and also to Tomski for the unbelievable hot lap.

Why ta

Im in for the next 1 hour enduro though... great night and the trophy is mine next time so long as the clutch holds out!!! :D

I think you mean its mine if the front bumper doesn't keep falling off :banana:

Tom, i still claim its a electronic error that gave you the 58 second lap...however, it was a fantastic lap and i acknowledge that your fast laps times were quite consistent.

I was in the 59's for a while then I must have taken at least one of the corners faster than usual. Thats the first time I have been on those karts so my target for next time is a 57 second lap :D . I'm in for any of these track nights :)

awsome night, those carts can go sideways alright :banana: my misses told me that when i came onto the main straight my cart was making skidskid noises, suprised we came 4th or 5th with nearly a flat 1min time, my co driver had never carted before and i dont think i did a dfull lap without tryna slide it :)

Pull the E-brake and power ooooonnnnn? :D

I'm in definately for another round.

Maybe if i dont cause any carnage next time, and our front bar doesn't keep coming off, we should place well... as i still managed a few 1:02s this time iirc.

Lots of fun regardless, made the GTR feel slow when i drove it later in the night... itching for that turbo upgrade now, and Brad, make my gtr handle like gokart pls? :)

A great night, well done to Brad, for organising the event, and then for carrying his team to victory :thumbsup:

I'll be up for another one :D

I think you are forgetting someone there PC.........

    • 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/
