Saw parts of the first episode on friday night - lots of heavily worked cars doing a skidpan day basically. Some technical overviews of cars and stuff. Had a worked S6 RX7, the queen street modded Fezza 360 (the one in auto salon i think), a modded 351GT, plus various other jap imports. I couldnt hear what they were saying about the cars, but it looked like a great show visually!! Better than ignition IMO because they had proper action shots (sorry in advance to the ignition fanboi's)

Well that's what I was thinking. It didn't look like your typical show off program. Especially if Luffy was yelling out his normal stuff. Which I had always found funny.. I remember one of the things he yelled out to me once was, "what the f**k are you doing making a cup of coffee on the dashboard". Ahh good times..

saw the end of the episode, was on yesterday actually about 3pm.

luffy did his usual thing where he makes you feel like a mouse so you dont do stupid things the next time lol. he owned the lot of them. basically they couldnt handle a bit of motorkhana it was realy interesting to watch them suck so bad. rx7 drove it quite well, but they made a big thing of how puncy he drove? its called "cornering"

i think the show has a lot of great potential, but i never know when things are on so hope i stumble over it again. thumbs up. not much tech about the cars tho, despite the silvia blowing driveshafts

Maybe they should get some drivers and cars made up for that sort of thing? Instead of getting the biggest HP cars and drivers who love to do burnouts and silly stuff.

Dom was the only person who actually gave it a go and then he gets put down by the other guys. I don't know about them but staying in control is a lot more fun then losing it every time you turn a corner and accelerate.

And the car representing us is a 200 ..... should be a skyline... maybe the z tune could represent us

The 3rd episode was on Friday nite at 8pm (as it is every week). The show had massive potential, until Ian Luff was made the head honcho because he praises everyone through the event cheering and saying how brilliant their cars are but then smacks them down at the end saying they are pathetic and car can't handle and has too much power yadda yadda.

The show is only 30mins long, the first 10mins is introducing each driver and car every single week, then it's about 15mins of the actual event which they don't show you each car performing just snippets of each car doing burnouts or the drivers talking etc then the lat 5mins is Ian Luff pulling himself off to an audience.

Dom (RX-7) is the only driver taking it seriously and the most genuine guy, all the other v8 drivers just want to do smoke shows and the Ferrari driver is too busy infront of the mirror making himself look pretty. Andrew in the 200SX spends more time in the workshop than the track and at best will finish the show in last position.

You can download each episode in low quality avi from ns.com

Unfortunately that doesnt make for exciting TV... People want to see cars sliding and burning rubber. A motorkhana looks relatively boring without all that :)

Last time I watched any motor racing it didn't involve sliding or burning rubber except drifting... :)

I know I'd enjoy it a little more if I saw more cars and drivers like Dom who actually push their car in the way they ask not in the form of a huge burnout.

Yeah but unfortunately for us adrian, you and I arent the normal target audience!!

Well I can pick who they are trying to target with those big HP V8 beasts... and they are especially trying to put us poor imports down by adding that broken 200SX :)

    • 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/
