If you are looking for a cheap (but clean) M35 Stagea, or know someone who wants one...check out my sig.

Its a 2003 model, RS4 (AWD, VQ25DET), stock, and in excellent condition.

If you were looking at C34's, at least come and take a look at an M35 - you will be impressed. :/

324mm wilwood brake kit installed, again

20x 50mm extended wheel studs needed (+ spacer) to get rim over calipers

charging a very flat (new) battery then out for skids

well, bed in brakes and new ku36 tyres anyhow

wat size spacers are you gonna run to clear Brendan? Safer option would be to get new rimzzz

yeah I know, 3 sets of rims Ive got didnt fit past the calipers, havent got the funds atm to buy new rims seeing the marriage is finished, house for sale & walking away with $0

decided best for my 2 kids to have my half of the house sale, would rather them have a rooftop for as long as they need

got to write up a legal document to safeguard their half, f**ked if the ex will take everything, shack up with someone else who then rips her for half of MY assets

50mm extended wheel studs all round with 10mm spacers

used to use them, been around mallala last October and used on road for half a year, should be aok with these long studs tho

one day will get rims that clear the calipers, just cant at the moment

f**king GTR's!!! Almost finished, turbos bolted on, all that's left to do is plumbing and dumps then I'll be set! Massive props to Simon for lending a hand; I know you want to see the end of it as much as I!!!

i hear ya brother

what was supposed to be a 1 week job (max) has turned into 3 weeks and ongoing... thanks in no part to a douchebag powdercoater who cant keep a schedule if it bit him in the face

checked in today, gaskets and "issues" sorted, exhaust was to be bolted on just before I left with just intake piping to go.

and then its off to boostworx for a tune. probably wont get the car back till next week.

oh 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/
