@Dose Pipe Sutututu 2 relevant topics-

A)  Buy a new model RS3, amazingly raw, fun car.  Better than that BMW plastic shite.

B)  I see on your I/O report you've got Tacho Signal out.  Does the Haltech convert the signal to the proper signal for the R33 or do you need one of those converter boxes that Haltech sell?

Cheers.

RS4 is great and all, but I have some inner bogan/hoon and like RWD or at the very least a RWD selectable car hence I own a GTS-t shit box. 1st car was Toyota Lexcen aka Commodore VN with Toyota badges lol.. 

I "think" the Haltech outputs direct to the OEM dash without any converter box (factory or aftermarket).

I have been invited to a private track day this month at Luddenham, should be fun :) 

have you driven the track before? its a good fun track, but more orientated to lower HP cars as its pretty tight and short straight

Will be the first time, should be interesting provided I actually go 🥲

I can imagine I wouldn't even need 3rd now with the 8600rpm limiter lol.

Yeah I think I touched on 4th (like top out 3rd, pull 4th, just before braking back to 3rd and turning into turn 1) in my 32 but you have twice the power than me so will make it interesting lol

my first time on the track, just after getting the 32. tyres were 3yr old NT01's, rotors were cactus, pads were street pads.
You can see the vibrations when I hit the brakes lol. After this is when I put new BDA rotors, Hi Temp Brake fluid and Intima type 2 pads. Wow what a difference

Found an hour free from the kid & wife, decided that I needed to have a selectable rev limter for skid pans (which I go here and there).

Knowing a high RPM on a wet skid pan will just result in too much wheel speed, having a selectable mang mang limiter essentially will limit the wheel speed when I'm bashing 2nd gear :) 

1x can button, 4x limiters:

  • 7000 rpm
  • 7500 rpm
  • 8000 rpm
  • 8600 rpm

Sweet, I bet you cant wait.
Got a camera or laptimer or anything like that in the car?
I use Harry's Lap Timer on my iphone and a Ram Mount windscreen suction cup, works well 
Does video with cool data overlay

Kind of can, I have a feeling there will be max level of anxiety on the day lol...

I have a Garmin VIRB which tracks a few data points such as laptime, speed, Gs, etc.

    • 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/
