I can't see the video of this laying 11's up the street, can you upload again please.

All in good time, been away on holidays.

And then?

Took it out this evening up and down beach rd doing hectic flutters like a mad P plater, pissing off all the Karen's from Brighton types. Up to around 550km now and have been getting into it a bit.

On my way home, was turning into my street, there was a couple young bogans in their commos sitting at a red light staring at the 33. Gave it a good clutch kick in 2nd and had it sliding down the street, bogans where frothing at the mouth. Felt fuggin good. Went back a few minutes later to check my work, can confirm 11's where laid. Sorry no video, working on it.

A bit earlier went through one of those mobile phone/seatbelt camera things. I may have been over the speed limit a bit. Anyone know if those f**kers can dish out speeding fines too?

Edit, these type of cameras

 No Speeding fines just phone fine and seat belt warnings for now (that’s in nsw)

From the little googling I've done, seems to be the same here in Vic but you never know if they've sneakily added capability for you know revenue, I mean road safety purposes.

We'll see if I get a notice in the mail over the next few weeks. I think I should be right.

Forgot to mention, chopped a couple gai boys in a Golf R and GTI in my travels yesterday.

These Zestino drift tyres seem to give really good straight line traction. Can almost put all the power down in 2nd gear which is really good. Hot or cold doesn't seem to matter.

Looks like all the hard work paid off, when is the Turbosmart 6262 turbo coming?

Stock pistons brah, not happening. Lol. The most I'd probably go is hypergear hf bb upgrade in an op6 housing and only if the current snail shits itself. Will probably give another 10-15rwkw. My injectors are already just about maxed but could possibly handle the above.

Other option would be like a 3076 or modern equivalent and keep power at 330rwkw or whatever the injectors will allow. Again only if I find myself needing to repair current turbo.

Trying to make grown up, sound financial decisions.

Nothing much has really been going on with this. It's been a case of no news is good news. The 1000km milestone has been reached and all is well thus far. 

Time to change to synthetic oil and send it's mum. Actually before I do any sending, I want to verify the timing. My timing light shit itself so waiting for new one in the mail, will get done once it arrives.

Nice mate, any track days you're looking forward to?

Not ATM. The bug hasn't bitten yet.

Just happy to cruise around in it for now. I'm looking at making it more family friendly by putting a cat back in it, try to quieten it a bit, possibly better less crashy suspension and add child seat. Hopefully then will be able to use it for some Sunday drives with the family and get more usage out of it.

If you need the mounting/restraint points, get them here, they're based in VIC too.

1/2 the price of what wreckers or the numpties on Facebook want to them, not to mention it's brand new.

I've got some of those somewhere, I remember removing them years ago but if I can't find them (likely) I'll grab some of those. Thanks for the lead👍

Haven't done much with this, other than drive once a fortnight. I did drive it every day last week as it was the end of the club reg year and there was plenty of available days left over. Felt good actually using it and giving it a bit of a thrash.

I did confirm the timing a while back, was just under 16° retarded it back to just under 15°. Clocked up around 2500km now. It's been running on the good ol Castrol edge 10w-60. Should probably change it soon as I've not done many long trips and there's probably a fair bit of e85 dilution happening.

In other news got my 'rare' light up garnish working again. Was just a questionable crimp on 1 of the wires. Wire was barely hanging on to the terminal and fell off when I knocked it recently. Re crimped it and it's lighting up like a champ again.

Don't question it, just do a used oil analysis. 

All covered here - https://tinyurl.com/usedoilanalysis

If you do a search on the page for komatsu you'll also see the results/discussion about it etc.

Might just do that. Be good to get a baseline and see how the new bearings are wearing.

I probably should do a compression test, to see if my honing skills where up to the task or maybe it's better if I don't know, lol.

Don't compression test. If it's running fine, don't look for problems, just enjoy!

This.... If it feels slow, just add more boost and pull out timing.

Or add timing until it sounds a bit rattly, then pull timing... Really quickly! :P

    • 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/
