When are you able to do it, trying to organize fitting with Luke, so it may have to stay awhile at Dion's, or at Luke's. Shall let you know, trying to find a clutch and price first.

It doesnt matter here at all, even if we get the mustang back while its here we can still fit that in there too.

Its just a case of how long you can bare to drive my daily :D

lol, that thread on NS is good value

think knowing that its been uncovered that the user UUP4IT has many users using his account, and he's selling stuff for his mates, is it worth doing anything with him here (i think most people could put 2 and 2 together and work out who he is :D)

lol, the way he writes/his posts gave it away.

to that user: if you read this, just stop posting... you're making yourself more and more of an accessory ya goose.

Update guys.

From painting the engine bay and hoping to have it ready for all jap day, that idea has been scrapped. Engine bay basically got painted then thought Fu*k it, lets take my time not rush it and do something crazzzzzzy.

Engine bay is slowly getting worked on after work, roughly 4-5hrs each night. The front wheel arches have been cut out and getting tubbed :D, im currently grinding back all the seams to be seam welded, takes roughly 10hrs each side to grind out, not including underneath the car yet.

Dropped the fuel tank out tonight and have decided i will be cutting out the spare tyre well and running a fuel cell/drop tank with braided lines ready for e85.

Fuse box/battery will be relocated to the boot.

No pics yet but will be one night soon.

Cheers

Wont be going peddle box Matty, to much effort modifying the seat/gb leaver to fit it in.

Also will be having bracing through out the engine bay and underneath to help the chassis strength.

All fun tho, come out covered in black shit and seam sealer.

    • 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/
