Why on earth can i not edit my posts anymore even though I started the topic..

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any hicas arms they do not want?

One of mine is bent (passangers side from front) and my lock bar allows me to attach the arms.

I'm not sure if anyone would notice this as it topic says control arms, which i want to change to hicas arms.

Cheers!

New editing policy is preventing you from touching your own topic after 2 hours.. complain in the "bugs / suggestions" section, i know i have :)

Do you mean ur lock bar doesn't allow you to attach the arms yah? Are you 100% they are bent, or have you assumed that because it seems impossible to thread the end into the lockbar?

I ask, as I it took me some good dicking around to get both sides in, and then the bar attached to the subframe.

Sorry GeeTR wasnt specific. My lockbar can have the arms attached, but one of mine is bent. I have had the engine removed and decided to have the hicas completly removed (and attached a highflow line front powersteering rack to where ever to get the power steering working again) and i am putting the lockbar in.

I just am looking to see if anyone has brought a rear cradle or something and has a spare arm lying around, and also whether the left hand side arm differs from the right.

THANKS!!

So it is bent - oh boo! :)

As a side topic, its a shame, even with teh lockbar in, that those arm ball joints still wear over time. Would be good if someone made up a way to SOLIDALLY lock them in place in fashion that negated wear. :)

Good luck, try SSS automotive wreckers and such.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      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).
