Last night i was driving home at round 1am where i see ***kin shitloads of cops and booze busses. If any of you were there this was HUGE. Looks like they were determinied on making some money :) and yes save lives cuz we all know drink driving is ***kin stupid. I tried to avoid it (obvious reasons, P-plater in a powerful car) but there was NO way out. Was so lucky he didnt pull me over and ask me to pop the hood otherwise i would have been ***ked. Didnt even ask for licence or anything, and i drove by thinking, "damn i was lucky"

Anyone else see?

I live not very far frm that area, they have done the same setup in the past. Last year when they did one I think they got 25 drivers over the limit, 6 expired rego's, and one stolen vehicle.........so they would haul it in.

And your right, there is no way out, your screwed which ever way you go.

Yeah, was driving down princes hwy with a few other cars and saw the booze bus ahead of me, looked to each side going across the intersection and the busses were everywhere... there was no way out!

Though it was good to see the cops were trying to get the drunks off the road and not hassle us when going through the booze busses.

I got stopped. I live near there. That intersection has more fatalities than any other in Victoria IIRC. My sister and I nearly got killed by some dumb****s that ran a red :madfark:

I got nothing against booze buses and I hope they book every mother ****er over the limit.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      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).
