jangles- i dont think it would make huge difference tbh! if i notice a changle will opt for a cage and bracing etc

thanks edge!

gonna steal a camera from work for a night so i can take some pics n upload em at work :)

got some other gear for it too today!

cusco brake master cylinder

hicas lock bar

nismo smoked indicators

fkn thing died in the garage today and wouldnt jump had to go down to burwood 24hr kmart n get a battery so i can drive it to work tomoz n get my roady done! $50 for a 14 day driving permit! wonder how many times ill get pulled over down bell st in the morning lol

yeah no cage till less than 10,99

wont do it till i am forced to! had a cage in my 34 and wasnt down! great for twistys really stiffened the f**k out of my car but caused way way too much attention!

small update

last nite i installed a hicas lock bar

dropped the exhaust out as well

tonite ill be starting work on

3 apexi guages and control box

greddy turbo timer

shift light

nardi torino wheel with quick release

carbon console lid!!

ill have my pwr radiator and garage defend cooling panel on thursday and gonna have a go at them as well!

forgot how good it is working on cars its been way too long since i got into 1

forgot it was my mums bday today so had to do the family wog thing and didnt get down to the factory/workshop till 9 still got the guage pod in (nightmare job)

this week a friend of mine (electronics genious who is very pedantik n i rk has o.c.d) is gonna connect em all up n hide all the wiring nicely!

atm waiting on a shit load of stuff to rock up! mainly interior n exterior parts (varbon mainly)

got my roady done last week so can do my victorian rego next couple weeks!

gonna do a major service on my car this week as wekk coz its been 2500kms and 3 months since last one!

the car prob wont get driven before this engine comes out but wanna take good care of it for storage!!

smallish update!

last nite i got the pillar twin guage pod in!

mounted 2 guages in there and another onto left hand side of the dash!

got the guage control unit and turbo timer mounted in the cavity where the ash tray should live!

ran into a couple of dilemnas though! :(

after wiring all the guages and boxes up we confirmed we need to extend the wiribg! sone by 2 inches and a couple are quite a big extension they need!

i want all the wiring hidden so it needs to be a bit longer in some places to reach!!

carbon console lid is done! however the original console plastic locking clip was a bit dodgy from the beginnin....needless to say i need a new one!

installed the steering wheel! removed it after 5 seconds coz the quick release makes it sit way too close to me! removed and put it on without the quick release n its wat better

went away for the long weekend so didnt touch it myself

however my mate was doing a bit of maintenance work on it for me! just making the current engine nice n healthy

changed all this stuff

gates racing timing belt full kit

gates power steering belt

gates water pump belt

gates ac belt

fuel filter

oil filter

installed trust relocator kit

new silicone radiator hoses

new plugs

all oils changed etc

found some faulty stuff too so ordered

new coil pack loom - original one looks a little dicey

water hose off one of the turbos - as above

i know its not a "build" update but maintaining it is just important i rkn

ill b back down there tomorrow after work hopefully get a couple photos :)

  • 2 weeks later...

been rather busy n havnt done much with the GTR unfortunately :(

have had all the wiring extended now but have just put it in the car nothings connected up!

changed front bumper indicators to nismo white ones looks fkn porn :)

ive also taken a fair few pieces off of the car which will be redone in carbon fibre!

hope to have a more decent update over easter holidays

    • 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/
