This is totally insane! Your attention to detail is staggering. So awesome.

Could you please PM any other pics you might have of that crossmember ? (Please) :-)

Also could you please take x1000 photos showing absolutely everything once its complete so we can all have some alone time with some good material :-)

No real progress was made over xmas unfortunately way too much beer consumed :/

What i did decide on recently was to upgrade from the M800 to the new M150.

Unfortunately we needed to change CDI modules as the M150 wouldn't talk to the Motec CDI8... Yes i know :angry2:

New bits arrived today. :cheers:

And the good news is the car was delivered back to my good mate / fabricators last night to continue on with last few bits of work left.

Updates over the next few weeks..

Great looking car and fantastic build - looks like you've thought of everything. Plans for anything other than the 1/4 mile?

I hope so although i always seem to find something new and improved id like to add haha thanks mate.

I really wanted to build this as a street going car but rules and regs and police just make it so hard now.

Apart from the 1/4mile stuff it's just a car to go out and have some fun in, events like roll racing and powercruise both of which don't require registration.. Powercruise u can take passenger so that should be fun haha.

What would've been cool are the Motive GTR drag battle and new 1/2mile but both require registered cars for insurance purposes unfortunately...

Struggling at the moment to find room for a large enough air filter. The car was built with the intensions of not running one but i chickened out and purchased a 7" round 16" long K&N but looks like it won't fit where i was hoping without some more mods moving stuff around and re-coating the intercooler :/

Yep been progressing slowly but surely.

Under dash harness re-pinned for the M150 and re-installed into the car. Lucky we did bulk head connectors on the firewall made removing the harness easy and saved engine harness removal.

    • 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/
