I have a couple of mates that resisted IPhones and paid top dollar for HTCs that they have never been happy with .... I <3 my Iphone, and I doubly <3 Itunes and all the amazing software and games that are free or next to free.

Jamming 3rd mid skid especially when the syncros are a bit shifty is hard thing to get the hang of. Might enquire with SARace what it would cost them to change the syncros on 1 - 4 maybe, otherwise deal with it haha. It is a z32 gearbox, might be worth doing. I'd like 1 - 3 straight cut gears :banana:

I was chattin to the bloke who built your car (I'm guessin you bought Tuffy's sileighty yeah?) and he reckons 2nd to 3rd with a Z32 box is a massive jump, like it drops way too many revs and leaves 3rd fked.

Not sure if it'll help in your car as much as mine but I found snapping 3rd mid slide is easiest done just after a transition. Like flick it a bit harder than you think you should then use the momentum of the car to give you a bit more time to slot 3rd properly.

keen as fk for skids on the 24th :D

Bah!!

I've had 2 HTC phones, Touch Dual & HD....both slow and would occasionally hang

Love the iPhone

Theres the problem with the HTCs you've had - they're both Windows. Windows have always been a horrible OS on mobile phones...

^^ N900 > N97

dont have one but thats my next phone of choice

N8 looks like it might > N900

Was talking to the dude from allphones who i've got both mine and Bianca's phones through for a while now and he said the N900 isnt a bad phone bit it doesn't do mms it can only send email photo's....

Pete i've read the reviews and watched youtube videos and they're awesome things time will tell i guess...I'll keep people informed :banana:

I despise itunes how hard is it to put music onto what is essential an overrated USB drive? My wifes $100 music player is easier to use then anything apple produces

(sidenote: what's with all the whacked HTC model names these days..)

You're probably right Vu cause I've had Sony Ericssons (Symbian OS) and they were fast as

I've had plenty Nokias in the past and never really had problems with them either........loved my Matrix Slide Nokia 10 years ago :banana:

Yeah man I bought Tuffy's old Sileighty

Now that you mention it I did notice when I hit 3rd it'd slightly bog down and then once get passed that stage jump straight to 6,000rpm lol

I'll give that a go with what you said, any advice at this stage is good advice. I'll take anything and everything on board.

I should be out on the 24th, Need to organize a tow, tires and I'll probably just leave the smashed exhaust for now lol, might just take it off at the cat useless ugly fpos - but I'm f**ken keen as! Day skids ftw. Do you know if its the same price? $100 + cams license?

    • 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/
