Well it's that time of the year..

Time to sell the car and get a new one, for tax reasons as it is a work vehicle.

Totally stock looking manual 'silver' gtst with factory rims. A blank canvas to customise or leave as is to avoid unwanted attention.

CONDITION:

102,000kms regular servicing including transmission and diff.

Presently the car has a crease in the rear bumper and a few minor scratches, which will cost about $500-600 to clean up properly and the price reflects this. Interior is good. and it has a factory 7disc CD stacker/tuner and drivers airbag.

MODS.

* K&N Airfilter and modified airbox

* HKS exhaust cam gear

* Ogura Racing Chrome Molly flywheel

* 9 puck ceramic compound clutch

* FGK Super Ti cat back exhaust (very quiet and flows well)

* Custom Stainless steel turbo dump pipe and front pipe, with thermal wrapping.

* Apexi Super AFC II and sought after 95' ecu :D

* Peltier cooler on standard intercooler.

* Whiteline KCA349 diff cradle kit.

* Bosch Motorsport in tank fuel pump

* NOS EFI Nitrous kit (hidden underbonet) with 10lb bottle and 50hp jet. New nitrous solenoid.

The last outing saw the car run 13.3 and has since had a major tuning issue resolved which will has it making easy 12 second power. With larger decent rear tyres fitted 12's will not be a problem without NOS. The NOS activation offers the potential for low 12's and with the simple fittment of the 100hp jet an 11second pass.

Price asking is $21,000 as is. email [email protected] or PM.

i think u should do that 12sec pass before u sell it :P

I'd secretly love to go to the drags again. If I do I'll grab some decent tyres but, I really ought to sell it now because the longer I wait the less depreciation I'll be able to claim on the new car when I get it next tax time.

I'm off to go get my new nitrous solenoid and the bottle gassed up.

hey dude, have ya had any problems with running the NOS? Like do the injectors get iffy? hows the stock ECU handle it?

It's a wet system so the injectors don't do anything extra as the mixture is preset with the kit. Therefore the factory ecu needs to do nothing as well. Works perfectly!

What are the costs like with the Nitrous bottle? Like how long does it last for, how much nitrous does it hold, how much to refill etc etc ?

A 10lb NOS bottle costs around $100 to fill. On a 50HP shot thats 220 seconds of use or 22 full drag runs.

On 100HP shot its 110 seconds or 11 full drags.

you can get larger bottles and if you go for Ozrace kits then BOC gas can fill the bottle cheaper than the NOS brand.

I'm adding a 'soft plume' fogger nozzle to replace the 'fogger 2' style nozzle I presently have, to get the 100hp shot to 'hit' better.

If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to have it running?

I still see overdue stress on internals tho when ya add that to say 325-320kw at the fly without it... i would def need internals i think... good for around a low 11 tho i reckon LOL ;)

    • 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/
