Yes, it belonged to a guy on the forum, Danny.

Brembos, hiflow, hdi intercooler, and obviously those 20's.

I'm sure someone will put up a few links to his mods, I can't, posting from my phone.

Yeah i did a search on here about the seller, mixed feelings about them....Only looking at going through caryard so i can trade my legnum... All depends what i find out about this vehicle i guess :) Thanks for the advice though Duncan

Is there anything wrong with it??????Or someone can get him to contact me.When did he get rid of it and how many kms where on it??

Yup know the car well. ...from memory Danny got rid of it about 2-3 years ago.

Had shonky km's from Japan(nothing to do with EL or Danny).

Had a HDI FMIC - Last time I saw the car the HDI FMIC was not on it....without further ECU and induction modifications this turbo will never work properly.

Had a GCG BB Turbo on it that was very noisy probably due to not having enough oil feed to the barrings.

Had the English translation.

Had 350Z/G35 Brembo's fitted. Spacers also had to be put on the wheels to fit over the brakes....so if you load it up it will scrub.

Had 20" wheels.

Had a HDI boost controller.

Had a complete turbo back Charlsetone Exhaust.

I cannot remember if he had Bilstein or some other brand of suspension fitted. From memory I think it was only springs.

I think that's about it.....Danny sold this car with all of the above and no accident history.

So better off staying away from this then???? Anyone know what haapened to it after he sold it??? Thanks guys for your help

nah...was not a bad car when Danny finished with it! ....all the parts he put on within about a three month period so they were all brand new..... It was sold to a private buyer.....never saw where it went nor was the owner ever on this forum.

there are better ones out there.

they reckon it has approx 80000kms on it and want $17888... its hard they all over priced and high kms in Qld plus i would need to sell legnum first if i was to buy private

i would take craigs advice very seriously. lol

Northshore Prestige in NSW FTW

I'm not saying anything more....but those km's are unrealistic!blink.gif

They told me the person that bought it last year re-traded it back with them for another stagea as they loved them so much!!!!

They must've loved it A LOT if they sold it.:rolleyes:

Only has standard fmic , high flowed turbo and piggy backed so they just emailed me... Phil said one of the quickest he has been in four a while

because that guy is a man of his word and should be trusted *please note sarcasm*

get em to tell you what piggyback.....never had one when I new the car.

P.S. They tried to tell me it had a piggyback as well just after Danny sold it to them...it didn't.

    • 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/
