marlin - no fences to hold you back from the big drops up there punk!

kel - harsh, but promoting it as a hairdresser's car doesn't suggest any great aspirations so could be a good way to keep it! actually i'd love to paint it flat black, i reckon that would look awesome, handy for sponsors too... just whip out the chalk duster when you get a new one!

sav_man - not sure about up north, but from hobart myself and darren fogarty in the rx7, peter o'keefe seems pretty keen, an almost finished gtr down here with a guy new to tarmac rally, another new guy to tarmac rally that i went to school with in his yet to be finished l34 torana and a couple of others are talkin.

Sounds like alot of talk stu :P typical of our southern counterparts ;)

sorry Stu nothing personal- I can't help it that it's been the car of choice for ever hairdresser I've ever had :P

I'm liking that car as a chalkboard idea....

oh, well done to mark and sarah :D

You mean Russ? Mark was in the service park with me. Russ and sarah both did a great job. It was sarah's first go at navving, and she really did a great job. watching their in-car footage there was nothing left pace wise.

I must be having rally with-drawals finally.

I dreamt I was driving through a patato field last night! LOL

Oh me too! lol

Funny you say that, I had ice cream prior to bed last night and was driving through that field again, but in a 35! lol

sorry I don't think I will be able to treat the donut princess to the level you are accustomed to - r35s and 5 star accom. I hope you will consider a 20yo r32 and cabins to be "retro"

haha I don't buy it at all....maybe she is just being nice.

we ran in prod spec at targa, we'll turn the boost up for this and see how the old girl goes. will be interesting to see what the car can do too :thumbsup:

Mt stuart was good, nice and relaxed :thumbsup: I hope to get back there next year. Would love for some of you guys to come up!

I'm glad you had a good enough time to wanna come back up next year Ben. I'm afraid I let the SAU team down a bit with my little detour off the side of the hill. But in saying that we were having a pretty good go considering the absolute horrid rear end set up we had. But it's on the way to repair now so we'll be back for next year. I hope you can drag some others up here with you for a good fun weekend.

well looks like Ben has made targa change the rules, category 7 has moved to early modern. I notice the Porsche guys didn't care when a 944 won classic, but you can't have a Nissan wrecking a Porsche 1-10 finish.

but you would have to enter it as a std gtr as the n1 wasn't realesed till 1991(?) not that anyone runs the proper turbos anyway.

if the rules are being changed, the 400r should be put into s1 mod level.

    • 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/
