I got the HKS Silent Hi-Power exhaust fitted today at Hills Motorsports. Probably a good thing I paid to get it put in as some bolts were quite stuck, to be expected on a 16 year old factory exhaust.

Sounds great around about 3-4000 RPM, very quiet on idle compared to the factory system.

Finally reunited with mine last Tuesday after 2 months off the road.

Now sporting a rebuilt transmission from Kewish. Never realised how much I enjoyed my until I had to drive a 2" raised Prado for a couple of months (good car, but that handling :()

What happened to box?

What happened to box?

Hit a 'roo.

Impact caused leak in lines which I couldn't see, being just after 1am.

Got home, no fluid in box.

Much better now though.

Downside is that it also tore apart the harness leading to the EGR sensors.

Wiring was worked on but still get engine light so may need a replacement harness... too bad it is the same harness that runs along the top of the engine :(

Lakes101 awesome work mate!!!!

Love the strut brace? where can I get one from for the Axis?

Love the catch can mounting, interesting location thats for sure.

Regarding the cooler install, how much of the reo bar did you have to chop out and mod?

There is no chopping or modding required with the Hdi front mount.

Hi Guys!

I thought you might be interested to see what I've been doing to my Stagea in the UK. I know Stageas are big in Oz but we have quite a good scene here and I'm aiming to build one of the best:

Here she is, just back from the bodyshop:

That's 19x12" rears with 355 tyres BTW!

cheers mate. The strut brace is a g35 one from the U.S. Can't remember where I got it from most likely conceptz

    • 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/
