Time for a upgrade of the suspension me thinks....after i upgraded mine there is no squatting and more hauling ahead

Your car doesn't squat because you dont have over 300kw and 4WD traction.

We have a winner! GTR's drive totally differently Mr Krishy...

Bec, that's a great result, congrats! Be interested to see what mine pulls on that dyno, may be a touch high reading

with a forged motor and aftermarket turbos why would you bother tuning it at 16 psi?

total waste of time and money.

above 24 psi is where its at.

give it to the bitch and reap the rewards.

if you cant handle the power you shouldnt have built/purchased the car.

pffftt, 2.1 Bar gets the juices flowing

Like I said, I wanted a safe tune. Without all that stuff over 300AWkW isn't necessarily "safe".

I didn't buy the car to do launches. I bought it to do ALL of what GTRs are meant to do - go, stop, and most of all, turn. I wanted an overall magnificently HANDLING car. Much more than that at the wheels on these starts to get twitchy as others have found out.

At the end of the day, it's my "wasted" money, I worked hard for it. I have to drive it, not you, and to me it's no "waste" at all, so really, that's all that matters :P

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback - I'm still new to a lot of aspects of a car like this! Everyone's been really helpful and supportive, thank you :P

Thinking of heading out and about tonight! :D

uleh says "time 4 yoo 2 show us ur f00ly h3kt1k dr1ft sk1ds yo"

*facepalm*

-D

Mine has 315 AWKW on 20 psi with stock motor, and aftermarket garrets, Goes like the clappers when u wind up the wick above 4500rpm, but no wheel shutter as i re did the suspension and subframe bushes myself. Got a fully built head and 272 jun cams on the way next week, so should see around 400kw when shes done.

But well done Bec, its your car, do what you want to do with it, dont let others tell you you should do this you should do that. Beautiful car i might add.

    • 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/
