Not in NSW 13/7 it starts...next week is NAIDOC week. (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrates the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia, thats something to look forward too I suppose

I agree T, this thread will be hektic to the power of sik...until it's locked lol

its mine officially

although i don't live in Sydney it was a CRD prepared car so its kind of a Sydney car.

1460kg, street registered, street legal rubber, synchro gearbox, 2.6 litre, small low mount turbo's, no NOS...etc

soon to be much faster...catch me if you can.

wots your definition of street spec?

Street tyres like your standard 17s 18s pump fuel full interior come on guys its just a race we just want to see how our car stands against the rest, it might even be a fun night.

Domonic Rigoli told me that you know the car i have its robs old white one,he managed a 10.02 @143 on mickey Ts. I have only got a 11.1 @129 on 18 psi and 245x18 nexens.

Mate im a 42 year old military aerospace engineer who has spent lots on a car.And like the rest of us on this site i just want to get out and have fun in it. Take a bunch of tough GTRs out to WSID and have a few runs against each other,we can even embarrass some of the farm machinery oops i mean V8s.

If you have only managed an 11.1 than your a long way off Dirt Garages time buddy. Best not to lay down a challange that you cant win.

Did you notice the 18 psi and 245x18s, the t51 r hasnt even started to work yet.

Couldnt you have just said "I just bought a quick GTR and want to know where it stands among the other fast GTRs in Sydney...not "cmon I dare ya"

and FYI I was in the military aswell and have spent lots on my car...but I dont go around saying "I have a car thats better than everyone else's try and beat me"

Yeah i know,the "i dare ya" was Rigoli's idea he said it would be needed to get eveyone to fire up. And i guess he was right.

    • 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/
