What is wrong with the signature right now?

**MazworxRacing** · 13-04-2009, 20:08

My guess from what ive seen is that you guys are looking for more off the shelf parts than anything else... Is that correct? Like HKS, GReddy etc?

**ex-ctr** · 13-04-2009, 20:18

Garrett turbo's, ready made manifolds, head gaskets, heads/block stud/bolt kits, basically bolt on tuning parts, decent coil-overs, not cheap Chinese rubbish that falls apart, there are those amongst us that want custom made parts as well

Can someone tell me if the CA18DET exhaust manifold gasket is metal or paper like material?

It just shows what you've done! not whats currently for sale!
And if you don't mind me being frank,it looks like a bunch of figures that i haven't bothered reading!
Get a proper little banner! or minimum add a bit of colour to it!

based on your response on the CA18DET intake pipe parts request:

i'd imagine you're going to have a few problems developing CA18DET parts without an RHD motor and chassis available (if you're particularly developing parts for the UK market that is, LHD is another kettle of fish (and most likely easier for you, find someone in the US who has a CA18 swap in the S13))

exhaust manifold on RHD has the problem of restricted space on the 4th runner due to the ABS. some manifolds required ABS to be moved slightly others removed altogether. vast majority of people are looking for a plug&play installation (which without either an engine bay or precise measurements is going to be a bugger)

inlet manifold - easier i'd imagine, much more space (except at rear around clutch master cylinder) and something i'd be interested in.

engine internals - difficult - pretty high competition already on this stuff. with the rates etc you're going to struggle.

i'd stick (to begin with) something you know you can provide plug/play kits for - i.e. Z32 transmission kits for the CA18 - you've got the experience making them for the SR20 so CA18 shouldn't provide much of an issue.

stick to what you're good at & what you're known for is my advice - i've always heard of mazworx being associated with the Z32 conversions & not much other stuff (though that's possibly my limited reading

)

silly as it may sound put pictures of what your selling helps big time

**Noz** · 13-04-2009, 21:24

As has already been stated, large part is the current exchange rate.

My brain still works on 2:1, right now it's just not really worth it IMO. I've not bought anything from the States for months

Head-Mani = multi-layered steel
Mani-turbo = steel

Get out and about more

Very few people are going to be spotting your posts unless it's an especially active thread, and I hadn't noticed your subforum at all. Get out and about more.

If you link back here from your signature and you start posting out in the main boards you'll get more traffic.

It's a cast iron "log" type. Fairly chunky and heavy lump of metal. The castings tend to be a little rough, but not too bad. It doesn't seem to be terribly restrictive until you get into higher power outputs.

Be ware the ABS block, as Alan mentions it can get in the way quite annoyingly.

Cast iron log type gasket?

It is the worst time in years to start trading in the UK.. Plain bad luck i guess.. Due to this so called credit crunch (stupid name) unemployment in the UK is at its highest for over a decade!! Many people are being made redundant from all types of manufacturing and service jobs. The people who do have jobs are being cautious with their money. It will improve as the year goes on. People on here know maxworks well and you are very respected. You only need to use the search button on here to see how many times you had a mention before you started trading on here.Your drag s15 is amazing!!. It is just a case of being patient I'm afraid. I hope this clears things up a little !!

Im off to have some cereal.

**Karan** · 20-04-2009, 20:13

Ive ordered the z32 adaptor kit from you and more recently a z32 machined box too!!

ive been very happy with the service ive received and considering the distance you are from us the delivery times have been spot on.... surprisingly similar to what uk suppliers can do lol!

very impressed with the quality of the gear and the support over the phone also

i will be looking to purchase a built engine from you (minus turbo) soon for my s14, so will be in touch!!

thanks guys

Harkaran,
Thanks for the feedback. Your transmission is already on the way to you so you should see it pretty soon!

gotta say exchange rate too, its fcuked us over, this time last year im sure people would'v been all over parts from u guys, im pleased to see ur interest in the ca18 as i feel some of our traders tend to neglect it and opt for sr parts, definately stick around and see if the economy picks up as people love a bargain!

**Actual_Ben_Taylor** · 20-04-2009, 20:59

As has been said, unfortunately I think you've just missed the boat by a couple of years

You sent me a crate full of Z32 gearboxes and the service/price was great. I know the service won't have changed, but the price has gone up by over 30% now thanks to the state ok the UK economy.

**slider200** · 21-04-2009, 18:46

i'm keen for the z32 conversion but as said currency rates are holding me back as my stock sr20 box is ok atm.

give it some time there's plenty of custom on here!

**ecksjay** · 21-04-2009, 19:22

free stuff would be nice

someones gotta say it
