ill see most of you there....where are we meeting up again??? i couldnt see anywhere that we are going to catch up. hope the cops arent to bad on the weekend...it will be a slow cruise down.

Yeha hope theres not too many cops around. I was hoping to have my new rears this week, but that ain't happening, so I reckon I'll be taking it easy anyway.

I wave to any line I see too, and especially to the identical Wine Red one getting around!

I don't get many waves back either, sometimes I think it's cause some people think they're too good for it, but I have a theory that it may be because of the dark tint we all have! :headspin:

Maybe it'll be better once we meet each other eh :rofl:

Hey guys, i'm from newy too.....well lake maquarie. I'll prob come in on mon as well.

anyone up for a cruise down to the central coast on the 15th of May?

we could drive down to the haven via swansie way

Hey guys, having some problems with mis-firing lately.

This topic has people with exactly the same problem as me:

Wondering if any of you guys could show me how to fix this cause im no backyard mechanic :P

I had this same problem, it was easy to do. It was just a matter of undoing whatever is in the way of taking of the cover to reveal the coil packs. Then taking out each coil pack and taping it up. Once you start undoing things you will get the idea. And if you are worried take a few pics as you are doing it so you remember what goes where. Hope this helps :)

hey SATO_GTS, havent seen u since drift nats at oran park last year, hows the 31? havent seen it round for a while now. must be going good by now.

Another Newy skyliner... Well I'm moving to Manly next week but I'll be back in Newy on weekends.

Gota white r33 GTS-t, Gold dished rims, UH OHH plates, Stealth boot wing. *I've seen a clone of my car in newy!, who's that!?*

Haven't been cruising in bloody ages.. been so busy with new job & having no money *for excessive petrol use* from living in Syd during week... Gezzz I’m getting real sick of paying $1.20 - $1.25 *BP Ultimate* every time I fill up… errrrr :S

Hey Guys - went for a cruise today around 4pm to foreshore and meet Dean. Top bloke! And saw another bloke with a schmick White R33 yell out to me, and a R33 GTR wth gold mags too. So hope all you blokes can make it tomorrow too.

Speaking of tomorrow, i fear the foreshore will be closed for ANZAC celebreations, so Dean and I thought it would be best to meet at Bar Beach carpark, that way everyone will have no troubles parking etc.

So hope to meet ya all, around 3:30pm tomorrow at Bar Beach carpark :rofl:

yeh i heard there was a bike race or something going on over sun + mon. was gonna suggest bar beach carpark... besides, if the forshore is open, there will be dicks galore down there as usual.... the forshore has gotten pretty lame over the years.

will be there, so will the 180.

Yea Mark that is probably me, im from Thornton.

Anyway. Today was a great day. Was good to see some faces and meet some new people.

A few guys had some cameras so I expect some pics will be uploaded soon.

There were about 12 cars that showed up and 9 of us went for a cruise to spears point. Looked heaps good.

Untill next time. Have fun!

yeh, it was a good day...very enjoyable. took heaps of photos. so ill post em later...bit tired at the moment.

the cars started going from rice boxes to hiluxs around the turnoff to maitland on the freeway...back home again! :)

cheers

    • 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/
