The GT-R is sold, something i really didnt want to have to do but because everyone wants a new airport link and bus tunnel to the city and my house is in the way I thought id better get my finances in order!

Hey guys. Good to see. Had fun at your dyno day even tho the car was down on power. Still need to get it retuned and checked out. The car has been in storage after a recent break in untill i can get a decent alarm and everything else sorted. May be talking to you soon about a few nice goodys.

Hey quick question what relation does East Coast Customs have with West Coast Customs in America. Is it pure coincidence the names are so similar or was East Coast Customs named because it sounds like an already highly successful company?

bahahaha :D

anyways, even though im from SA ive heard good things about these blokes so get behind them.

ok so I'll ask one more time. (nicely) Where are these beat all or die prices you crow about. Have a look at the trader section and you'll see there are plenty prepared to put it out there.

I have purchased an awful lot of componentry for my car and If i had to ring everybody looking for the "best price" I would go broke in phone calls.

Put them out there and if they are as good as you claim and you have stock I/we will buy.

welcome to the forums ECC...

Hows it all going? You're at Kedron now? Why the move? I see your workshop burnt down... what's the go there? I never did end up hearing back from you guys after you promised to contact me about the damage you did to my bonnet when the car was in there being looked at for a pre-purchase inspection (for someone else)...

not that it matters now anyway, as that car's gone, but i hope your attitudes have changed since then, as you seemed like a nice bunch of guys, willing to help out... until something went wrong and then you didn't want to know me

wasnt out workshop that burnt down at aspley - -was the tyre shop next door... luckily we moved out of there a few months prior so didnt affect us.

im not going to revisit the issue with ur bonnet champ - i still stand by 100% that we did not cause the damage and u were standing next to us every second that car was being worked on.. like u sed, for no charge, we even went out of our way to help u fix a few other minor issues whilst the car was there in an attempt to help u make the sale. u saw a copy of the report i gave to the customer who paid us to do the pre-purchase inspection... it had nothing to do with us that the guy didnt buy the car....

i hope however this issue is all in the past but i still stand by what happened with the whole scenario. we have never had damage to any customers cars in 3 years and i dare to find one customer of ours who's nose is out of joint due to something we have done?. u still owe us a carton of beer from the first time we saw u and helped u out when u were broken down at the BP next to our shop free of charge :D *jokes*

but funny how people forget that someone has gone out of their way to help them for free (twice) as soon as another misconceived idea pops into their mind

you seem also to have forgotten that i bought you guys a bottle of spirits... i think it was vodka? (that you asked for, in lieu of the carton of beer) when i bought the car in for the pre-purchase inspection.

I still stand 100% by the fact that you did cause the damage, but it looks like we'll have to agree to disagree.

The issues are indeed in the past, the car was sold and i've moved on to different cars since then, and like i said, you guys were happy to help out (and did so twice, which i did thank you for) and i don't have any problems with either you guys personally, or your workshop, or your workmanship.

As for your last comment, i didn't forget... but you obviously forgot that i 'repaid' you for your time and effort

we will agree to disagree champ :D

i did forget about the bottle of vodka -- or perhaps did my partner drink it without letting me know... lol

thank u for the kind comments dude

dan -- yday u were a pleasure to deal with mate... let me know when your ready to get those few issues we found sorted out and we will get her in and back to the way she shuld be :D

Hey ECC sorry to get of track but is this the place where Allcar at Kedron in boothby street is/was.

Is Allcar Automotive still there??

It has been a long time since I was at Kedron.

I live on the southside now. Allcar did alot of work on my turbo laser which I still have LOL

But now the R34 GTT has top spot and rightly so. ;)

Are you guys open on weekends?

Cheers Craig.

    • 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/
