im as white as they come and when I read this I agreed. Its not because im racist but because for some reason australains on the whole dont seem to have that pshyco mentality. I dont know if this makes sense, but i went to boarding school and alot of the asian guys always wanted to sort things out with big fights, or fight for fun, where as it seems that australians dont seem to be so much like that. Probably something you could trace back to the differences in our cultures....

By "culture" it might be a socio-economic thing - ie, non-white people having less money and thus more likely to resort to stealing and being in gangs.

I wouldn't say that I am racist, but I will readily admit that if I see a group of young men walking down the street, generally speaking I will be much more wary if they are asian or arab or islander than if they are white. Of course there are definitely exceptions, like if they were a bunch of white bikies or even drunk hooligans on a weekend (a group of white drunk men tends to be pretty scary).

I was once almost mugged by a group of white australian youths in Tempe, but fear gives you legs :P Plus I think they were all clueless dorks and wouldn't have known what to do with me if they caught me so they didn't try very hard to catch up. But I am just speaking in general terms, which is perhaps why I said "ethnic minority" in the first place. I didn't mean to offend anyone. (knowing my luck I've probably offended people again anyway).

For the record, I have several asian and arab friends and part asian myself.

well i'm asian so i can spot the dodgy ones straight away ... but i know what u mean ... if i was in a situation where my car was getting jacked i think i'd be so angry i dont' care what happens ... like if i go psycho and the guy gets badly injured well i couldnt' care less ... he deserves every bit of it ... my gfs a lawyer so i guess that helps LOL .. but yeah break the guys arms and legs i say!!!

wrx rammed the gtr from behind at the traffic light. guy was turning right. Didn't get out rightaway but turned intersection to swap details there. That's when it all went wrong.

I hope they catch them cause big bubba is hungry for some more young and fresh ass.

Problem is, it makes you want to speed more if you see any sus cun7s behind you. After hearing these stories i reckon i'd get nervous seein anymore than 2 guys in a rex following me. Plus if you speed away and they keep up then you kno somethin might be goin on.

It's a car, hand over the keys. Not worth getting a screwdriver in the eye.

If you can't afford insurance buy a staffy for the back seat and don't feed it before you go driving. :uh-huh:

lol, or even crazier, shoe-horn a Great Dane into the back seat.

I bet neil and mel never get car-jacked :)

Carby cleaner works better than mace - so I have heard. .....

Maybe you all should carry two harmless devices like the above carby cleaner and a cigarette lighter???

I not actually sure how these two devices interact but I'm sure some of you guys can work something out :bahaha:

T.

I think it is a conspricy!

Theory is that the Club lock companies are not making enough $$ due to better alarms and they hire people to do these things.

This brings back the old habbit of having a club lock in the car for self defence.

Johnny H is definitly behind this...

i haven't read the whoel thread yet, justthe first page, but yeah my suggestion in a matter like this would be (if your car is insured, if not the WTF) give them your keys, call the cops and run to a TV and hey, you get to see your car in a car chase and u don't have to goto jail for it ;)

Guys it's just a feckin' car.

If anyone thinks it's worth risking life for then they really need to take a hard look at their priorities.

I've gotta say I really had a laugh when some moron started talking about the calibre of their handgun. This is a car-related forum after all. I think in general the people who frequent this forum are rational people and I hope that new people here don't expect that this sort of crap is the rule.

Seems everyone's a hero behind a bloody keyboard!

Cheers,

Ben

    • 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/
