Not your marks are they Ewen?

One shot i though may look real good would be down by the lake at dusk, (when the horizon is reddish) looking across the lake to parli house, with all the cars lined up in the foreground, if that makes any sense?

Another possible location:lined up somewhere along Anzac Parade(the long,often-used-as-illegal-dragstrip road running down from the War Memorial to Parkes Way)?Shoot photies in both directions,depending on light-towards the Memorial and Mt. Ainslie,or towards new and old Bulls#*t Places...err...Parliament Houses.Or lined up outside the fence next to the Airport(the road that goes out to Qbn.,not the "long shot" from Majura Rd) as planes fly in/out?At the old disused dragstrip?Natex/E.P.I.C. somewhere?Ah,the possibilities...

what have you changed on your interior terminal?

yeah mine wont be painted either, so its a cracked front bar for me.

i cant wait!! never thought we'd have such huge interest either, great to see!!!!

not sure what to do about bbq meat? how bout everyone just brings what they want?

i think ewans taking care of bbqing stuff though???

Don't want to turn it into a circus, but here's some suggestions:

A 'Prank' gold coin bucket [for donations towards this forum].

SAU membership forms handy [might sign someone up???].

Bit short notice, but maybe a small add in the Canberra Times 'cars for sale' if there is a next time, not everyone is an SAU/internet member/user.

Sponsorship from some of the import businesses would pay for some of this, $10-20 from four or five businesses adds up [you'd probably get your BBQ meat for free].

I don't necessarily agree with all these suggestions [i'm a KISS fan, keep it simple stupid], but they are a start, others may think of more or better or simpler.

    • 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/
