Unfortunately not until new year now, won't start it again without the correct balancer.

She punched out a massive 200hp on 6psi with some terrible timing :rant:

Bonnet didn't shut in the end, fowled on twin turbo pipe, so that's being changed to sit lower.

  • 2 weeks later...
Twin turbo pipe changed, bonnet closes like a dream baby :)

Pick here up monday :)

What pipe are u running out of interest? All i did to mine was remove the twin turbo badge then grind off the boss which held the badge, about 10mm off the height was saved :blush: then craved coatings gave it another fresh coat and it was just enough to clear the bonnet. Have u still cut the bonnet bracing or does your new pipe allow for this?

Hi Marko,

He didn't say (car still in workshop) other than the bonnet closes. He did say he didn't need to cut the bonnet though :blush: i'll see it on Monday and let you know. Great work you were able to make yours fit :)

I can't wait to drive it- it's been 6 months!

hahah, simon i fly into brisbane monday, i'll come drive the 4door home for you, just to get to see the 3ltr gtr up close :D

Haha My 3ltr bottom end gets sent this week finally, yay, so i might start my own 3ltr build thread soon !

Gary

Could you clarify on the "modded mounts" please :banana:

takes about 5mins.... ours literally sits on the xmember... we have to re weld removed material to bring it back up a bit :banana:.

If i drop the xmember 15mms and do you think i could fit this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/r32...at/DSC01070.jpg

hi-mount turbo without affecting the suspension/awd? (HKS kit which currently needs the bonnet frame hacked to clear)

Same turbo kit as this car

i dont think dropping the engine 15mm will solve the problem - besides that, when the engine twists under load it will still touch the bonnet bracing.

are u sure u want to drop the engine lower? ...i was advised by rob @ rips not to do this as it changes the geometry of some of the important components i.e. cv joints

Cheers for that Marko, guess i have to find another way to make it fit :D

sorry for hi-jacking your thread Simonster

well i cut my bonnet to fit my rb26/30 (to clear the cam shaft covers & twin turbo intake pipe) - if u dont like the look of cutting the bracing u can simply just refit the bonnet insulation & u wouldn't even know it has been modified :D

    • 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/
