Hi people, just wanting to hear peoples thoughts on High Octane coatings. I have used Competition Coatings, HPC, Jet Hot in the past and have my thoughts on the respective pros and cons of them....I have not used High Octane coatings in the past.

Anyone used their black manifold/turbine housing coating and can speak to its durability?

My own experience has HPC the best for quality and durability...no surprise they are they most expensive. Competition Coatings and Jet Hot about the same, with perhaps Jet Hot being a tad more durable but less range of colours and finishes.

I've used Techline ceramic coatings on my manifolds and turbine housings on 2 of my cars. Coatings are inside and out of the manifolds and turbine housings.

I've proven the coatings hold up to sustained heat around 850 degrees no problems. Looks good too. I don't know who of the companies you mentioned use the techline products, but the key is in the application. I have an aluminium oxide/ceramic base under the black TurboX coating.

Competition Coatings did a set of CP pistons for me in one of my other engines. The finish looked great. Never produced any performance data with that engine though. Changed the recipe before getting that far.

I used a local ceramic coating a few years back. The ceramic held up but i swear the black that i paid extra for was just heat proof paint. After tuning on the dyno the black was peeling off from the collector.

ive used competition coating for my manifold and turbine housing, the high temp black one,

seems to have reduced my coolant temperature a fair bit , could be the larger turbo contributing though, seems ok so far.. not fancy to look at though, just faded black looking..

craved coatings did mine too, after a couple of dyno pulls the exhaust housing was measuring 300c on the surface (manifold and housing ceramic coated a cast iron/gunmetal grey colour inside and out)

competition coatings did both my manifolds, both sides of my turbo, cooler piping, TB and dump pipe.... looks sick and works really well... Ive got a few lines which are really close to my dump pipe and im so supprised that they havnt melted... without the coating im sure they would have.

All encouraging, but how long have you been running the manifold, turbine housing coatings. This ca is driven around 1000kms a month and does some sustained wide open throttle stuff so will get plenty of heat in it doing some fun days at the track. I have decided will be givign Comp Coating a go in Coburg and see how they go

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
