Back to the skyline.... seems alot of people in the insurance industry smoke crack while working. Took me 6 phonecalls and about 3 hours to find out its not written off, and that it will be fixed. on the downside, it will take apprx 3 weeks to get approved, then another 2 weeks for parts to arrive, then another week or so for fixing. DAMN U PAPERWORK!!!! Got offered a nice skyline for cheap from some friends but won't be getting a pay out so oh well.

GEEZUS!!!!! the amount of &*^$ that i have had to go through. i ring the insurance compnay every 2 days to see whats going on. Seems that Alianz is a cheap $#%^$^ insurance company that has to claim through another insruance compnay. Seems that the big insurance compnay sent the check for the repairs on the 20/10/06. which was a bloody long time ago, 1 week after the crash to be exact. And ofcourse knowing my luck it got lost, and they only just found that out! So i am going to pay for the repairs and get reinbursed because this is going to take another 4 weeks to resolve and the car is just sitting there.

Infact the repairers rang up today and said what are we doing with the car besides driving in and out of their garage day and night, they said they have had to fill it up aswell lol. So yea its getting repaired now.

Please anyone out there that is insured under alianz........GO TO A REAL INSURANCE COMPANY, theyw ill only cause u pain as they still are learning about the business unlike big players like aami,nrma, just car insurace etc.

peace out

Yay, got my car back today from Revell fyshwick. Seems they did a good job.

UPDATE: got it back from barett Brothers, seems they missed the broken shock. Driving around thinking something wrong, the rear end feels like its floating etc. So yea took it and and yay a broken shock.

Revell said that its no use replacing just one as they will have different damper rates etc and will not feel right. So i had to replace both. Rang insurance and they are like "oh we only pay for the one that was damaged, you have to pay for the other one". After alot of sswearing i think they will be paying for both.

Records are now that it has been off the road for 3 months. All cos of some retard.

My advice? Don't get in an accident!

    • 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/
