Here are some pics. . .

You should really see the video of my reaction when I first saw the car =D

Bought some ze40's  Got a weird size though. . . 17x8.5 +30 i think. . .

 

Then after getting Anonymouse  post bought a spare set of SSR type C (I reckon they fkn hot. . .)

18x9.5+15. Bought in Japan.. they gay gold colour will get them blasted painted probably gun metal + new stickers. .

 

Spent nights and nights researching wheels. . mainly weights. . these 2 are super light weight.

There is lighter but they dont look as sick as these. . Buddy club almost impossible to find. . Oz racing wanted some stupid price like $3,800 for the last set in aus. pfft. .  just got Rays ze's

 

Burning the credit card on car gear lol. all part of the fun..

 

Still havent taken it for a (proper) drive yet. . . =/ only to get paper work for licence application.

So its not really driving. .  no plates on the car so felt like a criminal. . and now i have the plates so..

Just need to chop or bend them to fit though.

Umm. . . Been thinking about it. . . not sure. . need to look into it more. .

Its all personal preference. . Think id feel little weird with custom. want to remain random. . like not stand out. . might change my mind. . .

 

eg. know a guy with a supra who took to speedway. Reckons he did under 10sec. (whether this is true doesn't really matter)

Supposedly because the car is that fast cant bring it back unless he has a roll cage. .(i don't know if this is all true).

But he had custom plates and reckons he gets pulled over alot. . . .

I'm 10 min from the Perth city.

 

If i'm invited ill come. Keen as mustard =D

Think will be easier small cruise. last one of 40+ ppl would be little off putting. (not easy to manage)

But yeah, just catch up with cars have chat. if all things go well have a meal or drive or what-ever. =D

Yeah they need to bend like 20mm each end to fit in front bumber. . stupidly large Aus plates =/

Either cut or bend. . dont know what cops would think. . . . but considering only been pulled over once in 15 years driving. . .

this is different car though =/

 

been looking at custom plates but NFI what to get. . . blegh gonna sit on fence for this one.

Bend them. Never cut plates as you can always unbend them if you need to, if they are cut you have to fork out for replacement plates if you get done for it.

    • 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/
