Really? I've never heard a bad thing about Jim Berry or his clutches. Can you give me some examples? PM if necessary.

na cant be bothered trolling through many threads about clutches, from memory possibly people either not driving it correctly and chewing out flywheels or starting with too thin a fly, or wimps not liking a slightly heavier pedal from standard

Thanks to your R32 I cant bare to turn the key in mine anymore :laugh: hahaha

anyway, did nightshift last night, got bored:

also, spotted this on Wilkinson Road Gawler River on my way home:

caption 'now let that be a lesson to the rest of you'

yeah already pointed out, Damo SAU's new hood :ninja:

I bought one from a chick in NSW for $450, second hand, only to have my mechanic tell me that it was 100% f**ked. The springs were loose and there were cracks on the pressure plate. I contacted the chick (who is NSW exec) and denied that it was broken and said that it was fine when she removed it from her car (even tho she admitted it was slipping at 350kw).

$450 down the drain from a 'trusted' sau member, I was pretty shitty. I'm considering sending it to Jim to rebuild but cant afford it at this moment.

Not sure if it was the full monty or mini monty, but it has been the single biggest waste of money ever spent via an SAU purchase.

-D

my 1st sau purchase was for a S2 r34 turbo, ended up getting a shitty S1 r33 turbo.

$600 down the drain, seller refused to answer an pm's or phone calls.

grr

since then hasnt been an issue, plus I sell for cheaps so that keeps karma my way

anyone know the EXACT process of gettin sa reg for in interstate car?

go to transport sa and fill out a form and thats about it. they'll issue you with sa plates unless you specify customs

i believe u only need to go to regency if the car is defected interstate or unregistered. if its registered interstate its just a simple paperwork/numberplate swap.

-D

I transferred a QLD Delica over which was registered and not defected, took it to Vehicle Inspections for them to take a look over it(numbers check etc.) and got a form which says its all good been checked over, took that around the corner to Transport SA and filled out the transfer form paid fees rego and got the SA plates....

correct Vu you will need a vehicle inspection but its not @ regency they check matching numbers and tint and no major leaks takes all of 10 mins checking time and back to regency to pay for plates and vis check

Naww :)

In other news, I know of one of the guys who died in the bomb blast in Enfield :laugh:

did he seem to you to be a candidate for the darwin awards?

from the looks of the blast it makes me think one of them mustve lit a ciggie before planting the bomb

lol

Police 2

Scumbags 0

yeah would have to add a clause if you get there and dont like it then you pay him for his time to come and get you and catch a plane back home

and go for a drive back to his house to finalise paper work and see where he lives :):laugh:

    • 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/
