In the end I didn't see any of you out there racing in 46 degree ( over 50 at least in the car ) racing , at least I was out there supporting the sport..... You all say that we need a quarter mile strip here in SA yet none of you support drag racing by going out to the track and having a go..... So I don't think it's fair for you to laugh at someone that is actually supporting the sport. Everyone needs to start somewhere... No matter how slow or how fast you go..... I travelled 6 hours to get to whyalla alone, and that's just for whyalla. So if you do want a quarter mile strip here in SA then start supporting the 1/8 strips by going out there and having a go..... It shouldn't matter how long it takes to get there If you are true to supporting the sport then you will go out there and do it.

Drag racing thrills. Street racing kills.

I'm not saying straight line racing is for everyone...... You don't see me laughing or bagging out people that do drifting or any other form of Motorsport. In the end we do what ever motor sport keeps us happy. I just don't think it's appropriate for people to laugh at me for what they consider to be a slow time. Especially those who have never been out there and done it themselves.

Cara, you're getting ever so slighty cranky cos people dont know what you're on about half the time. Some of us realise that there's 1/8 mile around, and what you're running etc (ie cos you do have conversations with some of us, me included). So for me to see that, i go "hey, thats not bad for a first timer with a dead stock car on a f**kin hot day"

whereas everyone else goes WTF?

same as on 31 club, not everyone knows............and there are going to be some that stir. Learn to deal with them without going off the deep end at everyone..............because going off the deep end will piss off those who are willing to help you out

    • 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/
