So I failed the EPA lol. Told me that I should have red rb20 injectors fitted :D they know their colours. Passed co2 emissions with the sards and standard exhaust was 89db lol.

Told me to throw on some red injectors and will sign it off. As I was walking back to the mechanic, a hwy patrol pulled out of the mechanic. I hope he didn't have a poke around lol. An unmarked was there getting a service, so hope he had the same lol

don't think I can be stuffed putting the sards back in after this...

turned it on yesterday(just to see if it would get cold(forgot to test it out before i bought the car) and yeah, didnt get cold

also, got mum to do the transfers for me, so she decided to "fill it up" for me, nice of my mum to fill it up and all... on 91....

kill it with fire! Got yourself some detonation issues there my friend lawls.

tyre sies? thinkin 225/45/17 and 245/40/18 or 235/45/17 and 255/40/18

You may need to pump your guards even further out with those tyre sizes. I ended up going with 215/45/17 and 235/40/18 but thats on a 9.5 and 10.5.

lol kris said baby it, so i am till the fuel finishes.

noob q- can i top it up with 98 when the fuel gets low?

yup, you could also buy some octane booster from repco etc, and put that into your tank. Wont bring it up to 98, but it may be better than 91

my current ku36's won't be dead when the xd9's arrive so I'll be using them on the back... They are 235/40

I'll prob go 225/45 on the 17's

guards will definately have to be worked on the rears... But just the insides... I never rolled that bump out that sits above the tyre on the inside.

Outsides should be fine

Today I took my R for a drive for first time since Sunday...

And I didn't enjoy the drive much, do I have a problem if I don't enjoy 302rwkw GTR?

    • 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/
