hey guys,

So begins my a long journey to be. I was looking around for a r32 for a while as i had had enough of my e30 bmw and it's never ending issues. Saw this come up on carsales one morning and jumped on it 155000 genuine kms, apexi catback with muffler removed, Tein Super Streets, Volk Gtp's, Greddy turbo timer, Gay raceboi momo steering wheel, Cooling pro front mount, hks pod filter, Super cold A/C, Nismo 550cc injectors, gfb valve which i believe is leaking, Picked it up for the handsome sum of $6000 with 6 months rwc and rego, I drove it up from Brisbane Easter sunday.

Man what a trip dropped into limp home mode twice and popped a front tyre. Got home and found 3 boost clamps loose. So fitted 3 new ones and bolted down the hard pipe. While i was looking around found the fuel pump regulator hose was off so there was another boost leak, the charcoal canister lines were also not bolted up. Previous owner was a pilot in training and had no mechanical idea!!!! Car was bogging down from time to time so i pulled the afm and cleaned it and no more limp home mode YAY!!! Car still bogs down from time to time when going from full throttle to part so i'm thinking bov is leaking. So far im loving it. Fitted 2 new 215/45/17 eagle f1's to the front since i had to replace the popped one with a 235 and it was rubbing. So anyway ON WITH THE PICS

Yeah mate enjoying it so far. Got a few mods planned, getting rid of the hks pod and gettng a apexi dual intake with a cai box. Full service, new pads, new rotors, stainless lines, new coil packs, ebc, new bov, new front pipe/high flow cat and wideband.

Resoldered the afm joints today.... Definetly reccomend it to everyone made a heap of difference. Also stripped the bov wet n dryed it and re lubed it. Helped with the fluttering. Gave it a service with some motul 8100 excess as the old oil was FILTH. New fuel filter and all new fuel hoses. Covered the cross pipe over the radiator with reflective heat tape from work. Don't notice a difference but cleans it up as the old one was tarnished.

Found my cooler was rubbing on my front bar from the shit install job the P/O did. When i pulled it off and had a look i found a lovely suprise. Cooling Pro Coolers ARE SHIT.

    • 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/
