been out fishing four times on various nights/various locations this week, holidays ftw!

we cleaned up a good amount of size and some absolute cracker size blueys off grange jetty late Thursday night / Friday morning. We did throw back a shitload of small ones however. picked up a few big sand crabs too.

Every time we pulled the nets up, never empty. More crabs than an 80s hooker's bush. After 1am we were the only ones on the Jetty, and that's when we bagged most, and the biggest.

it was dodge tide that morning apparently, so we didn't try for fish or squid.

crazy.... ever time I've gone fishing off an adelaide jetty I've caught bugger all except tommies and gar... a crab here and there but certainly not that many... largs pier is generally the one i go to...

looking forward to getting some snapper in a couple weeks time when i'm on the boat but would love some blueys and squid in the meantime.

anyone know if theres anything biting at rapid bay? campsite there is only $5 a night which means you can pitch a tent and sleep after drinking on the jetty so i've been considering it for a cheaparse getaway one weekend.. no point in going if nothings out there though

Gamers form a political party to try and get rid of the current Attorney General :(

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6246654.html?t...adlines;title;3

It's no secret that South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson is frequently challenged by gamers about his stance on the R18+ rating for video games in Australia. But far from the angry letters and e-mails the Attorney-General is used to receiving, a group of gamers have decided to tackle him in a new arena: the political sphere.

Atkinson is now being challenged on his home turf by a new political party dedicated to seeing R18+ introduced. Gamers4Croydon, a 650-strong party set up by campaigner David Doe in September last year, is planning to run its own candidate against Atkinson in the seat of Croydon in the upcoming South Australian election.

This is Michael Atkinson's reply:

"I assume the Gamers4Croydon campaign will involve criminal activities and dirty tricks, which is what I've come to expect from gamers,"

Apparently gamers are criminals and uses dirty tricks :)

Pity I'm not in the Croydon area! I'd vote for them.

Well seems Yellow Fever is setting in on my rear bar. To Cat or not to Cat, that is the question!

keep it, unless u forever want to be using ct18 to remove the exhaust pollution off ur rear bar :) believe me i know (one of the things imma get AM to do for me)

Barely drive the R with the new exhaust, and already there is a nice yellow tinge to go with all the carbon splatter :)

no cat...

thats one pussy you dont want.

If the car wasn't white, i wouldn't worry. But as Ben said, be damned if im going to be scrubbing the rear bar every week or two.

Me thinks i might hit AM up for a nice high flow and get him to refit the ecv while he's at it.

yer, mine being black i suppose i never noticed it..

yer, ppls with black cars always complain about how hard they are to keep clean but once u own a white car, even the smallest thing is visible, be it brake dust, exhaust dust, bird poo etc

looking forward to getting nistune installed on my ecu so i can get my 575 injectors tuned to the nth degree

-D

Never bothered me, because I tend to clean my car nearly every week anyways :)

I've had both and IMO black is way worse.

    • 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).
