I wish Wakefield and eastern creek were in GTS lol
Bathurst is the only Aussie track int he game
Can get them in Assetta Corsa (via download) on the PC (not console) 
 

I think it was in grid on PS4 they had Sydney Motorsport park

This nearly seems affordable (sorry about the small thumbnail, @PranK still hasn't fixed the image width size)

you know thats only the base?
no seat, wheel, pedals etc

 

Yeah I know - full kit will still be less than me blowing up another motor LOL

Making myself a temporary DBW patch harness.

It's nothing pro or club level, just amateur level stuff. Pulled apart Narva 7 core trailer wire and bundled up what I needed.

Still figuring out where I want certain sensors and looms run. 

Also, repurposing the old AFM and O2 wiring into an EMAP. For some reason I was under the assumption the power for the AFM is sensor +5V, clearly it isn't so have repinned the narrowband O2 input as a +5V feed for the pressure sensor.

And done, finished after my son went to bed.

I'm using a V35 Skyline pedal, I did have Z33 350Z one but I didn't like the alloy pedal and wanted a stock looking one.

The Asian in me didn't want to pay some auto electrician to make a temporary harness 😂

Future state, will plan out where I want everything to be, and how the cables will be routed and then will pay someone to do the full loom.

FWIW, Narva 7 core trailer wire comes with slightly smaller cable (2.5mm diameter) compared to Narva 5 core trailer wire.

A bit overkill for sensors and a DBW motor still.

overkill is pretty much always better than under doing it when it comes to wiring!  Are you running the pedal wiring back across under the dash to the ECU and then out through the firewall or are you running some of it straight through the firewall at the pedal to the DBW motor?

  • Like 1

Wiring is going across the firewall (cabin side), then the TB wiring will come out the grommet driver side and then out through that hole where the brake master cylinder is.

I thought about using the throttle cable hole but the DBW TB plug wont fit (unless I de-pin it).

Following Haltech's instructions I ran all sensor power from the pedal & TB back to the ECU side. I've seen some harnesses where sensor power goes from ECU to pedal, then pedal to the TB. I can't see a real issue with that - however better just stick to what Haltech documents to avoid any issues.

Oh hai, I'm sure someone will ask, "why didn't you get I-Beam connecting rods?"

Simply put it, I'm not after 746kW at the wheels. There's 0 desire for it, so these Manly H-Beam connecting rods are perfect for my requirements. Not to mention they came out unscathed from cracking a block in my old motor.

Pretty excited, should be up and running soon enough 😁

So is it not cool if I bought I Beam? 

To be fair I have 2 less cylinders to work with so need to work them harder :D

haha yes! simplified calculations puts each of your rods at 125kW, where as for me 83kW :)

    • 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/
