You're not wrong there.

The car is booked in for a tune at EFI on Wednesday. Need to fit Nistune, drop front shaft and up the boost a little before then.

"was found guilty in Wangaratta Magistrates' Court "

For some reason i read that as Wallangarra. Wasn't any sort of weird trail fixing afterall.

Hope it all turns out well, I'll have to save like hell and hope I can get more done before too long. Mine is only set for 7.5PSI with a good 3-4 more to come as it stands but not sure if I wanna keep her as she is or go all out... Glad I dont have to worry about dropping driveshafts ect, keep us informed.

They'll set the boost when they tune it.

Not with the way my boost control works....

I didn't realise it was as bad as it was made out to be. Welcome To California...

you get off work at 12:30 on a Friday? nice deal

I haven't done much all day. Does that count?

Thanks mate. Your's turned out ok, except for the big dollars. 155kw for stock boost is good. Going all out costs too much...:wacko:

Yeah I know but it's possible plans for the future. Biggest things for me at the moment is my suspension is completely farked in the back, front not too bad but could be better so that's my main, then I got a small leak in the turbo manifold I have to reseal, the turbo drain has a small leak and VCT rewiring and new boost controller. That's what they've told me anyway.

if you are who I think - why haven't you popped up sooner..

Have been very busy the last 2 weeks with work..... Lookin forward 2 meetin some of u's over the next few weeks!!!!! Sorry i didn't go last nite i fell asleep:(

Any plans for the weekend???

just a quick question.

What oil you guys and gals pour into your babies?? Ive been very happy with MOTUL turbolight....but getting increasingly annoying to find. Ralf has some penrite jazz in his.....ive never been happy with a penrite oil. :sick:

Royal purple or penrite sin, turbo light is shit, every time I have used it I have had inconsistent oil pressure after about 2000kms

ive always had nice consistent oil pressure with turbolight, Mumslayer has penrite in his car atm...and his oil pressure seems very low.

i love the idea of royal purple. but dunno if i can justify the 100 bucks a bottle :(

The Turbolight isn't a fully synthetic oil, it's a synthetic/mineral blend

If you're going to use Motul, go for the 8100 excess or Chrono V

I use Royal Purple

im not worried about fully syn and not. the cars were made and factory run on basics, so i think the 59 bucks for the turbolight will do. (which i did fine btw...locally and easily)

that sounds like an interesting oil you running there smity. hows the oil pressure? im still vary wary of penrite.

Dan [ERD] has posted this previously, and it's not the be all and end all of oil tests but it gives you a good guide:

    • 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/
