Is all very interesting :)

Roy, nice choice mate. With the freedoms in Classic you could turn a DR into a good thing :)

You'll get good money for it if you do well in it. Only if the car is reknown for pace though. IMO

This is Brisby we are talking about here.

If he builds it (1.2% chance of him actually doing it rather than just talking about it!) it will look good, sound great but due to some whack theory he devises he will actually make it go quite slowly.

But it should end up with nice brakes if nothing else.

:)

Feeling the love Bris??

You build it and I will drive it.... you seemed happy enough to let me have a crack in the RB20 of awesomeness at Benalia for some nuts....

Whole early, early modern and late, early modern split is bogus, when post 86 was modern, life was so much easier! Without any knowledge of whys and wherefores, contention that the addition of late cosmetics, on an essentially unchanged platform, put you 6 or 7 minutes up the road....you gotta say, take the hand off the pud, gurus.

Yeah mate spotted that, but it's a fair way over the odds.

And Benny, no thanks. lol

buy my emo 6 RS. has the CR box (which is awesome for circuit/tarmac etc), has upgraded LSDs front, rear and centre. no gAYC or ACD, strong 200kw, ohlins suspension, TE37s etc. nice and straight and full registered. I'm getting keen to sell too so will move off my high horse!

I took it out to wakefield the other day and even on street tyres (dunlop Z1*) I managed a 1:12 which is bloody hauling considering I'm pretty shit behind the wheel. no ABS though I think (not that I've had any bad lock-ups, would be nice for tarmac though).

they are farking quick and with all the LSds the thing is still a bit hairy and fun to drive. it does have way more grip that it deserves though!

I'm not quite sure who/what you're taking aim at? Care to elaborate? I think you're referring to Series 6 through 8 RX7's?

Let the record state, I for one couldn' give a rats arse about them. Come one, come all I reckon :)

Richard your being an enabler! Can you go and sell some crack to some teens instead?

you been following me again? lol, it's not like i'm adding another emo to the world. just passing one on! wooster is already practically a woman in pants so the emo will suit him to a tee.

well in my RS is mech clutch plate for the center LSD, just like the front and rear. not sure what the stock VI has. probably open diff?

all I can say is if I can pilot that car to a 1:12 at wakefield (bear in mind street tyres, 200kw and small brakes), then it's a fking weapon of a car. cause it sure as hell isn't the driver... I can't drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse.

    • 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/
