Ok, so the other day, I was listening to the radio at work, it happened to be nova, they had their best of CD in again. So the boss went out, I changed it to B105, as thats all it was picking up, and well, they must of had their best of CD in as well.

Then on the way home, when I didnt have the cefiro for a few week, I had triple J on, not to as much of an extent, but I think at the time they had all the hottest 100 cds in the stacker on shuffle.

So what I would like EVERYONE to do, is email their favorite radio station, maybe with a link to this for the people who choose not to email their fave station. And what I would like you to do, is to DARE them, not ask but DARE them to not play the same song for a 48 hour peirod. By same song I mean, I dont want to hear 20 differnet remixes of the same song. 48 hours of different songs.

I think it would be REALLY easy for the radio stations, I have about 25days worth of music, and well put bluntly, I just dont have that much vairety! I know these radio stations do.

So easy, email radio station, DARE THEM TO NOT PLAY THE SAME SONG FOR 48 HOURS! I dont think they will do it.

contact details...

b105 http://www.b105.com.au/contact/index.php

nova http://www.nova1069.com.au/onAir/Contact.aspx

Just a suggestion with nova, CC the general manager as well.

Triple M http://www.triplemrocks.com.au/admin/contact/index.php

Triple J http://abc.net.au/triplej/contact/default.htm

Altho triple J isnt as bad, they are national, so we might have to really pound them. Also maybe email the hack show there too, they dont always seem triple J bias.

didnt b105 do this for a while? it wasnt for 48hours but for 24hours they wouldnt play the same song, or if they did and someone noticed they would get a free cd whoever called it in

No idea. But they wouldnt want to give away only 1 cd. So they would have repeated the songs a fair bit anyway. Really I dont want to hear the same song ever in a 24 hour day on the radio.

Dont put a brick wall up, just email them damn it.

comercial radio is crap.  they'll play one CD to death then change it to another.  it's how the CD publishers want it.  the whole of comercial radio is ad's.  not just the breaks.

Yes I know, its called payola by some. Just send off the emails please! Do your bit!

For the people not being constructive, go away.

For the people like me who have to put up with this at work because the boss says so, then goes out, and gets narky when the station gets changed. Just send the bloody email please. Its not that hard. I got a few emails back today, so give it another month or so I might annoy them enough.

One even said they have never been dared not play the same song, so the idea IS working.

Just a bit of support, come on!

      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 🙂

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
