Hey all, Just wondering if anyone heard about the accident on the Clyde on monday? Heard second hand that a truck lost their brakes and cleaned up a skyline coming up the opposite direction..... Really hope it wasn't anyone on SAU (shame it happened to anyone at all though), cos apparently the guys legs looked like they couldn't be saved... total write off.

My condolences if anyone knew them.

ok... your all wrong...

I was coming back from the coast on Monday and this is what happened... (get comfy)

round 10:30 - 11am a truck that was coming down the clyde, further down the hill from the Steeper bits... came to fast around one of the corners (if anyone knows much about the coast road..its the long hill with the overtaking lane all the way up it...) which happened to be wet.. and took out a 4X4 which then also took out another 4X4 with a caravan attached which then a Camry then came and took them out. Im pretty sure thats the order.. Not much left of the camry... saw 1 4X4 with the caravan... it wasnt too bad, but now its towing a pile of sh!t behind it which some people say was a caravan.. and not sure about the other 4X4..

oh and the truck... lil smashed at the front, with a massive toe out on the drivers wheel.

The road was closed from 11am til 6pm that night..

There you have it... no skylines involved. Thank god. but, sadly enough there were 3 other cars involved.

Not sure what happened to drivers or passangers, but 1 4X4 driver was Helicoptered to hospital straight away after being cut out

    • 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/
