pickup from where Brendan

hey Steve I live in Morphett Vale

still havent got the stagea back so i cant really get anywhere; been carless since June (ringlands broke at April trackday)

its the complete unit, black plastic box with the heater core. Was going to use it on my stagea but have never gotten around to it.

For all the young guns here on the forums chasing some inspiration, or just interested in the p-plate side of the modified scene: Go pick up the latest installment of Performance Imports magazine and you'll find a bonus mag in the pack dedicated to your genre.

Also, in the catch can article on page 46 we have a couple of nice looking bnr32's that i swear look fimiliar ;) vu and must be chuffed :)

Gosh, haven't been to Wasteland much these days. How y'all doin? :D

102m2 house extension, and I'm doing most of the work myself.

Oh and been toying with a dirty Bluebird. Suspension and brake upgrade anyone?

:P

Spent all Sunday pulling the motor and trans out of My soon to be track weapon, put in a fresh clutch, bolted it all back in and still no gopinch.gif

Seems that the Lhf driveshaft has destroyed all the splines in the front hub, open wheeler diff in FWD means no go!

That and some dodgy earth issues(that made the car run like i dropped a couple of pots, andi can't afford to loose any!) and leaking throttle body gasket.

At least i've got my minilites stripped of their tyres ready for sandblasting and respraying next weekthumbsup.gif

This thing is gonna Decimate all at race warslaughing-smiley-014.gif

^^ its not about offending its about vilifying different groups on people based on sex, religion, race

its not on

*sigh*

people need to read the definition of 'vilification' - vilification is when you're using someones personal preferences as a sledge, or more technically 'to incite hatred or harm'

While I can't say that the comment was in good taste, surely that is all it was guilty of. Considering there have been many proven cases of abuse in the catholic diocese (and many other religions I might add to equalize the statement), the fact that people are going to make satire out of fact is hardly surprising...

If one was to say 'X likes to do Y, so lets bash/kill/call em dork/whatever", if that were to happen then that does qualify as vilification as it incites people to act against another individuals personal beliefs, encourages violence and civil disrest.

I really do appreciate the sentiment behind this, esp when it comes to covering ourselves legally, but lets understand what we're accusing people of first... I thought the comment was a bit off (mainly cause the pope is not the guilty party), but I didn't take offence (because he's the figurehead and its natural that he cops the flack) and considering the school I went to had many students molested by the clergy (and teachers) its hardly surprising anyone is going to make such comments... but such comments are not vilification.... nor is a picture of jesus riding a dinosaur, for that matter....

    • 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/
