S2 for 17k next to Yamaha World on South Rd overpass, at the VW Car Yard opposite the Mazda dealership.

S1 for 11k in the small car yard right inbetween Adtrans and the Fire Dept. at crn South Rd / Daws rd.

meh - Id rather a Stagea ;)

1997 Stagea's can be had for like 15k onroad freshly imported. Generally with around 80000kms etc, twin sunroof, AWD, most are auto tho.

Plus I highly doubt youd be harrased by the LAW when driving a Stagea ;)

this one's for you Nozila - the LAW thinks a Stagea is a cheap-mans Volvo! :D :sorcerer: :D

Tried carsales fella? always plenty for sale on there, even thought about a 34?

Yeah looked over most of the car sale sites and trading post and local paper. Got one lined up now :)

edit: btw thanks everyone for the advice and help, the forums have so much good info in them :)

Vange, mate I just noticed that you have an external wastegate. As in screamer pipe?

no idea, have a look next time and tell me, the exhaust place got all excited (when i first got car got new cat)when they saw some tube coming our of the turbo and connecting to the exhaust pipe n they called it an external wastegate lol, so im assuming its somthing good.

Sounds good mate just make sure and keep looking around anyway as you may find a bargain, also make sure they do all tests on the car to make sure its all good.

no i dont think youve got a screemer pipe you would know about that

and isnt your turbo stock?? therfore your wastegate would be internal

im thinking just a fancy dump pipe

here is a pic :)

the top pipe goes around the exhaust pipe and re-re connects about under the gearbox.

also the turbo looks diff from others...i dunno lol, the rust doesnt look normal either! haha

    • 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/
