That's just how long you gotta wait mate, to be honest I'd be very very very surprised if Sean or Andy know who I am before I rock up with my car and they've both tuned it many times. Got nothing to do with you not having had your car tuned there before.

As for how long it takes, generally if it's JUST a tune and it all goes according to plan then it's done by about 3-4pm if you drop it off first thing in the morning. But there's also a chance you don't get it back that day, it depends how they go with the other cars they have booked in. And if you're having other work done, ie. turbo install + tune or something like that then forget about getting it back on the same day, that's usually between 2-3 days.

In short: plan to be without the car for a few days, if you get it back sooner then that's a bonus.

Yep, gonna be my wheel nut bitch again Brendah?! Might let u take the big girl out for a lap or 2 if ya good so bring you helmet. Will be running the street wheel/tyre set-up tomorrow, so there'll be no lap times broken :down: Too lazy to change em over for a half day track day.... and hung over.

Bringing the HQ out for a few laps now you have your new shockies n brakes sorted?

Righto guys and girls!
Now that I'm finally back in action with the blue monster, my first track day will be the 14th June.

My old man is also planning on having the GT-R back out with his repaired front end and new oil cooler so it should be a very good show of RB noise and father - son banter if nothing else ;-)
Keep in touch on here in the mean time gang and let me know if you can make it out.

Usual deal: 9AM - 5PM, full length clothing, closed shoes, good helmet etc All details are on www.wascc.com.au

Hoping to encourage some new comers this year, so let's keep communicating and encouraging each other on here and how ever else we can.

Cheers,

Bren

Wes that's a bumber mate! Wish I could be at the one before as well but I'll be working away. We should catch up this break if you're free mate.
That's great to hear Bryce! Look forward to seeing you's out there. Keep an eye out for us Blake boys and the bay side blue R34, and come say hello ;-)
I'm pumped already. I've decided I'm just going to run my current old R888's totally into the ground because it will be my first track time with the new blue monster so no point in trying to brake lap records so to speak - I just want to learn to control the power and get comfortable with the new set up (hopefully without heading off the track and wrecking the new paint/body kit) haha
Talk soon lads
Brendan

Went on my first track day last night in prep for yours Bren :)

Only did short track as it was raining during the day.

Got a Flat 60 seconds exact for the short track, not sure if that's good or not, but it was my first time ever on a track racing :)

Really good fun!!

Car went great!! No Issues!

Hey Bryce. I've been in touch with the boys and it looks like everyone I've been talking to is going to make it - despite the threat of a few possible scattered light showers. Are you and your mate still looking good to be there this Friday? There's 5 confirmed hypo skylines going to be there so far - all big hp and nice set ups too, which will be awesome for the camera footage.
Cheers
Bren

Hay bren, me and my mate will be there in our r33's, can't wait :) hopefully good weather comes our way to

Cheers Bryce

Hay bren, yeah mate I'm still going, mate has dropped out in the other r33 , so that's a bummer, coz his car would of been added on the hypo skyline list :) but couple of other mates are coming. Can't wait to hear all the rb's on full noise tomorrow, sounds like it's going to be a awesome day. cheers bryce

    • 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/
