We could do a catch up on Friday if you boys would commit to coming down...

I'm full this weekend man, Friday work 5am-6pm then off to qr for the drifting, then work Saturday morning then arvo party then piss up with the uni boys

Nice pics :thumbsup:

Big fan of that skyline rocking the same wheels as me. Love the whole "OEM+" movement.

Cheers for the offer Chris but Nick is right. Would be a bit tight in the back. Whoever gets the seat directly behind yours is screwed LOL

Realistically, only my wife could get comfortable in those rear seats :P

I have had 4 in the car with me driving, wasn't very comfortable but was do-able. 3 is fine have had a mate and the old boy make trips down to Brisbane and have both been comfortable.

I think I've got a few good pics of your car Chris. Once I've got them sorted I'll send them to you, or post them up or something.

Those of you who missed out on last nights dinner, it was great. Steak was sooo awesome. Good chat about the direction that people want the club to go as well.

There's gonna be another dinner next Wednesday. Any suggestions as to where? I've had one suggestion being the German Club. Never been there so I have no idea what it's like.

Post them up on here, I hardly see any photos of my car beside the ones that I take.

Like I said on SAUQLD definitely keen to make the trip down just at a time that's a bit more suited.

Actually that's an idea Chris bro we should round up some of te toowoomba boys and head down, Tom would fit right in at te German club :D

We will try to work something out. Why would a South African fit right in at a German club? lol

Will definitely come down on a Friday night if organized

Going through pics now Chris.

Is 2 weeks enough notice for you guys if we organise a dinner for a Friday night? Or do you think a dinner in Toowoomba would get a crowd? I'm fine with heading your way if it means we'd have a good turn out.

I will be there for this don't care about being tired for work :)

Toowoomba crew, here is the details for this coming week's dinner. It is a Wednesday night, but after this one we'll head up your way for a Friday night dinner.

Last weeks dinner and chat was great. We had about 10.5 people there and a lot of laughs over some pretty awesome steak.

We all agreed that next year we are going to have a bigger variety and more frequent events. A lot of them will be car oriented but also things such as go karting, paintball, etc

This week were heading to the German Club in Woolloongabba. Sausage, beer and car talk once again. In?

Who: anyone who wants to do more with the club and be in on some awesome events

What: dinner and car talk over sausage

Where: The German Club, 416 Vulture St, East Brisbane (opposite the Gabba)

When: 7pm, Wednesday 14 October 2012

Why: To discuss new and better club events

How: over German sausage and beer.

So if you're new or old to the club, love your car and want your voice heard, come along, enjoy some German sausage and have a laugh.

See you there!

I was looking after the girlfriend's son. He's 3. He only joined in half of the conversation so counted him as half a person :P

He had a fit when we were coming in and he saw Noel's GT-R. He was jumping up and down saying Skyline, Skyline! Gt-R, GT-R!!

So that was the 0.5,

What is in the works for the /Friday night dinner up here? Do I need to find a place for dinner or we could even have a BBQ at my place?

This kid sounds like one smart cookie

Gigity ;)... No rear wind down windows in skyline causes issue but anyway.

What's been crackin Nick?

Nothing much. Been quietly going about my business. Also been procrastinating a lot when it comes to doing up the car. I have a couple of parts I'd like to get put onto the car but I just can't be bothered. Perhaps one day I'll hit up my mate and get everything done.

Nice to see you've got big plans for yours ;)

You might want to get a mechanical diff centre, some better brakes and good tyres to suit your car's new found superpowers! (if you haven't already).

So.............when are the Twmba boys gonna meet up and do a little cruise and/or spirited drive? Its been a rather long time no?

It sorta feels like we're (when I say "we", I mean we as a group and not me having a different sub-species of car :P ) a dying breed and all the time, the number of skylines keep increasing around town. I swear I've come across no less than five 33s that have to be new to town.

Could do the 23rd. Would you guys be able to travel half way to say Ipswich? Or we could make it a Saturday lunch...

    • 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/
