I have to go to the pool at least 3 times a week for the back. I normally do excersize and stretches in the hot hydro pool then go to the 25m pool for walking and swimming laps. I've got dodgy knees too and if I walk too much in the pool they ache real bad but it's only Austio arthritis. I was in and out of physiotherapy for years and just pissed it all off did a load of research and found a balance that works good for me. What is the main problem with the knees?

A few of my mates I played footy with had Osgood/slaters and it finished them. After over 200 games of footy I wish I'd never played but I loved it alot. Football is my family's religion! But I've lost interest over the last few years. Not as hardcore as t-revs with his West coast Eagles engine bay!
Yeah not bad. How was the drive home car still good and did ya hav3le a grin going home thinking I got a 12 sec car

Hey Dean I found a awesomeness little R35 on Gumtree for the boy. Would post the link if I knew how. Have you got any of the r/c's up and running?

DSC_0348.JPGDSC_0347.JPGthe earlier time was the faster. Dropped it to 30 psi all round today. Do you think the duramax 75-90 is the right oil for the diff? It was juddering bad when I changed it then came good with the l.s.d. Paste and figure of 8's? The tein basics have only height adjustment and the ride is hard as since I lifted I't?

Track temp definatly didnt help, colder it gets the less sticky it becomes and less traction u get. Same principle when its too hot.

Diff oil sounds about right, was the old oil burnt? Id day that the shock from spinning the tyres to it gripping proberly caused it to tighten up through heat. New oil and a some maneuvering always helps.

Ur shocks are gonna have more travel due to increased hight, more fluid to move bk and forth within its stroke which will make it feel harder

Hmm makes sense, that's what I was thinking too much extension and not enough compression in the shocks which would coincide with the longer travel and higher spring rate. When you gradually build up the boost and launch it sweet on the street is the only time you notice it. The old diff oil was clean as. I was also thinking due to getting cold between runs that it was at its minimum viscosity but the thinner the oil it should make its way into clutch packs better?

I watched footy in high school and early twenties. Now I despise it. I'd rather watch netball or lawn bowls

    • 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/
