I can't vouch for the service, but while I was looking for my GTV, I went into the yard at Nagoya ( and workshop ) and had a "GOOD" look around with Alex's counterpart ( Alex was out ) and all I can say is..... :thumbsup:

And since I'm not allowed to say anything bad about anyone on a public forum, re-arange the followng words to create the correct sentance: back. odo's All blatently wound were cars :banana:

Well maybe he's cleaned up his act since I was there. Sure sounds like it from what you guys are saying.

When I was there I saw cars with rust, oil leaks, faded paint, faded interiors, repaired accident damage etc etc showing 64,000km. :(

One of the car's that I saw that day ( in that condition ) was purchased by someone on this forum. He had owned it for about 2 months when I next saw it, and it was all patched up and buffed up then, but it was easy to spot the issues since I knew where and what they were.

I guess at the end of the day, let the buyer beware ( no matter who you buy from ) :)

before u go praising them. u might want to wait til you have owned the car for a bit longer then a day. cute little suprises take time to show themself lol. not saying this is the case for you. but i know many people who were full of praises for a certain turbo distributor on this forum, only to be damning the bloke few months later.

nontheless looks clean, and congratz with the buy :P

i had a look at alex's shop aswell about 6 moths ago,,,, i decided not to get a car from him only coz i found a better car for a slightly cheaper price from joel in castle hill....... also i dont care what anyone says.....EVERY 2ND HAND JAP IMPORT HAS ITS ODOMETERS WOUND BACKWARDS!!!!! don't you wonder how a car with 66k KM has a brand new steering wheel, perfect seats, usually a replaced gear knob, yet the window buttons are always worn or the carpet on the door next to the arm rest has seen better days lol.....you cant avoid it so if it sounds good and looks straight and goes hard... thats all you can hope for.....

also my r33 was picked up with 66k Km on the dial..... for christ sake its a 96 model, 12 years old, that means 5,500km per year..... no way... japs that own their own car drive asmuch as we do over here in the cities and in 6 months im up to 75k KM already..... also the original owner wasted money on a full titanium 3.5 inch fujitsubo exhaust, rims, genuwine gtr front bar, expensive air filter and an expensive "but useless in australia soundsytem" but he only drove the car 66k in 12 years...... at the time i was looking for a new car, every dealer i saw had dodgey k's on them... all i could do was pick the best at the time and still to date no probs except a clutch upgrade....

thank god there such good cars

    • 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/
