Ok Update time!

At long last, me and a few mates installed my coilovers for the SAU Track Day at Wakefield Park, G4 Racing Street Spec with height and damper adjustments The Handling has improved heaps without compromising the ride too much. Best mod to my Skyline yet! My lap times at Wakefield have gone down to 1:18.6 Pics of wakefield to come

hey man- nice 33 4door i have the same model in dark blue-green cameleon (spelling). just had competition spec springs and shocks put on, and its only about than 1/2 inch higher than what could have been achieved with overcoil- so think about whether its worth the extra grand or so before you go all out- being a show car and not for drift i didnt need it- neway man nice wheels so far and im sure u'll think of plenty of things to keep it different! peace

Its certainly coming together. You have to be happy with the night time pics over the harbour, looks great.

If I ever do another road trip to Sydney I might have to drop you a line and organise some pics. :P

Thanks Jason, shes actually up for sale now :thumbsup: I know i'll kick myself when it sells, its such a great car.

For sure if u are ever in Sydney i'd love to do it. I'm actually heading to the gold coast in October for indy but my car is staying home if it doesnt sell by then.

Since you enjoyed the pics from the harbour, heres somemore with the car lowered.

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • 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).
