Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

x.o

That's a gutsy post of yours Alex. You take care now on the 20th.

If the two families would appreciate a book each that I wrote called,

"GOOD GRIEF - BAD TIME" '3 Ways Of Coping With Loss' ...

PM me with your address, and I'll send them to you for free.

Otherwise these published books are distributed by...

www.bushchurchaid.com.au

One of the poems inside my book is this... It's written anonymously by a woman who lost 2 sons I'm led to believe...

"I'm Spending Christmas With Jesus Christ This Year"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me: I see the pain inside your heart

But I am not so far away; we really aren't apart.

I cannot tell you of the splendour or the peace inside this place.

Can you imagine Christmas with our Saviour, face to face?

I will ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold:

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessing or love He has for each of you.

So have a 'Merry Christmas' and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

God Bless you Alex...

I had med them both on a few occasions and have had some great chats.

Gerard always offered advice since I met him at my very first event last August..

It is a very sad day for us all..

Again Rest in Peace friends, Texi will always bring back some strong memories of a friend taken too soon.

Thank you for all the good times,

You will live on always in our hearts.

I only met Gerard and Tom at the last Texi event in Jan, but both were some of the friendliest guys I've ever metmet. Happy to offer a kind word, encouragement, and mateship. Though I didn't know them anywhere near as well as a lot of people on this forum, I can still say that I'll miss them... And that all of us will always remember them.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
