Why not take the Skyline? Just because it doesn't have massive power doesn't mean you can't race it, especially on a more technical track like Winton. Head up there, learn the lines, the braking points, feel how your car handles, etc.

Yeah this is true I went to the last one of these and it was way to crowded you could get 1 good lap in if you were at the front of the line then it was peak hour traffic and to many slow cars since anything that has 4 wheels pretty much enters.

thats true, last one i went to there was a few hyundais and vw golfs xr6's etc its a "fun day"

Really? You wouldn't think people would take their family cars up there. We've never been to one before, been to a test and tune, that wasn't bad.

It's not so much it's lack of turbo that bothers me, my car has enough power for what I want... but it's very embarrassing cruising around in a Skyline with a huge ding in it....my back left has a flared guard now :P How I hate stupid big 'cars' with bull bars, apparently silver is a very hard colour to see.

Sooo, who went to Winton today? We cruised up there in the FTO, been doing too many Km's in the 34 lately. 1500 kms a week is to much for my poor baby.

Any one see us?

its Brenton typing now: wasnt a bad day except that 2nd drivers breifing because some1thought it was a destruction derby haha, saw a white stagea but it was pretty slow(did c 2 though) few skylines including a purple r33gtr that the dude wanted an oil cap because he lost his and had to get back 2 ballarat.

1st time around i passed this white r34 but i think it must have been a non turbo, any1 here? had green p plates, few nice cars including a silver gtr r33 that was pretty damn fast any1 here?

subaru spun which was cool 2 watch, blue evo was off its head and there was this green supercharged vs commodore that sounded like crap and was slow an full of rats too lol.

ooh yeah there was a stock as a rock corrolla, eb 6cyl auto ford driven by a l plater and laser that were slowing every1 down not to mention the overweight mullet wearing kid L plater in the 6 cylinder holden hq? wagon with 1 of those paper airfilters sticking out of the bonnet, it was as funny as it was sad lol.

anyway who went and what car were u in (colour 2)???????

    • 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/
