i got friday off yay....time to get things sorted out already lol....extra long weekend for me :D

I have every second weekend off fri till sun...but every second weekend i've gotta work which sucks...Do a 7 day fortnight 12 hour days

Work is currently offering a total of 12 hours of overtime during the week (so 4 12 hour days/week) and 8 hours each weekend day. If systems are up and running on the weekends, I can work up 72 hours/week (including lunch), most of which I take of course :domokun:

lol dave this is sau not facebook lol......sounds like a rockin weekend mate

i honestly cant tell the difference between the 2 a lot of times.

sometimes you click open the wasteland and its like an episode of days of our lives... just with more swearing and trolling.

may aswell weigh in and say I work 12 hours a week

Yeah work is super slow atm and I am only working around 12 hours a week .... and am only getting paid around $1,200 a week for the privilege - nice on the the lifestyle, not so nice on the toys budget :domokun:

Look what turned up in the post for me today :domokun:

Sorry about the fail IPhone pics, but you get the idea. Will take some better pics of it as a car and transformed when it is a nice sunny day and I get the decent camera out.

Yeah but I might have foregone working for 3 years while I did a degree (can ANY of you imagine not working/earning money for 3 years?), then moved to Darwin for 15 months straight out of Uni to get some practical experience .... and I have to do some more study and examinations to get even better qualifications soon :domokun:

    • 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/
