Aust who are making the trek over here:)

And, everybody loves a barbie so any excuse will do.

Have met with some positive responses so far, T-man has kindly offered to provide all those interested with cheap (reckons it will cost about $1 per head - is that right tim?) snags etc which is awesome.

but a few things need to be sorted.

1) Does anybody have a bbq that could be used on the day?

2) Bread, we need bread. Anybody work at a bakery, otherwise I will just have to go out and buy some:) Oh, and some onions never goes astray.

3)ICY COLD BEER! cant have a bbq without beer! Most of the locals (us) will be able to provide their own esky and ice. But our visitors wont be so lucky perhaps? Plus, some may need to grab a beer because they forgot (of course we couldnt sell the stuff, but if someone was to 'give' me a couple of dollars, I could 'give' them a beer;))

So if anybody has a spare esky that would be great:) I spose I can provide some ice.

Another thing that I was hoping someone could let me know about, is there any undercover up there at the track? Cos I dont know what the weater will be like, and may need tarp etc to keep the rain off the bbq:D

IF ANYBODY can help with the above, please respond asap.

If there is anything anybody else thinks would be a good idea, please post up here. I would like to also get an idea of how many people would be interested, so T-man can make the appropriate arrangements.

All you interstate guys, please let post up if you are interested in bbq and beers, cos we need numbers! including any non SAU hangers on that you drag along for the day;)

Cheers all.

Steve

Ok, My dad does 4wding and I'll ask him if he could kindly lend us his little camper 2burner for the day. If not, we have one at work in the storeroom that i could take thats a little bit bigger and probably better for the job :)

The BBQ is taken care of.

I'll look into meat a bit further today, but I need to know what you's think you'll eat, and i need a bit more definate numbers on what to buy too.

Let me know!

Bread will be f*ck all, someone can run through bakers delight, I think loaf's are 80c each and we would probaly only need two loafs I reckon..

Tim

Thanks t-man:)

I reckon we could go with sausage sizzle, so sausages only. Unles someone esp wants something different?

loaves of bread only have about 20 odd slices, if eveyone has 2-3 sausages (I'll probably have 4 cos I want to keep my shit locker in shape).

I dont mind getting the bread, onions, tomato sauce, napkins, oil, barbie tools and a chopping board - but if anybody can get em cheap (or for free) cos they have connections it wouldnt hurt. (I'm a tight arse:D)

Just realised we probably need a table to set up shit on, well not actual feces, but stuff.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, T-man, still reckon only 2 loaves of bread will cover it:p

Hippy, I am sure I could use a hand, thanks mate - someones gotta turn the sausages when I gotta make room for more beers:D

Currently stands at 14 + attending and Pawley has room in his esky for a carton ? is that right? I am sure we could find some light refreshing ales to put in there

Also, T-man has suggested, and its a bloody awesome one, BBQ breaky (eggs, bacon, snags) about 9am, with a few beers to kick the day off!

Anybody else up for a barby breaky?

    • 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/
