I don’t really want to sell the car (hence the price :P) but if someone is serious then I guess I’d let it go. Even with the current price of R33s you couldn’t build this car for the asking price (thats based on a purchase price of $7000!)

Car was last tuned to 467 rwhp and some ridiculous amount of torque(I’ll find a dyno sheet). That engine expired, the only surviving parts being the head and rods. It has since been rebuilt by Daniel Kent at Elite Racing Developments and has been on the dyno for 30 mins to check the AFRs and set a rev limit for run in. The rev limit had to be set at 3200rpm as the car is making 14psi at 3500rpm. The new engine sounds a lot smoother than the original one (built for a track car - I bought it 2nd hand – it had a few laps on it so was always going to be a hand grenade I guess). The tuner says this engine feels stronger than the old one so I’d expect some decent numbers once it’s run in.

I’ve owned the car since Feb 2004 and built it from a car with an exhaust, MBC and SAFC to what it is now. It has been religiously maintained during its time with me (maybe that’s why I’m divorced now...) and even though I do track the car occasionally I don’t abuse it. Oil is changed every 5000km with Motul 8100 excess, brake fluid is Motul RBF600, Redline gearbox oil, diff oil changed about 50000km ago

I’ll put the usual “no time wasters” bit here, but I doubt anyone would be interested because their cousins friends uncle probably knows where they can get the same car heaps cheaper.

Seriously though, there will be no test drives, anyone seriously interested can ride as passenger, pay for a dyno run or hand over a serious deposit.

Sad to see you sell it Waz.

If anyone needs any more specific details I can be contacted on 38072789 or email at [email protected]

This thing is seriously an ANIMAL!

A few of the details up top are incorrect like Cam gear is on the exhaust side, and the engine is completely run in, has done just over 1000km and still retains my warranty up to the 5000km mark.

Thanks Dan :down:

I spotted a few errors after posting originally but the stupid "no edit after X mins" means it now can't be changed

A bit more info. Just drove from Brisbane to Sydney - 35 degree day, oil temp sat at 80 degrees the whole way, oil pressure sat on 90 psi @ 3000rpm the whole trip, fuel consumption was 8km per litre (12.5L per 100km) consistently with mixed driving and aircon on about 50% of the time.

The car will be in Sydney until Monday if anyone is interested.

Thanks Dan :)

    • 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/
