Depends on lines; with baggage, the earliest, I call 8:45.

If you're trying to skimp on airport parking then park at Maccas and wait for phone call...or chance your 20 minutes in the wait and collect zone on the way to terminal 4.

Or do what other tight asses do and pull over on the Tulla pretending to be broken down lol

The maccas outside the airport can be a pain for parking since all the chauffeurs park there... Try getting off the exit before the airport, there's a much bigger maccas just at the exit. Think that exit is called mck something.

thats a kinda busy time at airport, on a plus note it means more ppl working. lucky it just b4 a 380 but if her flight delayed it will push out quickly.

I normally go with 30 min.

that said I have been in a taxi in under 10 min from landing once!

make sure you track the plane to know the actual landing time and then work with 15-20 min from that.

RS5 y u no drag me. You didn't buy the sports model, you bought the racing model...why do this if you're gonna take off like a Hyundai Excel. Did the smell of burning sugarcane scare you?

Answer me!

RS4 was no racing model when I drove it, my guess is the RS5 isn't much better.

even worse this morning

but when you command a 350kw battle ship nothing is a racing model :woot:

Perhaps. I just expected more.

I think it needed twin turbo and ethanol, but there just wasn't room, and it was a hatch so no boot. :P

only rs model ive ever driven was an old rs6 wagon from (i think) early 2000's. was a mint car on das autobarn.

Take the "Freight" exit, which is currently used for the Long Term Parking, on your left there will be a waiting area designed specifically for people like you who just want to hang out and wait for planes to land so you're not doing laps constantly or clogging up maccas.

Mickelham Rd?

This. I sit in the car park till i know the person has collected baggage, then sit in pick-up zone waiting for them. If you get kicked out, do a lap round the block and start again.

BRING IT OOOOOOOOON

Meh, I just don't drive to the airport since it costs me $80 in fuel for the trip.

Came back from Sydney on Monday... Long Term Car park from Saturday 7am until Monday 11am cost me $70 (3 days).

I seem to remember leaving the car there for a full week once, and I think it was about $90... Blergh.

    • 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/
