High fuel prices give me more reasons to get a Nistune system for my baby. She runs SO rich, you can hear the big pop (and probably see flames) every time it changes gear while giving her a bit.

350-400km out of a tank currently, I should be getting better fuel economy then roughly 16L/100KM even with my lead foot.

Pretty much. 400km out of a tank is about average for a Skyline I think. You won't get much better than that. Fuel economy is overrated anyways :thumbsup:

Lol at economy - what economy!! :whistling:

Yeah just put the neo turbo on, all is good. It's pretty much a case of needing money elsewhere in my life at the moment. I'm sick of constantly wanting to buy new and better parts for my car, and as long as I have it that will always be the case.

I wanna get back into music in a big way which unforunately like most things is going to cost a little. Also wanna start looking at having money for a house deposit etc in the next year or two so this is kind of the first step towards that I guess.

Shhhh, no telling me my economy is normal! If I continue to think it's too high and running really rich I can convince myself that a new ECU is a sensible thing to do, as opposed to a fun thing I want :P

11-12 for me, I'm going to get a nistune once some slacker buys my Cefiro.

Yo Two cents, does ol mate at the Ice-cream meet want to make an offer?

im between 380 to 430 out of a tank with the light on .....

how far do you reckon the 34 would go with the light on? lol

my best trip in the GTR was 466km from 39L, This included some quick trips up and down the summit of the bunyas. After i realised i have kick ass ecconomy I stopped calculating it :P

Don't think he would be buying for a while yet, + i think he's pretty set on an r31 :/ Will talk to him tomorrow.

    • 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/
