Series II has 29,000kms and it is a NEO... looks pretty good for the price.

Spoke to the guy and doesn't ssem to have a clue you could offer heaps less I'd say.

yeah that's what got my attention as mine is a 25t X Four as well and I was looking for pics so I could see what the decals looked like (as mine has been debadged) there seems to be less of the 25t X Four's around.

even less of the 25X Fours :wave:

and one less than that now..... :)

5 speed auto?

Yeah i wondered about that too. And it doesnt have the steershift tiptronic either....

Is the interior on this one brown? Obviously the seats, but it looks like the dash and door trims are too.

If you look closely, you will see that the reason it doesn't have the wheel mounted shift buttons is because it isn't a triptronic auto - it wasn't a std fitment on the 25X series. There is a S2 25t X Four running around here in Perth that has the same setup, sans prime ed pack (woodgrain wheel, leather seats etc etc etc)

Yeah I spoke to him and I'd say he wouldn't have a clue... if he did he would add "NEO" in the add if he wanted to sell it quick.

He has "...$15000 negotiable " in the add so Id say if it is genuine (he said to me on the phone it had 29.000kms) it would be a steal even with a 4spd auto and brown interior.

ahh thats right, i remember there being a topic about the non-toptronic auto's.. as you said Darrin, why bother :rofl: there has been a few S2's on j-spec for 13-15k

the grill is nice :)

Did he happen to mention his name?

IMO this looks like a con... Mature owner - give me strength! regretful sale - pfef! it's recently registed!! Wow, he also uses the same keyring as some car dealers do! what a coincidence!

I've said it once, I'll say it again, when they wind back the K's at least make it believable!!

Anyway, FYI, X series didn't come in Prime Edition. this one just has the optional Olive grey leather. It also has the optional momo wood combi steering wheel and the optional reverse camera which is always handy..

I just looked up the address that appears in the background of the shots, and one of the results for Barr Street just happens to be a street off Parramatta Road in Camperdown, not far past the intersection of Pyrmont Bridge Road as you're heading East towards the city.

Are there any dealerships around there, I can't remember?

google earth it ! or google maps ! I am sure they list businesses in there!

    • 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/
