Mazda 3 are awesome - mates girlfriend just bought a new one.... and ran a 15.6 at the plex at drag combat...

Thats pretty dam good - oh and thats bog stock.

Do you know the engine capacity on the car that ran the 15.6? Was it 2.3litre?

we have a 2.3l mazda6 and a late 98 protege 1.8l and i reckon the protege goes harder

revs to 6.5k all the time n its reliable as fcuk

ive heard of one driving for 800kms without the radiator cap on n it finally blew a head gasket - was in summer too

was the only case of this happening that ive heard of

but still not as fast as the skyline but thats not always what everyone wants

hehe yeah mel its fun

i get scared drifting in my skyline sometimes, but in the 323 its just fun

prob cos its a front wheel drive but oh well

the 1.8L has a fair bit of torque too

in the wet i can have the wheels spinning for 100-150m down the road in 3rd gear, almost 4th

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
