any chance you guys can organise this on the 15th-20th of april cause i really want to go for the targa and see the R35 in action

Good idea. Main issue for me will be funds, cant say yay or nay anytime soon.

I want to go to Tassie to drive, not to spectate :)

so your telling me you would'nt want to catch a glimpse of the first 35 in the country in action??? :rolleyes:

it was just an idea man so if it goes ahead i'll be in 100%

Watching a 1800kg pink thing with an automatic gearbox or blasting around new race tracks in my car ?? LOL my car is a bucket but i would rather be driving it then watching a god awful R35 :rolleyes:

We are having a meeting next Friday afternoon to confirm the SAU motorsport calender for the year. Once this is finalised we will be confirming dates for this trip.

IT IS STILL GOING AHEAD!!! We just need to look at the dates as the calender is already pretty busy with Circuit Sprints, Drag Days, DECA and the addition of a few hill climbs.

GREAT!! Sounds like another awesome year! Hopefully my car will be on the road for most of it :rolleyes:

I didn't say it was bad or anything.

But if i am going to spend $2000+ for a week in Tassie, i would much rather spend it driving the roads, instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting all day for a 2sec glimpse at the R35 GTR.

Even though i would really love to do Targa (highly unlikely), i can not justify spending all that money just to spectate :)

The R35 will be around soon enough, i can wait till the time comes where i see, feel, and admire the 35GTR at my own pace

i agree but for people like me that dont quite have a track car yet watching the "pink thing" is still exiting especially when that pink thing happens to be the most powerful production car to come out of japan

Best track car is your near std road car. Nothing ever breaks on them :( You only start calling it a track car when it becomes an unreliable POS because you have way too many mods :D

But in case ppl havent picked up on it yet, the Feb date is likely to change simply because the difficulty with releasing the events calender this year.

well if you really feel that way, passenger laps are always GREAT!!

yeh i've been with ant on passenger laps at calder man that was the most fun i've had in a skyline so far (yes and that includes the back seat) thanks again ant :rolleyes:

sorry for the off topic guys.

    • 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/
