I read not to long ago that the guy actually died.

He wasn't driving at the time, he actually had a friend driving because he was intoxicated.

The friend lost control and hit a tree passenger side on.

Yes, he did, he lived on the margin.

There are many life situations, so i abandoned my blog here for some extent period. To begin with, i was on the verge of selling my car, but, thank God it didn't happen...and i continue. Having looked in my pocket i got that only ECU i can afford for that sum of money is APEXi Power Fc.

As friend of mine said "the best ECU is, you local tuner can handle." I bought ECU and commander, for tune i need dataloggit also, so i have a question - should i buy it to tune whenever i need or just lend it for tune and do furthermore adjustments by commander ?

Also i aggregate lots of small things like gaskets,belts, shims,sensors like EGT, oil temp, etc. My woman will get my arse burned and kick me out of home - because i spent alotta money :whistling:

Quality control !

Welcome back mate, good to see you back here!

The Power FC is certainly a very capable ECU still. Your tuner should have no issues with this but I would leave all the tuning to him and not fiddle with anything afterwards without getting the go ahead from him, that is if he is a competent tuner.

One last thing, more pics!

Thanks Josh !

Sure, all tune will be conducted by tuner. i'm wondering - should i make adjustments afterwards, depending on weather conditions ?

Pics are compulsory !)))

Finally, I am ready to strip car to the bones (including windshields), get rid of every rust spot and paint whole car, i think about Lexus white pearl - 077, does anybody have experience of painting Bcnr33 in that colour ?

Upd : Colour is called "Starfire Pearl"

Hey mate, awesome pics of a beautiful city. I am a high school history teacher and teach my senior students about the Romanov Dynasty and the Russian Revolution. If you have more pictures or videos please post these up, along with your awesome "Russian GTR" haha. All the best and post pics and more information about your build whenever you can.

All the best.

OMG Maaan ! You must contacted me, I'd have shown you the city ! )

Finally I've reached the point, disassembling, followed repainting and resurrection of the body.

The main pain are door sills, as it's impossible to find door sills in decent condition in Russia atm, I decided to cut all rustjunk and wield them, changing rusted areas for new metal, creating new ones piece by piece, certainly making them much stronger than they were before.The same way I'll do to the hood ridges.

Also i've managed to find almost new original nismo front lip and nismo r-tune sidesсirts.

Also I've managed to procure 3 sets wheel nuts made from titan, the famous Mill Spec Grade 5 titan is BT14, this is BT20 material. produced by one of russian military plants, I do believe its strongest you can by for money, i have 2 spare sets, if anybody want them, pm me, price due to our currency rate is decent for this.

Finally i'm getting car from paintshop.

All rust was expelled, door sills was rebuilded with 3,6 mm thick metal.

About colour, i found amaizing guy, god of mixing, base was toyota 077 colour, he managed to 100% satisfy me.

077 is rather warm, much yellow pigment makes it look like ivory, we managed to get cold pearl colour without any blink of yellow and blue shade, green and crimson purple grain, sunk deep into base by special method of coating , big amount of black pigment made car look almost polished aluminium at some angle of view.

For now the only thing to do is to install bodykit.

I decided to install kinugawa 3076 modifyed turbo.

    • 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/
