Already posted in the Wanted To Borrow Thread,

But does anyone have access to a car trailer that I could borrow on Saturday for the price of a carton?

I'm located up north east, and would need the trailer 3pm-4pm.

Not sure a hire trailer from the servo is worth $69 for one hour's of usage.

cheer, Nigel

an abundance jake? really? come on.

No: It's too dangerous

* Dr Helen Caldicott, anti-nuclear activist: “We spend millions of dollars trying to find a cure for cancer, [yet] here’s an industry that will directly propagate that hideous disease. Nuclear power is medically contraindicated.”

ok, cool. so its okay to use readioactive therapy for treating cancer, and xrays are cool, but its not okay to have 3rd and 4th gen nuclear reactors in the middle of butt f**k egypt powering the hospitals with the waste stored even further away than butt f**k egypt?

... okay...?

funnily enough, the nuclear power debate is one that comes up rather frequently at work (we have a fair bit of free time), and the 3 most popular reasons used for the 'no' argument are nuclear proliferation (even though half the people that use this argument dont actually know what it means).

terrorism, which is a pretty slim chance sorta thing considering nuclear reactors around the world have about as much security as your average nuclear weapons storage/production/destruction facility.

(if anyones ever seen 'worlds biggest fixes on discovery, this covered briefly during an episode where theyre repairing a nuclear reactor turbine, probably ex military security wearing military grade armour and carrying m4 carbines in every room of the facility, on top of numerous 'unfakable' security check points).

and finally, nuclear waste storage, some people simply cannot seem to fathom how little room nuclear waste takes up, especially in a country like australia, where such a huge percentage of the continent is suitable (and suitably distant from population centres) for the storage of depleted nuclear materials, and that the vessels used to transport and store said spent fuel have been constantly improved and tweaked since before nuclear power was even an idea.

    • 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/
