Dave be careful of what you say, as I live in Gawler. So keep your opinions to yourself.

I'm fairly sure I know the workshop that was mentioned. I some what know the guy whose dad's owns it. NO I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH HIM.

Will see what I can find out.

Will be worth asking, you never know, someone may have tried selling parts to them.

Ruby: Careful or ill get the wooden spoon out!

The way I see it, the cars arnt being stolen from Gawler, so I'm not the one losing here!

We have a candy store on the main street with an old lady working there. How cool is that. Pretty cool.

better than a randy old man handing out candy from his van, thats for sure

Maybe the candy store is a front for a car rebirthing racket ... and the old lady is the brains behind the operation! Not so sweet now is she? :)

commiserations :D

Penny -> :) <- SLED

LOL. Ive lived here for the past 14yrs n never had a problem.......then again i never go into actual Gawler anymore as i hate it haha.

Back on topic, any fresh updates with this?

So the holes you live in are better then the holes others live in... Thanks thread.

I hope the owner find who did this. Not only for his own reasons and/or comforts, but to destabilize the criminal activity on our cars, especially of late.

I knew idiots who (back in the day) used to steal cars, etc. Only took them to get nailed for it once and they stopped doing it. Best of luck.

lol at people getting defensive of their suburb, i (along with other sau members) cop shit about living in the north, but its all in fun..

Damo summed it up nicely we all cop shit for the suburb we live in

and how very true your second statement, or maybe some unpleasant time in the big house, i say unpleasant because most of the time its just a fun factory

    • 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/
