ill try and make it... if the car is back on the road by then, does anyone have a set of stock rims with rubber that i might be able to use for the cruise, i wont be a hoon and do burnout and stuff. just i gota buy new rims that are 1900 and dont have the money right now.

I can't be 100% but if my car is out of the shop and in a drivable condition (ie it could be out of rego and not yet engineered) I will be in.

Haven't had a chance to cruise with any SAUers yet :(

Just out of interest considering I don't live near Thornleigh will there be a sub-cruise coming from Sydney or Northern Beaches to the Thornleigh meeting spot I could tag along with?

give me a ride in the passenger seat pleeeaassseee - that way i can tag along with you from beaches > thornleigh - hehehe :)

wouldnt mind seeing how the ceffy goes either! oh, and i'll put in for fuel moneyyyyyy!

Ive never seen cops on that stretch before. Sometimes there is the Wisemans local cop cruising around the picninc area in his Land Cruiser but not on Old Northern. Not that i m saying we should be flooring it all the way there, just saying that people shouldn't worry about speed cameras, rbts and other random nuisances from the blues boys.

we're not staying on old northern... we'll be going through galston gorge to old northern... then jumping onto cattai ridge road... around past riverside oaks, then back onto old northern... just for more bends and a longer cruise... (i quite like cattai ridge rd! :) ).. so yeah.... i'll try and make a map to hand out to peeps so noone gets lost! :P

nope!!  its not a race...

Mona, everytime you drive, it's a race :)

Your car's accelerator pedal is a binary device. It's either "ON" or "FULLY SIK ON" :burnout:

Wow, a 3 hour cruise (one way)! I'd hope its a good drive at least D:

Re: the ferry, how many cars does it hold? It would suck to have to wait on the bank for the duration of one trip before ferry comes back for the rest of us D:

BTW, Ive never been there before so I have no clue what to expect :)

    • 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/
