yeah it was very interesting without hicas it handled shit within 5 ks i put the fuse back in it would take alot of getting use to.the next cruz there should be more gtrs and i was impressed with the skill of the drivers and especially CHEEKY go girl :D next one hope you can make it shannon

haha thank you.

Yeah i need more practice at hills runs i reckon.. and the same navigators that know the hills roads i been driving helps big time...

If you do go on hills runs, just pm please. Sunday night was 100% tuff. ( I wont go into specifics being a public forum).

toodles.

Hey guys, put me down for the next one aswell.

Its great not having to put with traffic and finding out what the acr is really capable of. I had no wheel squeel on the corners, but am unsure just how much harder I can push the car. (wasnt prepared to find out with so many big trees and such high speeds)

Is there any thought on a track day to help me (and in all honesty probably most of us) furter hone our skills.

Still practice makes perfect, so Ill be back for more.

PS: my brakes came good after the cruise, I had thought I'd warped the rotors after one fast section. Has anyone ever experienced this and have any ideas on how to stop it happening again. (short of having to fit 16 inch brembco's)

clutch? what clutch i dont think i have one any more its bonded solid i think plus there over rated.Its definately on top of my list.N/A i would love a torqe controller but it doesnt do the drive line any good i hear and i enjoy trying to tame the beast and a bit of sideways action at 140 clicks gets the heart pumping and the passangers screaming right BOOSTD. next cruz just a small night crawler friday night but i fin work at 11pm PM meif anyone is keen

Da west side iz da maddest! Screaming you say ...lol I can't hear anything but 21psi now......yeah sideways at 140 is fun...nitto's + GTST = very similar to GTR in the hills---> Pitty I can't stay in my lane tho lol. I'll have to come down to M1's garage and unweld ur clutch. take care buddy

the east side is da best.M1s garage is still going strong done plenty crazy stuff like me mums brakes and setting up a wild fluffy dice system on me mates ghetto we are mad bastards doin the insane :spank:

Hey matty, they are the 555ZR(low profile). I have also used some AVS(yokohama) semi slicks. I was getting wheel spin on acceleration in 4th with 275's. The AVS's were like ice skates until getting some heat into them...and I wasn't keen on doing a burnout for every squirt. The nitto's are absolutely awesome dead cold and in the wet. I only get slight wheel spin in first and second now. Words can't describe the difference. They are not suited to the drag strip however.

no way! get out ! those wild fluffy dice systems are da maddest. Well the sydney based M1 has just installed some thermo fans, cold air, and currently workin on a mega top secret new TO THE EXTREME hybrid turd. I will name him "Mister Hanky"

Have done quite abit of recruiting also. The number of lines on base has almost tripled. M1's(sydney) has been quite busy lately =)

    • 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/
