awesome matt!!!

i was thinking of just using my street tyres, but i told mum to bring me up a couple stockies on her visit this weekend :), dont want to lose to much tread on my federals!

Yeah I'll bring some 17s I think and if I can make

It fit I'll bring the Trolley jack too so its easy....

What do people normally do? Load the back seat with tyres? I'm a Noob!!

Go to your local $2 shop and buy a doona/thick blanket. Put that over the back seat if you can't be bothered taking the seat out. That will protect your seat fabric. Then put a jack in, and fill the rest with wheels haha. If you're heading down with a mate (or have someone coming who will let you borrow theirs) then I'd suggest bringing one jack and sharing it

I'll be bringing a jack up, but it's kinda crap. some of the guys bring their awesome massive ones that go under the diff...

Yeah I have my neighbours one in my shed, it's one of the big workshop jacks, but if there will be others there that ppl don't mind us using it may save the hassle, we are cruising from Newcastle

So the less we carry the better :P

And yeah, I reckon covering the seat is the go, too lazy to remove it!

Yeah stockies are pretty skinny... The 17s super fugly rims might fit.... Trial and error I guess.... Anything else really needed on the day? Or just turn up and make an ass of myself?

Women! 4 in the back seat 265's, 2 in the boot and toolbox in the passengers seat.

Spend half the day changing tyres cause u kill them every 2 runs: annoying as f**k

But worth it :P I can't wait!!

Have a good breakfast, we have bbq for lunch. Also a few of the regulars go to dinner after at a local steak place, you're welcome to come along - we start eating about 6pm and finish by 8pm so you'll be getting home a bit later but it's totally your call. That goes for anyone really, any club members come along and budget $50 for food and a drink or two

Bring a hat and sunscreen if you're prone to sunburn. Other than that - just turn up and don't be afraid to ask questions if you aren't sure what to do. It's very straightforward in the morning though; get there with time to spare, find a spot for your stuff, empty the car out and put the wheels on you want to use, then join the line for scruitineering and sign on (license check etc, bring club membership card), then go back to your spot and wait for drivers brief.

EDIT: Don't forget to bring the correct clothing for driving (long sleeves and enclosed shoes etc as in the supp regs)

4th gear synchro is too-ted and it also locks out of 2nd occasionally.... That and some strange noise intermittently.... There was a lot of metal on the plug last oil change :/

Only one thing to do about it really...

Skids!

    • 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/
