I currently trying to negotiate a way out of spending a couple of weeks in Kalbarri just because the whole fkn town seems to be a "great place to go camping"
which I read as "a shithouse place to anything even remotely civilised"


Bloody nice place but I wouldn’t spend a couple of weeks there!

My first 14000 ft tandem jump skydiving
Thanks mate:-( should have the car fixed by Australia day. Found my rattle near the turbo, another snapped stud on the bottom of the exhaust manifold. The manifold face is warped so will get it machined sand blasted and paint it. Replace gaskets and all new studs. Work has gone through the roof so hopefully I can sort it in time:-) Time poor atm.

Apart from sharing ablutions our camping is quite luxurious. Got the van pumped out with all the necessities. Also a good way to get everyone off their phones [emoji338]
Been working in a train for the last week on site. Rail grinding car. You know with the exhausts and mufflers as a after thought. Made this for the exhaust outlet off a critical dB puck muffler. Concentric 180* Y piece. 10" nominal to 8" outlets. Just fitted with enough room for blankets and anti-vibration mounts. DSC_0161_5.JPGDSC_0163.JPGDSC_0162_2.JPG

Eewwwwwwww I can’t squat and I don’t do bush toilet -
Clearly I can’t do [emoji554]️ ?
Haha, I remember being in the Cape range national park with dad when I was 10. After net fishing off Cape croyderin. Seen the first actual dunny for weeks went in there so relived then there was a rumble under the ground the instant I cracked the poo. About a thousand flies that hadn't seen a fresh one in months flew up out of the hole and attacked the Virgin anus. Ran to the inland salt flat undies off and washed the anus. Scary:-o

We used to have the old fold out chair but with a dunny seat on it that clipped in. Over the hill out of sight, the old bayonet/shovel arrangement. Loosen the dirt/crust with bayonet. Undo the nut, turn over to shovel, Dig hole, check for Rolf Harris in bushes, do poo, B.C.Fing Fun. Washing in the ocean and creeks. Me Dad uncle Reg and Les, No fear. No shame. Every coastline around Australia and even Tasmania. Xa falcon, 4wd L300, then gq patrol. There used to be a sand bar off red bluff beach in Kalbarri that made for insane fishing. They had pictures of the old man with a massive shark he caught in the red bluff beach caravan park office. Took him 4hrs to reel it in back in the late 70's. I remember going out in the boat dad built in dire conditions hiding under the hull shitting myself in a life jacket to pick up uncle reg's Cray pots when I was 9yrs old. Madness. I certainly don't remember red bluff beach Kalbarri as being boring Martin.:-o

Nice, I never said boring just that I wouldn’t spend 2 weeks there, it’s a great place I just like to keep moving and see all kinds of things, I’m not a fisherman I fact I hate being on boats

Me too, I would never put the family through dad's adventures. I think the divorce would come through earlier than the death notices, I suppose it's a tourist destination now. Oh we went to Bali for holidays, Wow, my dad nearly killed me. good times when you look back. Staying on uncharted islands off the coast. Running aground out of tide walking through stone fish infested rivers. Ballooning off steep point. Net fishing off Cape croyderin. Fly fishing in Tasmania. Towing boats and freezers with generators selling fish. Dropping Cray pots in south Australia, fishing off the great Australian bight. Even Walpole f**k it!
No fish let's take the zodiac out in the ocean at 78yrs of age.:-o

    • 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/
