+2....I'd like to know as well.......does anyone know what is going on around here

Hahaha. I thought you were in charge of this one.... Should we start throwing in suggestions for routes etc? I don't have any BTW, but would appreciate it if not too far north, although the last drive thru the mountains was very enjoyable.

Doesn't look like I will be able to make it gents. My engine is half built though still waiting on the port job on the head before run in tune. A real shame really as I should have the car in a week or two though still on a run in tune and I don't want to do anything too far from home in the first 500 km's.

I'll be posting a build thread up later once I have the photos of everything getting done. Gone a little silly on the car with the engine rebuild and thinking of putting a larger turbo on though still undecided what I would want if I move to a single setup.

Got the block chemically cleaned and micro polished, bored 40 though, CP oversized pistons, Nitto h beams, nismo bearings, full arp and head stud kit, crank cryo frozen, tomei oil restrictor, nitto oil pump, high octane sheet metal sump extension, tomei sump baffle, full port job on head, tomei type b cams, tomei valve springs, tomei metal gasket kit, cam baffles, hks type r intercooler, Z32 afms & kakimoto exhaust.

yeah i agree about another drive thru the hlls. it was fun last time. how about we do that in the arvo then stop somewhere for dinner? or vice versa

Good idea

southside hills...only leaves Tambo or back of Goldy......need a plan....I will have alook at google

No Dyno. I spoke with EFI. It is too hard to drop front shafts on the day etc etc. and not enough numbers anyway. We would be lucky to have had 5 or 6

My car goes into EFI on Wednesday for 11 days while I am in NZ getting another bigger clutch and a retune from 16 to 20psi :banana:

Guys,

I am going to have to cancel this meet all togather.

I was suppose to nbe in NZ now on hoildays but due to ash cloud and cancelled flights, I have had to move my trip back a week. So I actually will not be back until the 11th July.

Plus I wont have my car back from the workshop either due to leaving later.

Will look at re scheduling later in July or eraly August

I was planning on going to qld sau drag day end of July to race again. If people are intersted, could combine a meet and finish there to either watch or join in???

No worries. Since I don't want to organise it, I'm happy to go with whatever comes up.. Maybe there'll be more interest in the dyno if we go later....

Happy holidays mate.

Have fun guys and girls... will try and make the next one. Getting my car back at the end of the week. Tis a shame this wasn't on at the end of the month....

My cars been in the shop for a long 6 weeks putting things back together. The motor went in today. Got a couple photos on Friday checking out the progress... looking nice and tidy.

Exhaust port and polish inside.

so is everyone happy with commsman's proposed route?? or would u guys like to hit mt mee again?? or any other suggestions??

LOL, proposed route? I just looked on google maps for the squigliest road in the Gold Coast hinterland :rolleyes: . Not sure now where that was.

I really dug Mt Mee, but was a long drive from Byron. Still happy to go back for another run if that's what people want tho.

    • 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/
