There were some dudes up at houghton last night drifting in the  middle of the road.. AE86's i think.  I was on the way up to my mums.. they were taking it pretty seriously by what they were doing.... I wonder if it was in preparation for saturday?

Came down my road (range rd nth) the other day too - Blue AE86, plates where NA 1600, driving like he thought he was Shcumacher

I'm sure in the near future a gum tree or another car will remind him that he is not....................

And I wonder why my neighbours and people on our roads think all jap car drivers are doing crazy shit like this all the time

Doesn't give the public a good perception of jap car enthusiasts, and we wonder why everyone is getting pulled over and harrassed by cops

I had a cop waiting at the top of my drive not long ago, I approached him in my car and asked him what he was doing -

"We had a call some people where driving dangerously and one almost hit another car" fair enough I reckon, shit like that on public roads isnt the right thing to do, and if people get caught, bad luck

In the end, its just going to get to the point where there will be so much attention from the cops due to a few people, owning a import will not be worth it

Couldnt of been better said chris, i look at other sa forums and all hey brag about it there sik drifting the previous night at various sa locations. Then ill look a few hours later and see, f**kin cops, i got defected etc....

Its a waay to often senario which seems the real enthusiasts such as some of us get burnt while the others keep ruinin it for us all.

I agree Chris, some people dont have a clue, I see alot more holden and ford drivers doing crazy sh1t on the roads - and not in modded cars either, usually the heaps of crap.

When the imports are all off the road, they will only have local built cars to pick on. People will drive like d1ck heads no matter what cars they are in, its the driver not the car.

I know people that thrash their commodores up through the hills, so its not the unique domain of the import owner. Hell some drunken d1ck in a ford decided to do a reverse gear burnout through an intersection and just about hit Deans car (I was passenger) one night during a cruise.

If your neighbours think its just jap car drivers, then they are unfortuneately stereotyping. Not much anybody can do about that - its human nature somewhat.

So true guys, but its falling on deaf ears. How long have people been doing burnouts and racing on streest for? Since 50's? 60's?

So why has it become a problem associated with "Import" cars and their drivers when we all know stick basically anyperson in ANY car and they still will try do those stupid things.

And this now gets me to the whole consfication of cars that may be introduced, which i know will target import cars.....

And steve, yeh i remember that bogan, and ur sik navigation skillz

Anyone go today?? I liked the grey R32 (no biased opinions here :)) Also thought the white Dr30?? was pretty cool. So was James and Trent though :P

Damn that rally spec commie can go at it:) If they made em like that from the factroy i would sell the line :(

Mark's 33 Is NUTS tho hahaha

Pitty about it kissin the wall tho it is a sweet car.

JMS had some SUPER bad luck, Danny with a failed gearbox and christian not making it.

Have to say as well the D1 Garage Car's gave me an eyegasm when i saw them haha, and the skill they have is nuts!

Yeah Kelly's Gray 32 is nut's he has alot of skill to, and just to top it off.....

Riddle me this.....

Why the hell was that peice of crap ford out there i mean that Commie had skills but i mean please, i'll get my mum out there in the Laser next meet and she will do better haha

    • 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/
