I hear you. Everyone makes a mistake at some time, and it's my personal opinion that what goes on in the car, stays in the car.

I have a theory, and it may be a weak one, that when Rod was saying"where was the f**king chicane call?", he wasn't so much asking Sammy as asking himself, like, where was it in his brain and why did he miss it? It's only a theory, mainly because I could hear myself asking myself the same question out loud if in a similar situation.

Regardless, the first question after a hit like that should be "are you ok?".

2. I definately would have got off the brakes and just hit the chicane. Hitting a chicane isn't the end of the world, flat spotting all four tyres and going hard into the scenery is. Check out the skid marks in Sav's video at 3:34!

I know it's old news now but I noticed that sammy had posted up clear footage of the acco at the end of june, she's also said she wont nav again. and I wouldn't either. the first thing SHE said was "are you ok". the first thing he said was "yeah I'm ok (no question about her) and where was the f**king call". well there was the first chicane call, then the 100 meter chicane call, then the 'get off it' call. how much help did he need, and instead of just trying to wash off as much pace as possible and plough straight into the plastic barrier it looks like he has a nice tug of the wheel which sets the car into a massive tank slapper and points him straight into the tree. yeah he'd be pretty shaken up after a big acco and could be forgiven for a few fks and cnts but she had the decency and presence of mind to ask how he was, all he did was basically this was your fault. he must have had his ipod on max if he missed those chicane calls.

should have listened to my own adivice and got a gts

anyway i am building it to CT spec so i can come play the lets blow up engine game with duncan

should be fun!!!

im excited

ill be aiming for a TT run in 2011

im excited

mainly for the sidz i will get to do once the 4wd dies!

And true to her word she has now entered in next years season as a driver - in a '91 Nissan GTi-R.

:mrt:

yeah I saw she bought a neat white little GTI-R Pulsar, has some good bits, LSDs, Close ratio box etc. if set-up well and with the right bits they are a good little car. 1200kg, good SR20 with quad throttles, all the good bits etc, AWD they are pretty competitive. their real downfall is the lack of popularity means there is no big amount of aftermarket support or knowledge pool like you have with other models like EVOs WRC etc.

she seems to be a good driver so hopefully she does well. :)

    • 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/
