So it was on??? I was there at 12:20, only one skyline in carpark (white 33 GTR NEURO) , ask them about it and was told nothing was booked for SAUWA only MX5 Club. :blink:

that wasn't me dude lol

i only found out about the booking after paul had arrived and then i sat with greg until the meeting room lol

was great fun though ;)

screw those handbrake turns hahaha

Thanks, Paul, for organising this. Great afternoon, despite the glitsch at the beginning. By the way, I have just logged my phone out of your Hotmail account ... ... .... !!!!

You did want to order a year's supply of Viagra and to help that nice man in Nigeria with his $25,000,000, didn't you? :down:

Hopefully, the Pulsar will just have the two boys in it next time and won't have to work so hard ..... .... .... and I'll be in the R34!

That would be good.

Great to meet everyone again and some new faces too. I am glad it wasn't just me failing on the handbrake turns. It was much easier years ago in the UK on the ice, wet sand, anywhere slippy!

Cheers. :D

yea it was a great day cheers paul :) Next time ill definatly NOT have standard suspension cant beleive how much understeer it had :)

Don't be surprised about understeer from a Skyline. Changing the suspension won't change that completely. The straight six is a big lump up front, so any Skyline (particularly a GTR) is going to struggle on the skidpan/autokhana - slower into the corner works better, to an extent, because you get better turn in. If you get out onto Barbagallo, you will be able to practice trail braking, which helps the transfer of weight and the turn in - which is much harder to make effective on the skid pan.

In short, don't expect expensive suspension to deliver a solution to understeer - you need to drive it better as well! :P

(Spoken from bitter experience .... ... ... and still learning!)

Cheers. :laugh:

haha yea man i wasnt expecting it to fix it completly, just make it a bit better. the other thing that was killing me was the body roll, through some of the corners it would throw the weight further than i was expecting. but yes i do need to learn more about what its going to do which is why im going to all these days :laugh: cheers for feedback :P

    • 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/
