i filled out my membership form finally!

as for the cruise, great time had by all i think and only a patch of rain on the way home. Thanks for organising it guys, really was the cherry on the cake of a great wknd.

pics up soon but just wanted to say how much fun i had though i wouldnt have minded a few more twisties thrown in there, wish i had gone back via Putty road too but followed my nose onto the Great Western and got stuck in construction zone traffic with everyone else.:closedeyes:

Ah the old wrap up thread,,,how gay.

Hadn't been on a cruise in years and decided to tag along with the Pres,,,just to keep him sane.

Great day indeed,,,nice cars,,,cool people and a great lunch spot.

Cheers and thanks to the organizing peeps,,,,job very well done.

Neil.

Hope that everyone had a blast, was a good day! Thanks for navigating Benm :thumbsup:

Everyone got there in pretty much one piece, and the people I asked said that the food was pretty good.

Highway patrol were policing part of the road then had to go!, and poor Shell found a pothole near the end >_<

Post up them pics!

fantastic first cruise for me n my little cripple. got to meet and speak with almost everyone. enjoyed the roads up there too, good shake down for new tyres brake pads (still squeak like hell) and sway bars. and used just under half a tank!

yeah she was tiny, well done on her for wolfing all that down lol

how did she do the leg in? ski-ing trip or refusing to get in the kitchen?

btw great pies but not worth $9.50 IMHO

apple pie was pretty damn good but again, for 12 bucks i would have wanted something a little larger than i had. i think i have been spoilt by mostly eating from bargain basement asian bakeries in western sydney though lol

no idea why ben looked angry, i was just wandering around snapping pics at random. best way to get those 'natural moments'. You know, cinema verite and shit.

speaking of which, thats exactly what that was under the orange wheels. i got out of there pretty quick when he told me he was going to light up the rears upon leaving..

First cruise with the club; first time out for new RB22 motor (got dropped in on Wednesday night); first time in the Megalong Valley; first drive of a Skyline for 17 year-old son.

All in all a number one day. Thank you to everyone involved - great bunch of people.

Looking forward to the next cruise in Canberra !!!

    • 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/
