Well done to everyone who organised and attended (except for the pelicans who were being fully in the carpark). Was a great day, very well organised. Congrats to the award winners, although I dunno how I didn't get Worst in Show, judges must've missed the massive rust hole on my car and the "drift damage".

when it comes to pictures, if any one has pictures of any of the R31's ide love a copy if its possible, or at the least some pics of the white passage with the BBS mesh rims and black grill with the red GTS writing on it.

again thanks, i feel pooped can only imagine how the early birds must feel.

I am adding my photos over here.. have a fair few to get through.. though I didnt even manage to get around to all the cars.. spent too much time running around and back and forth etc :P

Awesome day, And some really awesome cars . This is a great venue for such an event. Great to get out of the burning sun and appreciate some peoples hard work and Big cash spent on excellent skylines. People I found were pretty social and approachable and very happy to discuss modifications etc.

excellent panning. great photos.

Thanks everyone for coming along, we had 150 cars in the end which was miles more than the last show we ran. And I reckon it was a brilliant mix of normal, race and show cars there too.

Also thanks everyone for your understanding in getting there on time and supporting the long day - some of the judging took a little long and things were running a little late but we were trying to make sure we got it all right.

Watch out for the upcoming overage of the event in HPI who were good enough to come along for the day ;)

anyway off to bed....6 hours sleep in 2 days means I am stuffed!

Some awesome shots you got of my DR30... cheers!

Great day and big thanks to everyone involved. Must say what great venue too and can't wait till the next one.

bloody hell, return to the 80s! I feel like it's back to the future!

    • 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/
