I work for ETSA aswell from marleston there were a few rumours getting around still funny

ah k, which part of marleston? supply restoration, CBD or Substation branch? Got a few mates spread across those areas

I dont know... something RB26DETT, AWD, has a GTR badge on the rear and preferably between the years of 1989 to 1994 and in gunmetal grey, white or black.

Oh. I've heard about those types of cars. Apparently they can be fun. Did they come in black?

Anyone know a place to get a car properly cleaned that has been sitting in the elements for too long and needs some real TLC? I was looking at the place on Unley Rd and just checked out their website. Seems fairly pricey. Anyone used them and were they happy with the results?

randomly searching around tryin to find price for a tier 2 vehicle identity inspection, stumbled across the new VIS (Regency/Lonsdale) Vehicle Inspection fees..........defect clearance just got epically more expensive!

theres a place opposite charminars that does hand detailing for the $50 mark iirc, I prefer to clean it at dazzlers myself and then let either prestige or lex do a detail for me every few months

Now when it says Second Inspection does that mean for the same defect...or next time the car goes through.

think thats where u go and you've been given more things to look at / rectify......so second visit essentially. Dont think they've got a "frequent visitors" discount...........yet :)

$143 sounds rite to me, never had to go back a second time though.

lol Dale means more money for petty to go driving :)

True but the 180 doesn;t have an engine in it ATM and i dont have the street car that's running either. And i'm still getting knackered at the drop of a hat so i'm still to sick to fix either of them. but i am really saving money because there's no alcohol or petty to buy.

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.

-D

awwww.... but i wanna play with the cool kids. :(

looks like its going to be a raging success. :)

lol, but i dont lose oil pressure and spin a bearing...

hows the running in going?

well now that you've just jinxed yourself... =P

eh, painful, still another 400km to go and BW closed till some time next year so have at least 3 weeks more of it =(

    • 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/
