What's the news?

The ic7 will be firmware updated to allow 2-way CAN communication allowing additional inputs for the ECU. It will also be a master device now, so I believe it can act as a controller for the PDM. You can also customise logos etc.

Pretty much no need for an I/O expanded if you have a dash.

Also, there may be a new Haltech dash coming in the future, I hope they update the housing lol.

That's the only reason why I didn't buy an IC-7, I know it's silly, sure it's ugly but the car itself is pretty ugly too LOL.

Yeah, I think they are bringing out a bigger display. I think a 10”??

the ability to programme the buttons on the display is pretty good too.

One can hope, if not I'll just get an IC-7 and stop sooking.

Loaded up the latest firmware, oh wow... went for a drive and it's like I've setup Alpha-N and MAP compensation. I thought the transient table I built was good, but wow... this just brought it to another level.

@R3N3 this is how I make the car brap lol.. sounds better than rotational idle

Nice little timing hole lol

And for the idle control you want it to not much between -50 ~ -100 RPM

Awesome! I will compare the sound. I ended up dialling in the launch and rotational idle 100% many bangs and flames were had. Although I’m a little worried about my stock oil pump gears…

Didn't you want to build a new motor? LOL.

Haha, true! The plan is to switch out a working motor with another working and better motor…

Last time @admS15 used his launch control, he lost a turbine LOL.

As much as you like to complain about it, your car is a looker! Is this photo with new tints? Which ones did you end up going with?

It's on my list of things to do, though not at the top. Being able to see nothing at all out of the windows when it's dark and wet outside gets old very quickly.

I work in IT, complaining is a prerequisite LOL.

I went with a legal 35% tint, it's some ceramic bullshit (apparently good?). Got it done by Tint a Car in Moorebank.

Haha, fair enough. Yeah ceramic is meant to be better with keeping off heat. Or so I learned doing all of five minutes of research.

But for some reason the extra photos you included in your post that show the new tint don't load.

    • 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/
