So who is good with tuning and problem solving Skylines in Mackay or the surrounding area that will touch a Microtech?

pm mafia as he knows most of the tuners in town and can point you in the right direction.

Hey,

Iam also another import owner flying the flag for mackay :) .. didn't realise there were this many up here as you don't see them very often on the road..lol..

hi are you the white r34 v spec? i only ask as the name you have looks familure like a number plate.

Yeah thats me white r34 GTR but it's not a v-spec..

ahh, ok i thought i had seen your car befor, very nice!!!! as you can see from the thred i am a keen strip racer would be good to see you there haven a go but not in the car park like last time i had seen your car, dont know why but most people on this thred dont reply except (mafia) so good luck with that :)

Thankyou.. Yeah i will take it down the strip one day but at the moment iam still finnishing it off. Iam more in it for the cruz around than the strip, hence why it was only in the carpark. however i love to go out and see what mackay has to offer on the strip.. My mate took his out on the weekend nur33 went ok from what i hear.. did you run?

Cheers Matt

yea i was there, had a bad night for racing, so not much to say there. i did have a look at your mates car though was it the one with all the carbon fiber stuff? there was two gtr's nur33 i think was one and the other one was the white one though. i think your mate did a best of 12.3 or something like that, but was being nice on the launch from what i had seen. i on the other hand removed all of the wieght i put in the rear and had my rear tyers rotated as they where worn out, stupid idea's as i had no down force on the rear tyers from the water bottles and now even less tyer surface area so all that equaled SLOW! although i did do that green/blue 427 supercharged xr8 ute over in my first run so was happy with that. need slicks big time as it hard to get traction in a gtst. and i have been getting adrenalin to do my tuning so far-so good but when im ready for a more stressing tune ill be speaking to mafia (john) to tune my car again. what cu will you be running?

Ah yeah there is alot to be said for good tyres lol.. yeah thats him purple one

Iam running a power FC-Dejetro.. I gotta go to bris soon so i will prob get mark at godzilla to tune it for me.

yea i have heard of them should be good to see what the result's are, i managed to pick up a new set of mickey thompson et's on the weekend for a great price, this way i can shoot for the high to mid 11's instead of times all over the place. that nur33 is a nice car as well he has spent some money on that machine! will be great to see it on full throttle :blink:

Hey boys.

I've been watching your chat. Good to hear people are still driving these things.

I just dropped a RB25\30DET into mine. Its done 700kms. Cranked the powerfc right up, she's making good power now. Been spending a bit of time tuning it, but getting there, Hard to tune when driving on your own haha.

I'll be keen to race a few of you too.

Good to hear from you all.

Jono

Bit of a long shot but does anyone have a LHS rear drive shaft for an R33 (5 bolt pattern)

Ive broken mine and have had a bit of a mixed up week trying to get another one. Have a new one coming on tuesday but would like to get it going this weekend and use the one I get tuesday as a spare

Let me know via PM If you can help

Thanks

Callan

    • 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/
