Just make sure you don't get too aggressive. Too often on cruises you see guys who'd have the "backyard roll" done and the paint is stressed, there is unevenness in the guard... Nasty stuff all for the sake of saving a couple bucks and spending a bit more time on it.

Nah not keen on fucking up the guards, just wanna tuck the inner lp under so there's no chance of it catching.

car doesn't start....

I took out the battery and tray to fit my fan shroud, and when i put it all back together. i have no electricity at all, battery is fine. 13V across, so what could be the issue? Obviously, car won't start. Grounding?

Three new Audi A8s driving one in front of the other with their curved LED strips on...that's no coincidence...wonder where they were headed? Towards Ferntree Gully? :/

Audi A8 uses individual LED's for the main driver headlights. Probably the next craze to be copied by all other car manufacturers.

Props for Audi to create something even cooler than the led strip they made in the past

massive traffic at boronia rd/stud road intersection. Saw a tow truck fly up to the front. As I got to the front of the intersection, saw the tow truck loading up a car with a couple of police cars on the right lane. In between the cop car and tow truck was a person talking to a huge video camera...probably for the tv show HWY Patrol... Pretty silly to be causing so much traffic for a tv show :/

/CSB ; look out for a black r32 driving behind the person being interviewed on camera haha

pretty sure lexus had the led headlights on the LS range a few years back.. so audi kinda copied them if thats the case. having said that audi LED's look so good

but im so over fgts putting leds if your car dont have em dont stick them on! and now you can buy aftermarket VE holden headlights with 'audi style' LED strip what da ferk yo holden aint no audi bogan.

    • 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/
