Mazda 3 are awesome - mates girlfriend just bought a new one.... and ran a 15.6 at the plex at drag combat...

Thats pretty dam good - oh and thats bog stock.

Do you know the engine capacity on the car that ran the 15.6? Was it 2.3litre?

we have a 2.3l mazda6 and a late 98 protege 1.8l and i reckon the protege goes harder

revs to 6.5k all the time n its reliable as fcuk

ive heard of one driving for 800kms without the radiator cap on n it finally blew a head gasket - was in summer too

was the only case of this happening that ive heard of

but still not as fast as the skyline but thats not always what everyone wants

hehe yeah mel its fun

i get scared drifting in my skyline sometimes, but in the 323 its just fun

prob cos its a front wheel drive but oh well

the 1.8L has a fair bit of torque too

in the wet i can have the wheels spinning for 100-150m down the road in 3rd gear, almost 4th

      R34 GTR 4.11 gears: use R33 GTR speedo sensor?

      By Jumbotron · Posted

      Hi Everyone, I did 4.11 gears in my 34 GTR and only thing that remains is to fix the speedo reading (it reads about 15% higher) using the R33 GTR speedo sensor. Few questions:   1. Does the R33 speedo sensor fit right in to the 6sp getrag? I read it does but wanted to confirm because the speedo sensors between 33 and 34 look quite different   2. The connector on the 33 speedo sensor will not plug into the connector on the getrag. Do I just need to wire the pins together manually?  See pic: https://imgur.com/a/NTDzFe8

      R34 rb25det neo lower timing belt cover bolt part numbet

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Does anyone know how I could find the part number for bolts used with  r34 with rb25detneo engine lower timing belt cover?   my timing cover was rubbed and i fixed it but upon putting the harmonic balancer i see the timing cover is almost rubbing and that is due to previous owners using general bolts and washer rather than the bolts per link below which sits inside the washer and pull the cover in   not sure if those bolts will fit rb25   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326510870741?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAB_7XZxjuciMybdVOTShCs9857686&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=7jIl12glAAAAVfHSSnyxAmSsdRxnAAAAAA

      If the slightly higher internal EGR caused by a high flow cat causes detonation your tuner was way, way, way too aggressive to begin with. Timing scatter is a problem unless you go to a crank trigger, winter vs summer blend has different octane, list goes on.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The H1 Alpha with the 6.6 Duramax is basically the actual powerplant it needs to be remotely ok to drive on public roads. It's just not worth the cost to buy a real one. Humvees look cool but man the reality of them is depressing. Grunts aren't kind to them but they aren't that reliable either, they have horrible payload despite absolutely massive size, zero actual armor against mines/small arms, absolutely anemic naturally aspirated diesels, list goes on.
