f**k that,
having a break tomorrow...




had to go to a vcat hearing a couple days ago lol.
customer had bought a fridge from us 6 or 7 years ago.
fridge didnt work, issued 3 warranty call outs, in the end we agreed on a refund.
dude rocks up with a munted fridge, claims it fell off the truck but its still our fault that it fell off the truck.
then trys to get the full refund out of me,
in the end i offered him 1300 which he declined, kept it for 2 years and had to scrap it.
then takes me to vcat for $2700


ended up settling on me paying him $850 lol

mate was interested in it if it was cheap enough

she wants $12k with no rwc, no rego, car looks like balls, and a wrecker engine, dreaming

Offer her $50 and a crack pipe then?

As long as the compression is good that would be a decent deal I would have thought

Car looks like shit still compared to when I had it, also going by what her previous car looked like it's no surprises it looks like shit

I like dimple 15 but for the same money I prefer Glenlivet 12

if you want to start, minimum spend on a drinkable whiskey is ~$50

for a beginners scotch @ $50 you can usually get glenlivet 12, glenfiddich 12, dimple 15, balantynes 12, or chivas regal 12 - any of these are very approachable drams

If you are happy to spend the coin I would say the best one to start on would be Glenmorangie 10 year which will run you about $65

best value would be JW black for $38 @ dan's but this is a) not as nice as the above b) much peatier, which is not as beginner friend

Thanks, will probably give the Glenmorangie a try. Best way of drinking it? On the rocks?

Mad they've got more money than most of the people in there...

Incorrect.

They EARN more money than most people in there, then spend it on a maloo, a jetski, a dirt bike, piss and hookers and then leave the mines with nothing to show for their wasted years :P

    • 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/
