Hi

link you put up is not right Front Shockes have EYE not like them,

look at car before you buy,

like Man con :whistling: Why spend $$$ just shift kit box & drive :thumbsup:

waste money you will never get back,

thats why Jason started getting rid of bits he brought ,waste of time & money ,

thanks chuckie... heres the actual page i got that link from - http://www.justjap.com/store/home.php?cat=270&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&page=8, any chance you could point out which one exactly would fit my ride?-im not exactly sure as to what i should be looking for on my car to discern a "fork" or "eye" type setup...or am i just a moron coz its usually THAT obvious?-cheers mate.

not sure what you have in S1`s

so you need to talk to lads with S1s ,

Cheers

Look under the back of your car at the rear hubs, you should be able to easily see where the shocks bolt to the hub and discern whether it is an eye or a fork.

thanks mate-took a pic of the rear right just in case to confirm...lucky i did too coz i only just noticed my front right CV boot is cracked-gutted-probably change it when i go to replace the suspension.

I do believe that looks like an eye ;)

Craig how`s the 2 wheel drive going :whistling: ,

nice to get you out & start to see some of Perth Hills :thumbsup: .

Bubba any news on BOX :unsure: .

called past steve`s no answer pinch.gif .

There's none in Perth :( Best Steve can do for me is a RWD s2 auto or 34GTT auto after Easter, and then I'll have to try swap the guts into my casing >_<

Yeah car's still in 2wd mode - will plug it back in soon. Spark plugs are still giving me grief, and it's time for a decent cat because it's feeling really restrictive. Cheers for the blast through the hills Sat night - sorry to hear your g/box is shagged Bubba :( - it was put under a little bit of stress.

lol I think little is an understatement :(

It seems like the tranny oil pump at this stage but I'm not holding my breathe for the internals to have survived very well..

Thanks to chuckie for towing me home as I still couldn't get any gears :/

Had a blast nonetheless! :D

But.. I think the quicker and cheaper ride is going to be dropping the engine back in the 32 :blink: will worry about it all after easter!

    • 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/
