Late reply but no runs for me for a while guys. Will be very busy the next couple months at least until life settles down for me.

Will also have to reluctantly miss Nov 9th dude. I'll be sending someone off at the airport that day.

You will just have to make the Christmas party then :)

Next sunday ... doooo eeeeet .

Not many skyline cruises on

Well man just last week a mate of mine with 5 other imports got pulled into queensland transport for a full on defecting session that went for a couple hours.

News like that spreads....and equals less and less cruises. Has definitely put me off that's for sure :(

A cruise is meant to be something one enjoys....not an event where you try to spot fat c*nts in see-me vests in the middle of the road waving their glow in the dark butt plugs around.

Yeh I know what you mean man...I'm doing likewise. I've just been focusing on work stuffs while the car sits in the shed all week and only comes out for a grocery run lol.

Life would be quite chaotic for you at the mo eh? :D

Luckily, we are not in the same position as Brissy/Gold Coast guys when we go cruising around our area. We have passed numerous cops on our little jaunts with 5 or so cars and have never had any dramas. If you hit the limiter constantly in 60 zones and hang out at with the douchers on Thursday nights you deserve to be pulled up imo.

Totes down for a Queen Mary run, bit of different scenery would be good. Could be available on the public hol

Ah well I'm not too fussed about it all anymore Clint....I'm looking at pulling out of the car scene for a while and focusing on more important matters. Start investing in something that actually gets you some returns and not just takes your money never to be seen again haha....8 years of pouring money into these pits was just cray cray (for real real, not for play play)

Maybe get back in to the scene one day with a nice cruiser of some sort? I mean all I / we do is cruise around...so maybe a nice phat V8 land yacht of some sort....maybe even something along the lines of a hotrod or a Cobra for those Sunday drives in the hinterland ;) Something nice and raw - an easily accessible engine with 4 wheels attached!

Even fancy the occasionaly 240z and 928's

^ He still has it. I see it occasionally driving along hume st LOL.

Either he's heading home or perhaps going somewhere to get a feed?

To be honest, I don't think they're money pits. I don't drink nor do I smoke, plus there's also money going into the bank so some of my disposable income has to go somewhere. Spending your money/consumption keeps the economy going.

Although I have to admit, having any disposable income may be a thing of the past and I think you've understood my current situation pretty well, Tommeh ;)

Chris, I'll make it a point to attend Xmas at yours. Your family puts up the maddest feed!

all about having a healthy savings/bills/disposable ratio mateys. I have too many other extra curricular activities and habits in addition to the car to warrant spending considerable monies on it.

yes I do make an appearance on Hume st for my daily commute, when I use it for work. Gets so boring driving the spare car. Nick, you seem to spend a bit of time on Hume st yourself?

    • 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/
