didi you get any good video??

yes indeed we got good video... until the point where that R32 GT-R was getting loose, and then boosted off... stans tyres werent up to the job of hauling the 'line around the corners uphill! :)

stan, i want a copy of that video! either digitise it at my place - or burn me a copy! :)

Anyway I have to say that I nearly didn't go on the cruise!

Everyone went up the F3 except for me and I didn't know who I was meant to follow.

I ended up going up through Hornsby/Asquith/Mt Colah on the Pac Hwy and I was hollering "anybody out there?!" on the CB all the way. Luckily somebody answered near the Berowra exit and I met up with you guys.

Thanks to menthu for hooking me up with the CB. Saved my arse today. Still, next time I need to get some mobile numbers just in case the CB is out of range. :)

siksII get a cb, we were trying to communicate :)

hey silver, wat did the coppa do u for?

Hey mate, i would barely use one so i have refused to buy one, a close friend of mine knows this so he bought two so he can force me to use it when we go cruising, he was not there this time = no cb for me! ehe

so maybe next time, although you could have screamed out the window at me :)

:) sorry silver..

CB came in handy.. next time we goto get everyone together before we leave and say "we are going up the freeway, turn off at berowra and we'll regroup there"..

was a bit hectic doing some good old.. should we go this way.. should we go that.. than having to cut through traffic.. always fun.. with mintie coming up the rear :)

    • 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/
