im keen to head back carseldine way tomorrow night for a longer stay this time.

BTW got to the airport in time fine the other night. other than being half an hour late due to a 4 car pileup on the airport road....

and my bro was half an hour late due to dodgy baggage claim timing.....and everything being uber busy. 9:10 before i got there, just as he walked out...geebus what drive

lots of fun..

I'm at aspley, where the hell is this said joint at carseldine, someone pm me it. Keen to come out for a chat & pizzas.

woolworths complex cnr beams/gympie rds. I'm not there this week . if I am there look for a signed combo van.

I was on my way home from dinner at about 9pm'ish and there was no one there other than general shoppers...

There was a marked police car parked out the front of the coffee shop tho on the entrance to the center...

Probably just refueling themselves for a hard night of "read the newspaper at the station rather than catch junkies breaking and entering"... :P

i headed down with my little bro. we were there from 7:30- about 8:15 before we gave up and headed home :)

all good tho. was a nice drive and some eats either way. contemplated heading down to BNR...but decided to head home and do some drinking instead

I'll be at carseldine shops in the van from 730. I would like to get this meet going properly so if you can drag a few more people in even better. I'll even spot a pizza or two :)

yup i'll be there again on thursday. and i too would like to get it rolling. if we get a good hand full of regulars we could even make a road trip occasionally to BNR to see the southerners :action-smiley-069:

on the topic of the weather..........ridiculous. ruined our entire days work today. had the entire pool interior in and smoothed off, looking pretty....and it haled and pissed down......7 peoples work hrs, and all the pebble wasted for nothing.....thousands of dollars of waste basically.......shit....

/rant out

Yes rain is certainly something different. Still don't have the gtr back from dan's yet & heading back to work for 2 weeks so have to catch up with y'all when i gets back...hopefully won't be raining then :P

    • 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/
