I'm never happy with my cars so many ideas i wanna do but never get to do it. Still storming up ideas i have 2 RB30 blocks still, i'm thinking street sleeper will look pretty stock to the untrained eye all black engine bay but will be rolling on 550-600hp with 0 turbo lag, can't wait to start the engine build but i will be buying a house before any of this happens, houses suck but can't rent forever boodown.gif

Yeah New Years was pretty good from what i remember was fairly smashed, went to the northern beaches bowls club it was packed but i had fun don't remember walking home.

Also want to ask anyone is interested in doing trip to the Superlap this year in August, as i won't be going to Powercruise or Jambo this year as i will be in Las Vegas. Some very unique and hi-po GTR's from Japan are coming rumors are M-speed R34, Autoselect Yellow Shark R34 and maybe Cyber's new R35 which is taking over from their EVO will be f**king awesome can't wait to see the line up.

Yeah I'm looking into housing atm, thats why my car hasnt recieved any major upgrades lately lol

Starting my new job soon so will have a bit more money to spare then. Because of my new job though, wont be making the easter trip this year. Pretty disapointed about that but what can you do

Yeah Cal i hear ya gotta make some sacrifices i'll have no cars for awhile sad.gif but its the only way i'm gonna get a house quickly, not looking forward to $800 a week house repayments its gonna suck big hairy balls hardcore woot.gif

So pulled my sunroof out today and saw the extent of the rust damage.

So if anyone knows someone with a this part of the sunroof that wants to sell it then let me know, I was gonna take it in to get repaired but that might cost a bit to much.

Found my next car its a all original bog stock mint condition R32 with original 75000kms its from a high end GTR specialist dealer in Japan only 1380000yen which is like $18k FARK i so want it so bad its even in the colour i want as well. It is almost way too good of condition to modify should be bubble wrapped for 20yrs and then sold for $$$$$$

Goodluck trying to find a new sunroof Cal you would have to go through Nissan Japan and even then they would want a squillion dollars.

Yeah I'm trying to find one from a wrecked 33 off here, stuff going through Nissan lol. Was gonna repair mine but I'd need a new seal and who knows what else would break so would probably end up costing to much

Thats a tidy R32, almost makes me wish I'd got one

How did you go Cal have any luck with the sunroof. Have you tried Yahoo Auctions?

Very productive day for me hopefully the R33 GTR will be sold by tomorrow and then just waiting for the 350Z to acquire a new home then i will be officially car-less (fairlane doesn't count as a car cause its a heap of shit with wheels under it). Can't wait for next project car banana.gif Operation Street Sleeper hehehe last car i swear no more after this one biggrin.gif

No F-ing way this will be your last car haha

I'm looking at something a bit more practical for my next car, Audi A4 1.8L lol

The skyline will spend more time locked away then :)

Sunroof hasnt gone well so far, I emailed 3 import wreckers down south and import monster last night just seeing whos got the best price. No replies yet but I'll leave it for a few days. Probably end up putting whatever one i get in the car and (Depending how good it is) I'll get mine pulled apart, remove the rust and paint etc then get it re-sealed.

Not to worried at the moment so see how i go

dont lie them pics are off the brochure ben haha

callan just get urs fixed man atleast u know its done then and not a 2nd hand one that might already have rust starting...

Yeah I might end up fixing it. Its just the fact that it will have to be off the road for a few days and I'm running around doing inductions and shit at the moment so cant really do it at the moment lol. Maybe when I get back from my shift in a bit over a week

    • 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/
