Like Martin said, Iron Chef corner (TM pending, thanks J-Rad) is like glass, I wish I'd spun the other way, then I'd have only lost my dignity :(

I found it interesting that I spun the R33 GTR twice today, both times on warm up laps when I was not pushing the car.

I didn't drive very aggressively today at all - didn't attack turn 1 until the last session and never really pushed it through the Esses. I think the events of yesterday added to my caution.

Scruitineering is always an issue, i agree,

There is my point :)

I think the biggest revelation has been Australian drift #2 driver Simon P switching over to Time Attack level format from Drift. He is super competitive at the pointy end - but he did spend a lot of time developing the car for the new format. He also nearly binned it in the fence on Iron Chef corner :turned:

Its actually a straight.....but hey who cares :)

In a slow car it is, not a quick one :P

Simon P was fantastic to watch yesterday, as was Brad Trenwith who reeled off a low 1:12 :O

In better news, I'm pleased to report that my next project will be a car built entirely from the plastic used on an R33 GT-R coolant overflow bottle, which somehow managed to survive the hit without any damage...

seeing no-one in my family has been told of the incident ;)

Not even the wife?

You're brave..your name hector with a last name you can't pronouce now??

:P

No this won't be commented on in public, seeing no-one in my family has been told of the incident ;)

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