Here a tip. My Fiance says if you buy a $100 coles gift card it is all profit as they don't have to pay for product to sell, so Fire appeal gets $100 you get $100 gift card you can use to pay for your shopping instead of cash, then fire appeal gets another hit up of profit cash from your shopping!

Makes sense but not sure if gift cards are classed in this thing or not.

Lol, neither do I, but it would be cool if it were true.

our work donated 100k and we have a fundraiser today as well and our HR dept has arranged for special payments to be arranged from peoples wages (whatever people authorise to be taken out (1 hours worth of wage a day or at whatever people specify) pretax to be donated.

We'll go to the coles one this Friday, then to the safeway one on the 20th plus donate about 100 cash.

every bit helps

spent $150 on friday night at caroline springs coles

also took me the missus and 3 friends to bunnings and made them all eat sausage sizzle from there as weel because the cash all goes to the bush fire thing . . . . . and any excuse to go to bunnings lol

We hit the local Coles, queues were big but am sure it was worth it. Will be great to get a final figure as so many other people were there for the same thing. I also set a deductions scheme out of staff pays at work too, either once off or payment reducing over 4 weeks. All for a very worthy cause.

I worked 9 hours at Coles on Friday and it was absolutely hectic. Worse than Christmas or Easter. Basically all the staff were at the service area all day, regardless of what department you were in. People went nuts too, bought like 5 years supply of tooth paste, etc. Saw several ~$1000 orders go through my register alone. I work at one of the bigger Coles stores, with 13 registers, and every single one (excluding the 3 express) had at least 10 trolleys lined up.

I will say this though, despite the monster lines that filled the fresh produce area, blocked the deli off and forced people to wait nearly half an hour to reach the register; no one complained. Everyone was in good spirits, polite, friendly and patient.

    • 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/
