Oh god I just read the list of banned P plater cars...

V8 and V12 Mercedes-Benz

Lexus IS F, LS460, LS600h, SC430

V8 Jaguars

Supercharged, some turbocharged petrol engine and all V8 and V10 Audis

V8 and V12 Aston Martins

Aston Martin Vantage and DB9

Lamborghini Gallardo and Murcielago

Ferrari 612, 559 and California

TVR Cerbera, Chimeara and Griffith

Maserati Granturismo and Quattroporte

Rolls Royce Phanton, Corniche and Silver Seraph

Oh no! Little Billy who's just turned 17 can no longer drive his $1.3 million dollar Rolls Royce Phantom to Colonades! And all those kids who own Bently's can't rip huge skids in the hills anymore.

Why did they bother adding 6 and 7 figure price tag cars to that list?!

I imagine so rich kids can't subvert the rules by parents giving them something awesome, or borrowing their parents car ...

LOL RubyRS4 that seems to happen a lot these days specially near the the new tram tracks on port road...what a nightmare.

Good that guy got the boot, there isn't any need for bogan hostility. Still funny though. I can see him now slinking back to his Datto 120y with a 5k stereo system.

:blink:

Its clear now that he singled me out ... whether it was because I was in a jap car, or in office attire and looking an easy target. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to shake their head at the situation ... and if he's easily upset over a shake of the head, then he needs to HTFU.

You should of smashed him

I was certainly grinding my teeth and counting to 10 over the situation. But he was the type who would just keep mouthing off, whilst walking backwards at the same pace I'd be approaching him. Seen the type many times before. He got his punishment ... I'm happy with that.

:blink:

:blink: Awww you'd look so cute too Ruby

I took this photo at BigW at the Plaza last night .... even their POS terminals can have Windows FAIL :blink:

Woolworths and Coles self serve are pathetic too btw - always having stupid errors cos ur item weighs ever so slightly differently than it should! grr.. (not that they crash but eh)

Fuuuuuck, cars on the trailer ready to go. Had some 'issues' with fitting the R33 GT-R wheels on the front as they just knicked the strut *ffs*

Anyone coming out to Mallala tomorrow that could bring out a pair of bolt on spacers I could maybe borrow for the day?

I possiably have a mate that is going home to try n swap his bolt ons with a slip on to make sure all clearances but just covering all bases!

Love you all - hahaha

    • 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/
