hey dion are you hiding from me and james lol
I see you lurking Mr Crossman :P

I told you guys, today is my study day, have to limit contact with the outside world :cool:

Looks like you have a bit of sunburn in those pictures James.

lol, and I spilt drink on myself before those photos haha

Spent the day putting up my new fence, and fabricating a sliding gate (to be automated) at the front of the house. House extension is on hold at the moment whilst I've got re-submitted plans with Council, waiting on approval for some engineering changes (floor framing). Gotta keep moving on with the house, so the front yard is getting some security upgrades ... 600mm high brick fence is now 1800mm high thanks to timber slats. Gate is under construction. And I'm ripping up the front lawn for an extra driveway addition.

Next weekend, I finish the gate, and render the front of the house. Busy much? :cool:

Well I've probably found my house. Walked in today at the open and just had a gut feeling this was the one. Not getting too excited yet just incase I don't get it but will be making an offer on it :cool:

Massive shed! Lots of parking space, reno'ed kitchen, bathroom, etc. Price seems right. I like it!

excellent, as long as there is enough room for a single bed, the GTR and a little mazda, then you are pretty much set.

and i beleive we should use this as our new mainstream form of communication, it is so much easier to get into contact with you lol

Yeah, it's pretty nice, got a few ideas in mind already if I do get it, just don't want to get too far ahead of myself

And wtf that car is hideous

Here ya go. Pics really don't do it justice though
Looks nice, good luck. I made heaps of offers on houses when i was looking and all offers were above the asking price and i still missed out on about 6 or so houses, was a crazy time to buy.

    • 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/
