Big thanks to Chris B for organising :thumbsup: We had a blast!!

Was a really good turnout and was great to finally meet some fellow Stag owners and put faces to avatars!!

My wife was in charge of the camera the whole day and took some great shots which I'll post up soon.

But yeah, was a great day out!!

I wish I had a video of all of us pulling out from the Maroondah Dam Carpark... a symphony of turbo spool-up "Pffffffffft...."

:thanks:

any idea who the person in the maroon wagon with the roof-mounted camera half way up the spur was?

I ran into into him at Cumberland Junction. He was with a group of BMW guys and lost them (he was the one that told me you guys were going through Reefton Spur when I lost you guys)... As I was cruising through the Spur, he caught up to and we basically "spiritedly drove" all the way to Warburton when we got stuck behind a crappy Alto and other cars...

Hopefully he's on the forum and hope that GoPro was on going through the Spur

What is it with c34's getting 'lost' Jase? :P

Sorry, there was bugger all stopping room anywhere, and I was having way too much fun. :woot:

I was thinking the same thing Scotty... What ever happened to all the C34's. I'm just glad I came prepared with a full tank and managed to keep up with you :P

First time the Blue Monster has stretched its legs since I've had it, man was it fun... All stock too (I will admit the tyres look a little worse for 'wear' now though).

Well it's been a long time I've driven the Spur (Black and Reefton)...and first time driving in my car through (been through there on a bike)...I know there's not much places to stop but it's cool, I had my own fun...lol.

But where did the rest of them go??

Little blue Alto with a grey haired fella driving....hd pulled over and let us through...

Might be a different one....basically Sunday driving from outside East Warbuton all the way to Millgrove...when it got behind a Land Rover also Sunday Driving....

As soon we got to a spot were we could overtake...the Maroon C34, myself and two guys on bikes blew past them

    • 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/
