i think there was too much limiter bashing, it was horrible, and is not cool at all.

i was only bashing my limiter off the line this time ! so don't look at me to much, i have to get some heat into my tyres :cool:

the first time i took my silvia out, i was quite enjoying bouncing it off the limiter around the track, i quite enjoyed it too, the only reason i don't do it now is cause iv'e spent too much on the engine :sweat:

My problem is I either leave it in first and smash the limiter, or I switch to second then try and ram it back into first when I reach the cone. I've already had one gearbox blow on me, and they're nearly as expensive to replace as the engine!

Same problem in mine. It's frustrating being in 2nd and almost hitting the limiter but the next cone is not far enough to make it worthwhile changing up, so it's a constant pace to the next cone :cool:

Why do I get the feeling that was a jest at me :banana:

Kez do u double / heel toe into 1st gear? Makes it a hell of alot easier on the gearbox and to get the thing into 1st :D

I don't even know what you're talking about so I'm guessing no, lol.

And Ryan, that's just cruel!

When you go down a gear, as you hit the brakes with your toe you use your heel to blip the throttle to match the revs so it goes in smoothly.

It's very easy and a reflex action when you get used to it

Agreed, practice makes perfect really... when I was learning I took the long way to/from work just so I could get some more mileage through corners.

Once accomplished Kez, aim to double clutch heel toe which will not only stop the jerky downshift, but will save your synchros a lot. This involves what Hamish described but you let the clutch out in neutral as you blip, then clutch back in before selecting the lower gear.

Good guide I learnt from:

I learnt just doing it while I was driving around town.

I.e. RoundABout's etc

start by learning to blip the throttle without worrying about the brakes

you will quickly learn how much you need to press it to get the revs matched

then you can learn to do it with your heel (or you can also roll your foot like I do with my size 14's)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      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).
