Weight reduction ^^^ Nice. ;)

Today I engaged in some weight reduction also by doing a fairly half arsed Vac on the Wagz. (First since purchase)

Need to use my Whole Arse next time. :laugh:

INB4 asshole comments.

I also Transported 2 Canaries across the border from QBN. Bet ya'll can't honestly say that!

INB4 Canary Shelving / Budgie Smuggling comments. :O

Pulled the Drivers side Door lock / latch (fiddly f**ker!) out of the Wagz and had a play with it, hit it with some silicon spray and reassembled.

Seems better and hopefully now it will Unlock with the Key EVERYTIME! as opposed to maybe sometimes. :/

So Far ^^^ So Good! ;)

Put in some Ti courtesy light lenses (red outside / clear in the middle) to replace the all red ones in the front doorcards and put Blue Leds in them.

Twiddled with the TPS a little more (might improve gear changes slightly) and am Trying to get the rear demister working.

The list of things to do is Never finished. :D Still gotta do Balljoints and tie rod ends, Steering column bush, rear bushes, diff oil, exhaust, brake rotors, Trans cooler, Temp gauge Fix or aftermarket install etc...

the 33 needs a new alarm siren put in, Walbro installed and AAC valve clean, maybe old front shocks back in and that oil cooler I still don't have.

Install my cooling pro FMIC? LOL!

Yep.. That list should keep you busy for a little while :P

Yeah at some stage I'd like to get a new security system installed in my car.. Not sure how decent the current one is.. :S

Discovered this eve the reason the Wagz Rear demister wasn't working was the Relay in the drivers kick panel was unplugged.

It seems that whoever installed the aftermarket Cruise Control decided to just plug a single spade connector into the 4 slot plug that should connect to the relay. :/

Plugged it back in and what do you know? The relay Clicks when the demister is switched on and I actually get a Voltage reading at the connectors on the window.

Morning will tell if it's working properly. ;) Now I just need to get power to the Cruise again.

I've gotta say though, as good as SAU is for info on our various R32s, R33s R34s etc...

R31 Skyline Club (with the obligatory searching / fishing thru the crap) generally has the 31 goods or at least can point you in the right direction. :thumbsup:

Had a look at the roof racks that came with the Wagz. Seems I'm missing one of the rubber pads to mount them. I'll try to source one.

(Anyone have some old ROLA Roof Racks laying round?)

Didn't stop me from putting one on though.

Roof Spoiler? I like it. :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/
