Ahh mate it's probably not the place to be posting my dramas, but what the hell why not.... I'm not far off being on the single scene again, after 7+yrs & a 17mth old bub. Ahh well, these things happen.

It's nothing wrong with the car, if that's what you were thinking :wave:

shit greg, sorry, got the my dates messed up - I was hoping you be able to attend.

so, does anybody have a problem with the 6th or March (saturday prior)????? if so please let speak up, cos I dont want to stuff anyone around be changing dates if thats possibel

No probs with me, probably actually better for me the weekend earlier - plus I want to see Gregs car on the rollers before he goes away!!

Really sorry to hear that Matt, seperated with mine a couple of years ago, then we got back together (you would think I learnt from my mistakes the first time:p)

- good to hear the car is ok:)

Thanks Steve. Actually she's your next door neighbour atm, how's that for ironic! If you look very closely you'll notice a BoostWorx sticker :) Hmmm.... gotta' look on the bright side, more room in the garage now :wave:

I'll have a chat to Shaun & see about getting a TV set up to watch the GP during the dyno day.

hey man .. u got a gtr?? shiet .. how much??

I got it for $17KAUS FOB

So its working out to be about $23K mark...only another week or 2 away...

I've been having insomnia for the last few weeks waiting :wave:

Im in the same boat hehe as ecenshu if my car is here and onroad by then it be good to see what its got and also meet everyone. But its cutting it close .

Also the GP is on March 4 til 7 which im attending :D Go kimi

I have booked 6th of March, so once again, if there are any problems speak up quickly or this date will be set.

Runs to start at 11am.

on another note, just found out my new wastegate spring (that I just received from Japan) is only 10psi instead of 1 bar - farken, farken FARKEN

Anybody got a spare 1 bar wastegate spring to suit HKS standard wastegate? its the yellow one:)

Just wondering does this boostworks have a four wheel drive dyno? Not sure if I can go but if I can it would be better then having to take the drive shaft out.

2WD, well it was the last time I was there

er, the dyno is during the day?

yeh but i live in murray bridge and im plaaying at the mannum pretoria

and im the one who carts the gear and sets up

so that dont give me a full day at the dyno i would have to leave by 2pm

to much running around :thumbdwn:

    • 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/
