Nah sorry mate no pics, also, i have the stock rear pipe & muffler on atm.

Last thing i needed was the missus sitting in the car next to me for 3 day asking why i spent 4k to make the car "noisier" :P

When i get back ill have it refitted, that way i can go the straight pipe or mid muffler or whatever suits me. Ill take some happy snaps then too!

installed complete squid conversion headlights with xenon's as my old set had the conversion to suit normal off the shelf globes.. was gaaaay.. and were so yellowed. new set came off a c34 with about 80000kms.

Got some custom plates waiting to go on " MR C34".. Currently have "RSC 304".

possibly buying a s2 NA grille.

Last week i replaced the plugs in our m35 cos it ran like crap. Sure enough the electrode gap opened to almost 1.5 mm. And was blowing the boost out.

Now it really hammers. Turns out the combo of hiflo turbo and turbo back exhaust cranks boost to 16 psi (installed new gauge too).

But then 3 days later i go ahead and stack it on the way back from work.

So now its in the panel shop

Replaced the passenger side Cam Angle Sensor cause ANNOYYYINNNGGGG!!!!!!

bout 2 weeks till hypergear highflow goes in so i'm trying to get the car running as best as i can by then :P

new stuff from RU with love) 50 mm core CSF race radiator, SPAL fans, CNC custom made brackets. replacing 38 mm all-the-aluminiun no-name radiator and full-frame plate for fans (worked well, but i can't sit without new parts - i'm cooling fan)

old one:

am i right with welding temp sensor in upper bank?

fans are precisely regulated by PWM controller, which reads from 1/8 NPT sensor (i use OEM, same as ECU's main)

Looks good Erop! Any significantly measurable drops in temperature?

I popped another OEM AFM yesterday (I think that's my third?), I was only 1km from home though - so not too far to limp it. I fortunately had one of Scottys 'after market' units on hand so I swapped that in & it was happy days. Haven't bothered to clear the code yet, but its driving fine ;)

    • 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/
