I am so rude. I'm going to try and blame it on my flu :starwars:

Jeff and Nerida Beable, long time SAU member and Targa veterans...... 2nd in early Modern. Great effort to you both! Congratulations!

Now Jeff, if you read this, I'd like you to give me your thoughts on the new Yokohama Ao50 you ran please! :blush:

Sent P M

No I won't!

Ben will be Classic, Jeff and the Manions will be Early Modern and I'm stuck in Modern with the R35's, GT2's and Lambo's due to me running as a 2005 Nismo Z Tune rather than 1999 Nissan R34 GT-R. So really I'll just be making up the numbers next year which suits me fine.

I should just put the smaller turbo's on it and change to Early Modern but I like my funky body kit too much these days even if the rear pods do get completely destroyed in these events.

Well, I noticed those cute little rear pods got so hammered by stones you can nearly fit your fist through one of them :sick:

I say mod it back to early modern, or have a crack Snowy... HAVE A CRACK son! :O

You know car 732, our little GTS-t, came 17th OUTRIGHT hey :)

Yeah you and your little GTSt was over a mintue up on me after 2 days and in fact you beat every other Nissan Skyline / GT-R in the whole event other than the one that came 1st ya FREAK!

Actually Timmy is the concern. Anyone who gets in the passenger seat next to someone who is quite obviously oblivious to the laws of physics must suffer from some major form of insanity.

:)

Haha, that's what I've been telling anyone who's asked over these past few days. (edit: no, not that we had a minute on you, I mean that Timmy has massive testes)

They typically start by saying "how was Targa", and I reply whilst shaking my head saying "well firstly, my navigator is farking nuts" lol

Hahahaha he certainly is. I especially love it when he yells at you to go faster and you think "Fark any faster we are going to crash!"

Would you take financial advice from this man?

He has never yelled such a thing to me :laugh:

He has been known to go for a "seat grab" at times, even a "double seat grab" occasionally >_<

I failed this year, no seat grabs :down:

    • 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/
