Enjoy your fluffy pink seat covers

Disclaimer: the above is an assumption based on your softness :P

:O

My secret shame!

Your not going to go racing around the track with aircon.....surely?

Done that once, Eastern Creek 2006, 42 degrees outside.

Stinking hot day, so much free space on track cause most people didnt show up due to the heat.

Left street tyres on and just went out there for a blast cause the day was all paid for, had the day off work etc. Went WOT happily, water temp was fine and oil temp was around 100. A mates GTR kept on splitting the stock intercooler pipe (rubber one) so most of the afternoon was spent helping him while it was hottest outside around 2pm literally dripping in sweat.

Wouldnt do it again, id go to the pub instead.

You have redeemed yourself, good sir.

But yes, f**k that. 42 degrees...I'd hate to think how bloody hot it was getting inside the cabin of someone not running their aircon.

I have done this on 35c days, make it easier to concentrate and more enjoyable. The air con cuts out at high rpm anyway.

lol

Huge power and all the modcons = perfect setup

Enjoy your sweatboxes guys smile.gif

Exactly, it makes the experience that much more enjoyable.

I don't understand why you guys have dailys or don't drive your skylines around the street. Unless they aren't road legal then why not get the most out of your money and enjoy it every single day? Makes sense to me, I couldn't handle driving another car and missing out on the skyline love every morning : )

Well my mate didnt use AC, from memory he had a blown fuse, anyway his seat was soaked, shirt soaked, pants soaked, socks soaked, wiping sweat from his forhead down the straight. He did NOT have a fun day

Dave and I are alike there, we LOVE our skylines in the morning.....like 6am in a nice quiet set of hills on deserted roads haha

Daily drivers are great. You get in, it always works without fuss, zero effort to drive, comfortable suspension, no 3 plate clutch, park it anywhere, cops dont even look at you, skyline can be in workshops for months at a time and it doesnt matter......wheres the downside lol

For me it's pretty simple. I refuse to park my car in a busy car park all day. I've had way to many things happen to it from doing that and I swear I will snap and kill some one if something happens again.

Even when I drove it to uni (before the motorbike) I used to park far away by myself and i would still be paranoid all lesson in class.

I like to drive it and enjoy it for the pleasure of driving it, not parking it with redneck retards in car parks that come to town once a week to stock up on supplies.

Sorry for the rant, you just hit a nerve lol.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      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 🤣

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      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).
