Yeah we have a tuners license and I have a mate that builds ECU's and wiring looms for a living, he solders the boards in for a nominal fee :)

Like I said above, if a bunch of you want a board I will organise a groupbuy and should be able to get the price down a little depending on volume. Whoever is interested, shoot me a PM.

Nice power!

hi guys...just swapped my r33 gtst for a silver 97' RS4 on CR-Kai's from a bloke named Jason-he mentioned he knows a few people in the stagea scene so i thought id say hi and am looking forward to poking around in this section a bit more, especially since i know diddly squat bout stags...flicked the r33 as my little brood is growing and it really was a no-brainer as to choosing a better family banger than this.-cheers.

Firstly Welcome to the crowd! Secondly Jason was gonna go manual and sell me his Auto interior console lol guess not anymore haha. Nice car to btw

well, all i can say about jason is that he loves to talk-lol real nice guy though...and youre right mate-he was kind enough to throw in the manual centre console he imported from japan for free-(he was quite particular on how hard they are to find too)... so yeah, when i manage to scrape together the cash to buy a r33 zilla box-(sounds very daunting)-ill probably just flick my auto one over to ya

jeez-let me know when you stumble across one that cheap again mate...anyways i was reading chuckies initial post on shockies which then had me thinking that for my own 1st mod on the RS4 id like to go the way of coil-overs. but then i noticed him mentioning "eye" and "fork" type suspension. So looking online @ shops selling them, would i be correct in choosing this type?--- http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18617&cat=422&page=8

- ta.

nah mate-apparently none of the S1 RS4's came out in a manual option... dont quote me on that though-its only what ive heard. which i think is the reason why jason was re-iterrating to me how hard it was for him to find a manual centre console from japan for it...will be loking @ a manual conversion further down the track though since i have the console part sorted already.

    • 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/
