My thoughts Exactly !!! Cannon is for the Kids and Mind Meltingly loud with the Bung out.

Couldn't pass this up at 99% new. 3" in and out into Twin 3" tip.

It's stainless but I'll just get a Mild Steel pipe welded on.

I know I'm gonna Love it. :D

Same brand as make of car - wow, coool

What you mean? Do Speco make the stock gauges / cluster?

I like them cooz they look very close to stocker style. (like we were talking about recently.)

ARCE!

It's one of these. ---->> http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=11290

Gauges will look tidy as I think. No bells or whistles. Just Gauges. Undecided whether to light them up Blue or Red.

Edit* We'll see if $150 worth of gauges works for longer than $45 worth. LOL

Ebay! ---->> http://stores.ebay.com.au/999autoshop/GAUGES-/_i.html?_fsub=3538745016&_sid=1100003286&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

This guy had all 3, others only had 2/3 matching. I think I got my Belts or Cam Cover Seals from them too. :unsure:

In yet ? Keen to C

Maybe later Big Fella. Too Knackered lastnite.

Rob,

i have a 3" stainless flange if you want it.

Actually got 2 but youd only need one right?

Thanks Mik but I asked the guy (Roadway Exhaust) what the best way to go would be.

a) Cut the Cannon off and put a flange on it + the pipe + the muffler.

He reckoned too Many Flanges. I told him you can NEVER have too many Flanges. *giggles*

b) Weld a pipe and flange onto the Muffler.

This he is going to do.

Mild steel pipe is half the price of Stainless and will last ten years.

One of these things is Not like the other...

I didn't realise til I pulled the Boost Gauge out (last) that they don't match.

I specificaly went for the ones with the black dealy on the needle.

Oh well, I'll put them in anyway and maybe buy another one. If anyone is keen for an all Red Needled one, perhaps we can do a trade or something.

Yeah steel is the smart choice.

but i mean the muffler, isnt that stainless, do you need a flange for it, or has it already got one?

just they are $40 each and ill never use these, so rather than pay for one, get mine for nothing.

If you need it.

The Stainless muffler will be welded to a Steel Pipe which will need to bolt up at the diff, so I guess the Flange will likely just be a Mild Steel one. I probably don't really need it as the whole welding/ bolting is only $120 to do.

But if I get him to do the multi-flange choice a) then I would need 3 flanges to be able to swap from muffler to cannon at will.

Maybe can I get both from you for $$$ just in case? or grab them and if I don't use them, I'll give them back to you. :D

Sweet! :thumbsup:

Gauges are in (Not all sensors hooked up yet) but the boost gauge works well. Snappier response than my old Type-R Ebay jobby.

Will have to do some trickery to get some Red or Blue leds in them but for now we have Default Bulb Glow.

looks good rob, you got me thinking - i reckon thats the gauge I will go with in my spare DIN slot - did you get the electronic gauges?

Also; http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SPECO-50MM-METER-STREET-SERIES-2-0-30-PSI-MECHANICAL-BOOST-VAC-GAUGE-/331041375905?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d139a86a1 looks like the boost gauge equivalent

Mechanical boost and electric water and oil temp.

That's the gauge I wanted and the guy I got from.

I have sent him a message about the mismatch. :(

I like them. :D

    • 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/
