Wooow, sounds like a big event. It's time for me to get in....before I expire...hehehehe. I AM IN. Will be my first track day and also my first even with SAU (only took 2 years..heheheh) Car is ready....day is perfect.

Excuse the silly questions...do you need a helmet? (never understood this helmet business, hate motorbikes). I hope I will have my CAMS license by than. A second question, do you need different tires or you can run on the road ones? 3rd Can you remove silencer from the muffler? (Mavrick wanna BUZZ the tower)

Well see you guys there....I'll take "1HYPE1" with me....heheheheeh

1. yep you'll need a helmet, motorbike helmets are mostly used and need to be Australia Approved.

2. you can run street tyres, alot of people do, or if u can afford it u can put on some semis for the day.

3. not too sure about the rules for that, havent been to a circuit track day but with the helmet its pretty much consistant with all the other types of track days

Purchase. They can get as cheap as $100 I think, maybe even $80.

Check this thread for SAU club member discount on helmets. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119575

Cheers Adam. I thought it was going to cost me an arm and a leg but around the $100 seems very reasonable... and much better than wearing a grubby hire helmet.

Well I better get organized...I think if I could afford my car...helmet will be no problem. I hope they do not ask also for a harley..hehehhe

Adam...just wondering that yelow-black 180 or 200 SX whatever was (Ben I think was his name) did had any exhaust system of the drift day? To me sounded pretty loose....

Cheers,

EUG.

That was James, I think he had a straight through pipe. The point is that the exhaust has to exit outside the car. You can't just dump it out somewhere half way along the length of the car.

Also I guess cos he was an organiser he got away with it a bit.

Mate,

Silencer in screwed at exit. You pull one bolt and BINGO....all exhaust is there...becomes..straight. I thought you know all this by now.....sorry.... My exhaust is BLITZ 3" all the way. Cat is there, just unleash few horses.

    • 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/
