Hi

A couple of guys have asked quickest way from the City. I do the run every day and it won't be fast, but best is same as God_Speed has suggested, but don't go on M4. From Gipps St go Concord Rd, Wellbank St, Pomeroy St, Underwood Rd, Australia Ave, Bennelong Parkway, Hill Rd, Holker St.

It's more complicated but definitely quicker at that time of day.

If you want a map of where we are on Holker Street just email me at [email protected] We are the driveway off Holker Street about 100m to the west of the main entrance to Silverwater Jail, but on the opposite side of the road. Directly opposite the large white oil tanks.

Cheers

Andy

In the back of my mind I thought cutting through Olympic Park might have been an option but I wasn't completely sure. Thanks Andy that's good to know!

Looking forward to tonight. Hope the demo cars for the vinyl wrapping don't need to be spotless as the forecast is for some showers later today.

Also I have some carbon parts left from my group buy, anyone who want to take a look at them or possibly buy them tonight, let me know!

RB25 Cam Cover

RB25 Coilpack cover

R34 weathershields

R34 GTT Cooling panel

R34 eye lids (left has minor crack)

Hi All,

Please check your name on the list for member status. If you have recently become a member and there is not a M next to your name, I need to know.

Personally I have avoided cleaning the Stag recently with the excuse I will learn to do it properly.... that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

@matt i cleaned my car twice on the weekend and kept it under the cover until today, parked in a carpark. I will bang my head on a wall if this is all spoilt by rain on the way.

Hope you can get out of work early and get out there faster then mate. Radar doesn't look at all bad at the moment though

Same! haha

its been dirty since i attended a motorkhana day 3 weeks ago

but all the rain we've been getting lately, semi cleaned it lol

is it possible to do some shopping before hand as i have to leave around 830 so will miss out on the HOK wrap & shopping at the end :(

Cant make it tonight. Sorry for late notice.

Im stuck at work on a shutdown still and doesnt look like i will finish any time soon.

More overtime means more gate??

That's a damned shame, mate. I even lined up a shopping trolley just for you!

BTW people, this map points out Holker Street, but the Megiuars/MotorActive workshop is on the OTHER side of Silverwater Road, not where the "A" waypoint is on that map... If you're coming from Silverwater Road, you have to head in the direction of Olympic Park and the Jail, then turn right into the estate.

I'm completely confused now....

Edit: never mind just typed in 35 Slough Business Park, Holker St Silverwater into google maps and now know where it is.... I think...

"GTR_77", you're in if you see this!

If entry is via Holker St, then I would assume it is the patch of concrete to the RIGHT of the picture, which is out of the picture/to the right of the patch of grass on the right of point B.

Corrections welcome. That's where I'm driving anyway. hahahah

    • 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/
