hey all, im also in mackay, have a r33 s1 gtst black , currently in the processing of respraying, just sanding it back atm

callan, seen your skyline driving around, must say nice skyline bud

Hi There

I have been in mackay for friggin ages, have owned a few skylines in my time. Currently own a R33 GTR and My lil brother Matt owns a R32 GTR N1, you will see us at the strip quite a bit this year as we will be trying to get as much seat time as possible for the Jamboree in August. Aiming for a 8sec pass on Street Radials, but should do a low 9sec quite comfortably. Both Cars should be on the road in a couple of months, looking forward to doing some cruises with you guys through out the year.

Hells yeah, that would be awesome. I've seen you car around a few times... It's visual Porn. You've got a great car, lad. When Palmyra is dried up (In the next few weeks? Haha) give us a yell on here if you're going to the TnT and I'll make sure I'll be down to watch you.

Thanks mate yeah wont be dragging the r33 anytime soon lol let me rephrase that my lil bro wont be dragging it as he broke my gearbox. Its still pulled apart and gotta take it to brissy for a tune 400-450rwkw hopefully. R32 will be getting dragged religously but.

It'll never dry out lol

No way, I'm not wasting my last day of holidays doing that lol.... Did you end up getting your power window module fix? Mines playing up so might pull it apart and re-solder if it looks dodgy. Id say thats all thats wrong with yours as well

Hey my power window on the drivers side is playing up aswell i think its just the contacts in it, does anyone know if we are gonna organise some imports vs V8 nights at the drags this year would like to try tee something up it would be kickass!!!!

I'm keen for a drag when my new wheels get here, but I'll race anything, I just want to see what time I can get.

As for the drivers side window thing, theres a thread in the DIY section I'm pretty sure on how to fix it, Im gonna give it a go soon, was gonna do it a while ago but opened the box for my power window up and everything looked good. Supposedly only takes about 5 mins and a bit of new solder

Took some photos of my engine bay today..... a good camera and some lighting really shows up how dirty it is :( lol

Give me a call when you do yours, Cal and I'll head over to your place with mine and see if that works... Slack to fork out $250 if it just needs new solder. :)

I demand a rematch on GT5... I regeared the shit out of my R33 GTR. I want my redemption!

Airlie sounds good (and is better then halfway) lol

Rob: you were useless :P I'll get my carbon R out for a rematch lol. Yeah I might get keen to play with electrics this weekend. Bring your black box and I'll see if there's any noticable dry solder.

    • 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/
