Awesome video man, I have to get one of those cameras for my car quality was actually better then I expected.

Do you have any info on where to get the camera and how much they cost? Are they easy to setup and can they be moved from car to car?

The cheapest place for GoPros I've found is here: http://www.camerastore.com.au/

The video quality on their new ones is awesome, click the 1080p button in YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The audio quality isn't very good, but it's a huge improvement over their old ones. The 2nd camera looking into the car is an old GoPro Wide. They're pretty crap.

They have 2 buttons so they're easy to use, and the Motorsports Hero version comes with a heap of mounts including a suction cup. I was using a Ram roll bar mount combined with a GoPro tripod adaptor for the main camera, and a GoPro roll bar mount for the 2nd camera.

It's only happy laps, I wouldn't be worried about that. Come to a sprint day or something then go flat through the kink ;)

For those interested, 'helmet mount' goPro kit and LCD backpack, on special at torpedo7:

+11ty. Happy laps is not the time to be finding the braking points, or taking the kink flat...

Dont tempt me. I can see why they put on Happy Laps. It is to tempt people to go to the next level... I SO want to do that.

But i think i will have to wait until my car isnt my daily.

So hurry up and get it all Kleeman'd up already :P I'll have a new Turbroz fitted once I land a new job and even my fat ass will be faster than you.

Lol.

I'm probably not going to.

I'll likely do this:

This:

And call it a day.

That will get it up just over 400. I've heard too many horror stories involving SC 55 engines.

Next car I buy I'll just make sure doesn't NEED any go-fast bits!

I do sprints in my daily ;)

Yea but your daily rocks and is setup for some track work. Mine is good for straight line stuff but when a corner comes up it is all on for young and old.

I will get there tho.

I don't do sprints in my daily, but I do do plenty of track/training days.

Kiwi, let me know if you get that other video you mentioned up!

Will do. I have to edit it coz it is 18mins long. stupid youtube lol

here is video 2... or actually the third one. I havent uploaded the first one as i need to cut it down by three mins lol.

The vibrating noise you here i have worked out is the weathershield on the passenger side flapping in the breeze, the bottom isnt stuck on peoperly lol

im working on the last one ( or first in the series ) now. i might get it up on here tonite.

    • 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/
