Yeah - the only way you could get a series one in black or in a 5 speed manual, was to get an autech.

It probably wont sell very fast but yeah it is on the market. Not thrilled, its not even for sale for all that much, compared to a lot of others, but its gots ta go!

Im hoping ill get offered a swap for an RSFour + Cash or something.

How about I'll give you my left nut and the eternal gratitude of a fellow Stagea lover?

I'd even consider swapping my anal virginity for it, clean swap, good deal? And dont believe anything dale has to say about that!

OMFG-All hail Bobby!!!

Thats the cleanest engine bay I have ever seen, you could eat yer dinner off it.

You surely must be a front runner in the for sale department across AUS.

I seen some niceish white ones in WA, maybes Grade-3.5 thats nearly flawless except u missed a bit of polish.

Nice-no..very nice example.

thanks for the positive feedback! im hoping to pick up a cheap S1, put a kit on it and some wheels ans springs and drive away with a cool wagon for sub 12k, and spend the rest on my other project.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've been on holiday for a while. Good to hear you got it on the road. Sorry to hear you have to sell it :P

My misses loves our 260RS. She drives it to work everyday. ;) Far more often than I get to drive it :D

Hey Bobbeh,

Just curious as to what mods are done to the car and what power it ended up making? My S1 260 is having final dyno tuning as we speak for max power tune after a msaaive drama with breaking things and rebuilding it!

Cheers

Ben

Like maybe a light green S1 with a nismo kit on it?

just sayin.....

    • 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/
