thought you would col good work

Hey can you delete the thread I made in the QLD section. I put there by mistake

Beat you too it... :)

I cant wait, i was only saying last night to mates at drinks that we need to get out to willowbank asap...

Their responce was well it would have to be a saturday (as they all would have a hard time getting to a wednesday night)...

So i just suggested this date to them like and hour ago and bam here it is...

SAU TNT... Yeah...

if I have my stuff sorted by then im keen

Of course you will Ian...

Even if you dont it would not hurt to get a base line run before you go on the modification trail...

In at this stage!

YEAH... Let Anna have a run too, i let Renee have a run in my car back in July last year... She was a second slower than me, but i smoked the clutch before letting her have a go... >_<

So she did very well to be honest...

she can run the R33 ;)

I will be too busy trying to get running the R32 down to miss out on track time! Once I nail the 12.5 she may be able to have a turn but :laugh:

If I can find some rims and gumballs for the rear by then I will definitely be in. >_<

Dont worry about it... Just run your street rubber...

It then gives you a good base line to run off when your talking about how fast your car is...

Im just gonna run my daily rubber...

Well I aint. the rubber you guys are calling standard and what I am wearing are 2 different things. >_<

What does that mean???

Forgive me, but i dont understand... Are you saying your rear tyres are worn out already...?

What you been up too in the last 48hours hey? ;)

    • 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/
