Yep!

I am over it too...house smells like shit....backyard smells worse and is soggy as f*k. Then the car is covered in mud and is nice and is all damp....so damp that even the seat belt mechanism has gone tight =/

Usually they loosen up when there damp ;)

... But seriously rain can jog on, it's wrecking my Wednesday night test and tune mid week racing fix lol

You kents and your boat comments :P

Why exactly is a 33 GTR a boat? Keeps up with a 32 in every way even tho it's heavier....and with f*kked rear shocks at the time too? Take that v-spec boy ;)

That's a bit rich, sure you had f**ked shocks at the time but your forgetting a few things

1. You have around 150 more kw then I do

2. I was driving the 32 and

3. I have never pushed the car hard once

Bro if my car was all tuned and shit I'd be there every event :P But I think certain other people on here may not be manly enough for such an outing :P

Get it fixed and tuned already!

Says the manly man who is too tired to have a beer of a Friday night :P

This ^^^^^^^

Nah man, they're tight as lol....unfortunately they don't losen up like other damp things we know of :)

What a chammy?

I was wondering where you had gotten to :D

I'm sure we've had the two up against each other in stock trim or? Or did I already have the N1s on there back in the day? I can't remember now.

You had the N1's on.

...except for at Willowbank :P

Even then I didn't push it that hard

All this talk about racing and nothing's happening LOL

When's the race on? I will come watch.

I'm also willing to bet that the old girl will keep up with the GTRs without too much difficulty should I join in.

As for the strip, I reckon she'll do a blistering 14sec pass with me behind the wheel ;)

I don't race the vspec. When I did take the vspec down to the drags I ran a blistering 14.7

Ok what have all you guys been up to. I got a pm from Tony today asking me to call him. I am not mad just annoyed that what ever you guys have done I wasn't involved

Eh? I haven't done anything bar posting in here and on TSO facebook... :(

Old girl's still out of action AFAIK

    • 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/
