No Paul they didn't do it this year mate. Last year it was too easy to "clean" the stage, and it was too hard to find a way to slow the stage down. Shame, I loved it last year, very fast :dry:

Reverted back to the old Mt Black and Roseberry, and added in Rinadeena, which is Strahan in reverse! :D

Now, whats this about you driving the event, how did we miss you?

I wish - nah I meant in 2008. Timing was all wrong for this year but next is going to be a ripper.

Yeah shame - we had a ball that day, even though we had a small off. Steve managed to wrestle the fish tailing car down from about 180km/h, around a 9 corner, to gently dropping the front wheels into a ditch.

wow. I thought it was a typo and was meant to have a -R in there! yeah the sunnny GTI is AWD non-turbo. pretty average piece of gear. they must have been pushing it pretty hard to get that far up the order. well done. :sick:

Yeh he has been multiple National and State F2 Rally champ in years gone by.

Did they do Reeces dam again this year? Was there similar carnage on that last stage as there was in 2008?

Nahh went back to Mt Black and Rosebery, I reckon there would have been major carnage this year had they been run was wet as over the west coast.

Gee I was getting all confused there Paul! :sick:

Well, with luck, we'll see you back there next year too, gotta start searching out all that spare change that I know is hiding around here somewhere..... :(

wrong on both counts haha Lee's GTI is front wheel drive, as are they all I believe. Its also certainly not an average bit of gear. It is an absolute animal and Lee is a driver of top top quality. Had a few problems I think on day 1 and dropped a lot of time. Can't wait to hopefully see it in the forests this year as it is a sight for the eyes and especially the ears.

the gayness that comes from your typing hurts baby jebus

homo!

I RECON I SHOULD ENTER ROOKIE AND TEACH YOU ALL HOW TO WRAP A CAR AROUND A TREE!!

alright who let Pete into this thread :D

reckon you should do it Pete (the rookie bit, not the wrap the car round the tree bit)

though you would need to find some SERIOUSLY insane to navigate for you.

jenna has indicated that she wants in( lol)

if i can find a gtsT with a rol cage ill be there next year

other oprtion is to put a cage in jennas car :)

Well you're in luk my good man, just so happens I have a caged 32 right here for you..... PM me for details and price :D

Hooo-hhooooo-harrrr! lolz

do you think rod will ever live that crash down? esp with the responce it got on the party tape

maybe Thumper will.

on a side note, I only found out on the weekend that our car had had the front springs upped to 500 lb/in from 330, hence the front of the car contantly leaving the road....not happy

    • 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/
