I'm sure you guys will love this night.

Detailing is also a great passion of mine, I just started a new thread in the detailing section of the forum - so stick your results in there when you get home and put your new skills to work.

Cheers.

Hi Everyone,

Thought it would be good to start a thread where everyone can post up pictures of their detailing results.

To kick off, here's a 50/50 from the bonnet of an MX5 I restored over the weekend.

Cheers.

Great to see we have a full house for the tech night and as a club member, looking forward to hosting the event. Thanks Terry for coordinating everything. BTW the satellite image is a bit off. We're on the far right of the image (outside the circle), unit 35.

Currently flat out organising the Bathurst 12 hour with our Liqui Moly brand. If you're looking for something to do Feb 8-10 check this out (Facebook Bathurst 12 hour). It's gonna be a blast!

Cheers

Andy

So glad to have "Meguiar's" in partnership with SAU again Andy! :3some:

Many of us still remember Meguiar's acting as a sponsor of SAU's R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary in 2010. :yes:

Along with Jim Richards (who signed Award Certificates), Terry Ashwood, Nissan Aust (East Coast), Daily Telegraph (with NISMO's R32 GT-R N1 as Cover Story), Just Jap, Top Secret Imports, Autocult.net, Motive DVD, Performance Imports Magazine - Meguiar's with their generous gifts made that Event about the biggest there has ever been!

I've done little - we on the Executive just love to have a good time - and furthermore, watch fellow Members have a better time. :wub:

Thanks Terry, looking forward to it.

As part of the night we are planning to wrap 2 car bonnets in 3M Designer wrap so we're looking for 2 volunteer vehicles for 2 lucky participants. I'll leave it to you to coordinate if that's OK (LOL should be fun!). We have a great range of colours/textures. Check out at www.designerwraps.com.au

Probably best if the 2 guys contact me at MotorActive and we can just check the bonnets are suitable. As we only have 1 hour per car we can't do a complex aftermarket bonnet with scoops/fins etc.

Cheers

Andy

Well there you have it guys!

Andy the manager of Meguiar's has spoken!

He's sprung a surprise by offering a panel to be given a professional 'wrap' treatment and that's for not 1, but 2 volunteers :)

PM me as well as Phone Andy at MotorActive at Silverwater to discuss you volunteering your car and the panel suitability. You can discuss what texture and colour with Andy too - since there's a multitude to select from!

Owen aka cpd already has his car available to have oxidation and scratches removed on the night. So we need 2 more as stated above for a panel wrap!

Latest News:-

* cpd is a volunteer to have panel scratches/swirls removed

* darksky34 is a volunteer for a bonnet wrap > approved

* One more volunteer required - a member - who'd like his bonnet professionally wrapped ???

Many Thanks to Andy Spira - Meguiar's Mngr

and Matt Bowen Meguiar's spokesman on the night :)

    • 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/
