went to the trouble of taking the 200 around to a potential buyers house tonight, which is no small thing when you dont have a licence and the only other manual driver in the house has recently had surgery on his knee, but anyways, i found a way.

get the car there (out in mile end), park up in the dudes very well lit drive way, and he spends 5 minutes looking around the car, doesnt pop the hood, doesnt look under the car, and doesnt ask any questions.

after hes done he comes up to me and says, "look mate, im a mechanic, and its obvious to me that this car hasnt been looked after, and i reckon its been drifted into a kerb or 2 eh, chuck us the keys and ill take it for a test drive, if im happy with it, ill give you $9k."

dont know what the hell he was expecting with that.

What a fkn knob!

Thats yas early in the year of 2006 that wasn't all the cars either we counted around 50-55 people even came over from interstate was very awesome as Heslo, nightcrawler, john munro and a few others can testify

Unfortunately a cruise of that size again would be a logistic nightmare

Edit we did have a lot of cars in the one spot for our trackday granted not 50 cars but a 50 car track day would make it super cheap but also mean you only get about 20odd laps

As some of you may already know, I'm in the process of getting my little part-time business off the ground (BITSUS Customs)

While I'm waiting for my professional website to come together, I've created a fcebook business page in the meantime.

So for those that may be interested,

EDIT: Must be a site sponsor to advertise any business on this forum

One day I'll get my consulting business off the ground properly. I can help you with your business ... bookkeeping/advice/payroll ... almost all aspects of business. Already got my ABN and business name ... just need to register the business name and start building up clientele.

    • 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/
