that's good. wish I coulda paid the Ex out in 2 weeks.

Helga only cost 5k and I only borrowed 2k - so was an easy repayment :3 !

However, Rosie was 12k and had to pay that off in 6 months. (Mighty fast repayments - however, it's through Dad which is interest free. So no complaints).

If you're fine with it - I would really like to see your R34's power some time (Maybe when you're heading over to Rob's one weekend). Kind of wanting to see what power I'll be dealing with if I go through with it. I'll even take the back seat if need be haha :P

I was there last Sunday thinking you would be

take the keys it's insured :P (are you?)

:( ! And Rob invited me around on the weekend after Friday night ! When are you heading back over? I'll have to plan on going around as well.

Haha life insurence !

In short:

Personally I think they look good, they do very little, if anything (at least the ones we buy - and at our power levels)

good quality engine and gearbox mounts is where it's at

having said that I'm likely to put one for the wank factor or as I like to think the good looks.

Folks who don't know better will like them when they look in the engine bay

arse wipe rev heads will ask WTF coz they know everything. Especially if it's not the "right brand" with real heavy pressure in the damper

has anyone got any experience with engine torque dampers? Do they actually do anything or what?

If no track time/not massive torque then sploosh factor. I just bought nismo ones as i tore 1 of mine at a track day two weeks ago.

Was helga that r33 with the stuffed rails

Shiny bits.

Someone somewhere ( so it must be true :laugh: ) said they help your engine mounts live longer ?

dunno, ive got one and i still dont know.

Rosie if you want a turbo aswell to achieve that i have a rebuild Hiflow turbo by Hypergear which i will be taking off my car soon thats if you want it cheap.shaft play is still within the tolerances. HKS actuator

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • 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).
