Haha love the whole danger to manifold thing....bloody last thing to be concerned about imo :D

Yeh that area is pretty nice Clint, I went halfway along somerset a while ago but had to turn back because of juice levels haha

Because manifolds are cheap?

lol no because it's like the strongest part of the whole damn setup provided it's not some cheap chinese p.o.s knockoff with poor welds / no braces :/

Nitrous backfires have been known to explode the composite LS inlets....

Mmm think they only really beefed them up a bit in the 94's yeh? But then and again it's probably not even that bad....I reckon it's the same load of crap as all that ceramic turbo paranoia and myth spreading. I bet that slightly thinner pump drive on the older 32 only failed on a handful of occasions just like the ceramic turbos under extreme conditions way outside of design envelope.

But in saying that I'd only ever want a late model one too...mainly because it's younger ;)

What's happening on Sunday? Was that the bbq/drinks?

Cruise and lunch this time. When the weather is warmer will do bbq and drinks

2nd month 93 I think is when they changed the oil pump setup

Nice, yeh I should be free for this

Chris is spot on. As well as getting the brakes the v spec also got the r33 crank. I have a 33 crank too. On the topic of exploding manifolds, anyone remember when Rhys McGreggor did it on the heat treatments GTR at jambo? Put a huge reverse don't in the bonnet.

I saw a photo of that, white 32?

That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

    • 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/
