This, my friends, would be the most hated guy in Adelaide:

Gang of 49 ring-leader who got arrested - obviously the guy in the pic.

And, I'm guessing, these are some of the other 'members':

Wow, they even look like complete and utter losers... who would have though it?

Chick looks like the typical elizabethan slapper, minus the double pram. Love the token nerdy white guy too, obvously hes their facebook mod.. lol... looks like he tried to throw up gang signs but ended up doing his best impression of the red wiggle when he gets excited

-D

well, i now have an HKS suction kit on my car. no more inlet sucking shut when it warms up.

... and i just got a call, my seat is ready. :)

Yep making around 246.6 rwkw on 14.5psi....needing a new exhaust as when we cranked the boost up to 17psi at 400rpm it starting dropping off to 14psi and held hard on 14psi....for some stupid reason the boost wont go higher then 14psi so we ie me and the tuner came to the conclusion of needs a new cat back system and also have to get andrew from AM Performance to fit it all up as there is a leak out of the vband flange thingy

I am using a .63 rear housing so my boost comes on a bit earlier then yours Abe but has the same feeling of hitting you like a damn train when the boost kicks in.....well described with the FnF NOS scenario....cant wait to check it out tomorrow

Time for a bigger snail Krishy, .63 would running into big back pressure at that power, forcing the gate open, you would need a 19 psi actuator for a start and some colder fuel to cope with the heat if you want anymore hp!!

so a better actuator should do the job for the time being??? i am not chasing huge HP's atm with my car just 250ish which is why i am happy with 246.....but have been told that can get up and about the 260mark....so will be trying to get that sometime soon.....hopefully with a new exhaust it makes a difference as i said before atm there is a leak from the Vband flange....its not sitting properly....will see andrew once i get back from the loxton car show.....

how restrictive is your exhaust? how much timing she got up top now?, once you have to start takeing it out you reached the limit of the housing, IMO leave it dont waste anymore money on dyno time, you might gain midrange but bugger all top end

just got an email about the vipec computers and they are making a plug and play for the neo motor.

Decision do i install the power fc or sell it and buy the vipec and put that into the car instead?

means i can get rid of the airflow meter and go map sensor.

:P

well its a 3 inch all dented up on the underside, mid muffler and a cannon......i was going to get a new cat back soon anyway......in regards to timing i have nfi about it.....

the cover needs a little bit of fiddling to get it spot on, but yeah, looks respectable now. ;D

... and now im off to get my copy of forza 3. fut yeah.

i like your car dave.

go get forza, tell me if its worth getting just for fujimi kaido cause idgf about racing a ferrari or some gay porsche lol. i will be checking back in tomorrow for your review. kgo.

if i ever get the bastard thing connected to the net ill let you know.

seat looks good scanyflick.. gonna do both fronts?

thankyou. and no. no point in spending another $1k+ on a seat for the passenger.

    • 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/
