Dropping the car into Pitlane Performance tonight, gotta get a couple things fixed up. Spoke to Simon, was more than happy for me to drop it off at around 6pm, then stay to have a look! Good to have some workshop flexibility in the north!

Just came from there now, get Simon to take you for a spin in his RB30DET powered R33 if he's still got it..... All I'm going to say is HOLY FARK!!!! :P

Nice 1 Ruby. Enjoy :P

ruby what type of rims u looking for. possibly getting new rims for my ride soon, so the TE37's will be for sale. totally immaculate.

17s or 18s ... for cheaper rubber. Ideally, I'm looking to swap the 19" Impuls for something similar or whatever will suit the white 33. PM me so the Mods don't get too upset about a FS discussion in Wasteland.

ewwwww impuls with 0 dish ;)

cant be any worse than rjr rims though :kiss:

and yes, i can tease, beacause i used to have fail spec rims.

:P I was about to point that out too. :D

Meh, I still like em ... but I am holding out for Ben's GTR rims ;) C'mon Grim!

I have no defense for the Impuls ... they came with the car and I am getting rid of them. I do like them, but its just too big and zero dish/minor lip. At least the RJR rims have some lip.

lol this might help....its always useful/helpful if your work is willing to allow you to use their letter head

* you need your license for your work and without it you cannot go to work because of odd hours of work

* you have learnt your lesson in doing whatever you were caught doing so man times

* you will never commit those offenses again

Good luck mitch

    • 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/
