Fantastic day, really glad I went, and learnt heaps from a well-run workshop that covered a lot. Weather held up beautifully too. Great to meet Antonio and Russel from Waxit, as well as see a few familiar SAU faces. The black 34 GTR was mint. Love your 19" volks.

My wallet's a lot lighter with all the stuff I bought, but it'll be an investment in my poor neglected car. Really amazed at how that special cleaner just powered through all the buildup on the rear-bar from the exhaust. I've tried removing it before with many things, none of which worked. I shelled out for the C.Quartz hard coat that apparently lasts for >12 months. I'm lazy, and can't be assed waxing every 2 months. Anyone else used this? I think you have to be quite particular and fussy with how to apply it - it is not as forgiving as wax/other sealantsm, and the surface you are coating really should be pristine. Will give it a go later.

Looking forward to the advanced session.

it really was amazing to see just how easy high quality products are to use. I am planning to take my car down to the guys in a couple of weeks to get the bonnet looked at and will definately shell out for the p21 kit and the wheel sealant

Big thanks to Waxit and Antonio for taking the time to show us how to maintain our cars in the correct way, thanks for all the comments about my GTR as well, its good to see the hours of me being pedantic about it pays off!!! I like many others, emptied my pockets again in the showroom, there is just so much I wanted and had to have!!!

I'll be in for the next one...

Hi Guys and Gals,

Thanks again for coming down to the Waxit SAU Detailing Clinic,

Great to meet you all, and Im wrapped we found a way to clean the black stuff from around the rear bar from your exhausts.

If anyone has any questions please shout out!

See you all soon!

    • 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/
