Can anyone one tell me how strick are WSID for the wednesday night off street meets?

like they say there is scrutineering of your car and that, i mean my car passed rego but its not all that legal - same as most of you i guess.

one major thing i was worried about was the exhaust noise, it says you cant have it louder than 98db. i dont know how loud mine is but when your wastgate dumps out a screamer pipe its certainly not elevator music!

so yeah just wondering if anyone had run their car in a wednesday night street meet ar WSID and could tell a bit about how it goes down

Cheers

lol true....but the fact is that no car with a turbo wheel stuck in the exhaust is anywhere near as noisy as an n/a car with a big exhaust :P

Have you seen anyone banned for breaking the noise limit?

Also 98 db is damn loud....and how far away is the testing point.....also I bet it is to the side of the track and not behind where the exhaust is pointing :)

Hmm .. heard the Pac MX6 lately? Last time the turbocharged Bavariacars sport sedan was testing at Eastern Creek we got pinged for 121 dB down the straight!

i think the 98bd regulation is for street meets only. not for pro drags like the mx6.

its one of those things to make sure your car is actually a street car.

I know mine is louder than 98db at the screamer pipe. no restiction just 45mm wastegate off the manifold to a 2" by 4" pipe. ooooh its soooo good. even makes the V8 drivers turn their heads.

WSID now don't even scrutineer clean looking street cars. A few officials stand at the front of the staging lanes. If you have a rotor / really modified car, they'll send you off to the scrutineering shed.

Otherwise, they just inspect your helmet and write the numbers on your car, and off you go into your lane.

A pretty good idea really :)

    • 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/
