gee it wouldnt have mattered if the guy did a runner...

i think he left a numberplate imprint on your bumper :woot:

sucks man, just make up a story about a "hektik" doorriifftoo for some cred ;)

tell people you backed it into the wall at turn 10, eastern creek. that's what I did and it worked for me. instant restepa.

lol!!!

On a side note, I just got the quote back from my panel beater. There seems to be a lot of damage inside the boot :/. @ the quote... EGADS!!!!!

yes, skyline rear end is very soft. there is no structural bits there. the whole boot area is basically a crumple zone. if you have to replace the boot floor it will be a couple of grand.

there will be damage to:

bumper

reo

quarter

boot floor

beaver panel

maybe tow hook too.

It's well more than a couple of grand. Good thing I'm not paying for any of it.

Everything's screwed in there. Boot won't close anymore too.

I hope everything gets put back to the way it use to be :woot:. ie. no leaks, good gaps, etc etc.

Yep. Well I kinda said, "What the FU(K were you doing?" lol

He mentioned something about a CD falling down. :\

Ah well, shit happens.

I just wish my damned neck and back didn't hurt.

oh man.. i would have lost it.

I was almost out of the car when this guy in a corolla came flying up from heaps far back (i saw him from HEAPS far away cos i was looking around for cops cos i wanted to get the car sideways at the intersection (LOL)), and as he approached he kept his speed and at the last minute (by this time i decided to hold onto the steering wheel as hard as i could, stiffened my whole body up and braced for impact.. i think i even closed my eyes.. LOL), and he hit his brakes HARD and stopped fkn close to me (looked as if he was sitting in my backseat from the rearviewmirror). When this happened, it was late at night, and my car was the only car around and im 100% sure my tail lights worked so you can't exactly miss the car especially coming from about 400m down a straight road. instead of getting out (i wanted to go and beat the shit out of him, but cos he didn't hit me, i stayed in my seat), i just unbuckled my belt then turned around in the car (no tint) and through the rear windscreen told the kunt to back the f**k up. He then quickly reversed back a few metres.

i was boiling inside at this point and just took off slowly to let the bastard go past me after we turned right so i could have a word with him, but he didn't go and just sat at the lights til they went red.

still to this day i can't understand why the f**k he hit the brakes at the last minute to stop... was he trying to pull some sickunt move cos there was a gtr infront of him? i dont get it.

    • 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/
