G'day everyone!

As the title says, We're moving to melbourne soon! Bring on the beach and the big city :D

But i really need to sell the car to sort out financial woes.

I've dropped the price down to 14k because i really need it gone :(

Anyone interested?

Cheers.

Nar, I'm really looking forward to the change. All my life in canberra and the last 10 years at Ecowise, time for a change :)

I wish i could keep the Skyline but i just can't seem to find a way to do it.

Shell the macgregor house will be rented out, complete with party room. I'm leaving the pool table and everything down there all set up for the lucky tenants.

I'll have to grab the jumper pack some time.

Cheers Richard :)

@TM7GTR calm down, it was an honest mistake on my part, for some reason I thought he was moving to QLD not melb, and hence, for some reason, I thought he would pass by sydney and therefore i asked. I only realised this made no sense a while after though.

Well I've sold the Skyline.

Landed a great job in Melbourne.

Start my long service leave on the 19th Nov, and have my last day with Ecowise on the 16th.

Now we just need to find a house to rent in Melbourne!

Then move!!! :D

There are so many cheap rentals in Melbs... I was shocked when someone else was looking and people threw up ideas. Compared to what there seems to be on offer in Sydney!

Good luck for your search! Has Nic found a job or is she going to look once you get there? Or did she have a job before you, hence the move lol

Nic's studying masters there next year, sounds like a great UNI.

I scored a great job with SP Ausnet (The ActewAGL of canberra) installing and maintaining electrical meters on the west side.

We found a great place (but the landlord didn't want dogs) It was 5 mins walk to shops, train station and 7 min walk to the beach! awesome place for 330pw!

we just gotta keep applying until someone will let us move in with the dogs.

Anyone want to rent out my place for 500pw? It comes complete with pub!!!

    • 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/
