glad im not the only one thinkin that andrew. only reason ive got christmas day off is because its 1 of 2 days in the year were closed. but i start at midnight for boxing day.

and the only reason ive got nye/nyd off (for the first time in 4 years) is because i got galacticly lucky and my name didnt come up until the rosters were done.

awww :D aren't we all hard done by

i have a sponsor child from Honduras just a little thought before WE all complain

The minimum wage is USD150 a month (probably obsolete datum). The people of Honduras are among the poorest in Latin America; Gross national income per capita (2007) is $US 1,649 >>Source<<

still feel hard done by or lucky enough to earn 30+k a year as opposed to $1600 US/year

Going on an impromptu cruise for GTR's only.

PM me before 11am if you want to come. Meeting in a specific location at midday and then cruising the hills for 2-3 hours.

Numbers are limited, and entry is restricted to GTR's. Sorry, but thems the breaks. After 11am tomorrow I'll be driving and wont have time to talk to people, so if u got stuff all else to do tomorrow, have a gtr, and have the petrol, msg me.

No exceptions.

Bugger! Sounds like an excellent idea Ben, but got the GTR booked in for work on monday :D

All those people complaining about not getting time off over the festive season; i've been working in hospitality for 9 years and have never had a new years off and rarely get x-mas off. Finally get one off this year and because i've just got over Glandular fever i can't drink for 2 months. So no drinking for x-mas, new years or big day out (first time i'm going). I've also worked every birthday since i was 23.

Now where are those violins.

Motorbikes FTW!!!

Me and my mates got pulled over last night by the boys in blue. One cop starts looking over my bike, commenting how he wants to get his bike licence and all. Has a look over it, comments there is no rego label displayed. I tell him honestly I got the bike regoed a month ago, but I've been slack getting a label case to attach to the bike, but the label is under the seat. He has a bit more of a look and lets me go :)

I seriously thought I was going to get done for: no chain guard, rear tyre down to wear indicators, excessive noise (no baffles fitted), and probably whatever else they wanted to go to town on.

Well time to get off my ass and get those baffles in, rego label case, and new hoops! :D

just wondering if you were or you know the linee from st marys that got caught riding in the bucket back to the depot when his hard hat fell off and hit the cop car traveling behind the truck. I laughed when i heard that one

haha yeah, sure do.... and it wasnt riding back to the depot. they were doing SLOs (street light outs) on standby, and he was riding in the bucket down port road............they were doing 50kph (when ur only meant to do 5kph with someone in the bucket). We laughed when the report came out and there was a PHOTO of him a few seconds before his helmet came off LOL

    • 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/
