One of our crews attended this scene. This is what happened:

The WRX rammed the GTR from behind, the GTR driver waited for someone to get out but thought it odd that no-one did for sometime. The GTR driver got out and LOCKED his car, then 4 armed guys with balaclavas got out, the GTR driver fled but the guys chased him, one of them got back in the WRX and run him down on the footpath, he was treated for minor injuries at the scene. The guys got the GTR keys in the end but couldnt start the GTR thank god cause of the GTR's alarm/immobiliser!!! The WRX WAS STOLEN, this was confirmed as the guy got the plates. Police on scene were saying its becoming very common, they are targetting there cars and following them for awhile first, get patterns and stuff. So think about it, I know im always watching the rear view mirror and never go the same way twice!!!!!!!

I work in the 'Gladesville area' and a dude that works in the wholesaler I go into everyday thought it was me! He knows i've got a GTR and he heard all about this on the radio, even went as far as ringing my boss to find out.

It's a bloody scary thing..

Jono

I heard it was on the corner of Epping Rd and Pittwater Rd, North Ryde.

I also heard on the radio that they had axes and baseball bats.

Talk about epidemic proportions - this sh!t is getting ridiculous.

Out of interest, what model GTR was it? I hope the dude makes a full recovery so he can identify the scum.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • 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).
