beau, i chased it up with coby last friday - awaiting a response.

yourself and karl are the last two to receive them.

GTR.2NV also lives in Vic and has gotten his.

i'm not sure why you haven't, do you live a bit out of the city center?

karl lives over in WA so it might take slightly longer.

i'll keep you guys posted when i get a reply. in the meantime make sure the postman hasn't left a delivery ticket that someone has accidentally put aside/thrown out.

PM sent to both of you to re-confirm addresses.

eug

Beau, there was an attempted delivery at your specified address on the 24/12/2007 at 13:47PM

Karl, yours was attempted on the 27/12/2007 at 11:44AM

please check if an 'attempted delivery receipt' was left asking you to pick up from your local post office.

you both have been PM'd with tracking numbers!

Eug no need to worry no body blaims you for anything, you were only help :P

the excuse the post office gave me was they are trailing some sort of new ticket system??

i was like yeh what ever give me my pipes.

and they only just fit accross my back seat, was lucky didnt think they would..

so i shall take pictures of my process, should be on by tuesday :thumbsup:

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

this headers thing has turned into quite an expensive investment.

the initial price of $285 plus $170 for heat wrapping then $20 for some thermal paint then $250 to have the flange welded on and have them fitted... :D

i just hope they are worth it or i am going to grumble..

I went into the Local Aus post office and they didnt even have my tracking number in the book or any record of it under express delivery..i then said how there wasnt even a ticket left and the lady serving me thought this was quite strange especially ince i was home the day and time it was suppose to be delivered....

she gave me the number for customer service and they transferred me to someone and they found the details of my item but still didnt understand why its not at the post office or anything..the guy was very helpful and was going to investigate into the matter and track down the driver ect..he took down all my details and gave me a refference number and was going to call me back when he finds out anything.

thanks Eug for everything and yeah its not your fault Aus Post sucksss

..i just really hope they find my extractors.....

DAMN!!!!

im getting my extractors fitted, 3 flanges, 2.25" engine pipe and a bit of flex all for $120 from mettams mufflers in kelmscott

where did you (or where are you going) to get them fitted???

im getting it done with Kirmit off these forums

hes making up the catback as well so thought may as well get him to do the whole thing..

i thought $250 to fit the extractors was pretty steep as i could do it myself..

but if the extractors change the length of the rest of the pipe i need my catback to fit.

and booking it into two different places is just a hassel..

(im the kind of person that wastes money when i dont need to)

ok everyone

so my extractors and new catback go on tomorrow

cant wait! im posting a few pics of my progress..

pic0241zn1.th.jpg

first half of heat wrapping done ^^

pic0244if3.th.jpg

fully wrapped and painted in high temperature paint ^^

pic0245lc9.th.jpg

the paint i bought to seal the heat wrapping and hopefully create more heat protection ^^

after i was done wrapping and painting i had some heat wrap left over.

i remembered the "ghetto foil" idea for the induction pipe and decided that heat wrapping would probably be better and as i had some left i thought i'd try it.

WELL! i highly recommend heat wrapping your induction pipe!

i didnt think it would make much of a difference but i was wrong.

good investment imo.

anyway will let all know how they go afer they are fitted tomorrow

cheers

Karl

    • 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/
