Cage is finished (other than the padding and putting the interior back together). Geez I'm wrapped with how neatly it has all come back together. Sure it could have been lighter, but it doesn't look or feel like it has lost it's "street car"ness at all which is what I really wanted. I'm very happy with the work thats been done indeed.

Merridian Motorsport have done the cage. (free plug!) http://www.mmsport.com.au/

There's a guy down there called Andrew that is their fabricator who is a very talented man (a few people from here could attest to that actually).

This part should be finished in the next few days, then I'll get the front diff repaired next week and then we'll be right to apply "Ze Secret" and the car will be good to go! Hopefully make it to PI for a shake-down in Novemeber and then into bubble wrap until the end of Jan :kiss:

I approve snowbuddy. looks good. steering colum at perfect height for me if I want to steer with my nutsack so I can eat a burger and drink a beer at the same time. it's rally-tastic I say.

How are the later model Skylines dashes for reflections in the front windscreen? The R32 is rubbish in bright light. Is it worthwhile investigating some material over the dash to ensure there is no reflection in the screen?

Awesome looking cage too Snowdaddy. Not pissing in your pocket but from one of the pics it is one of the best integrated cages i have seen. Credit to you and Meridian

Sometimes the most exciting things are the most subtle!

ohhhh but i wanna know now :banana: good thing i'm at work and i can go though the regs in detail today :laugh:

z-tune replica?

flux capacitor?

brock polerisor?

oh that would be nice, pitty option parts are limited to suspension, cooling, aero, and wheels.

True - but if the car is entered as a 2005 R34 GTR Z-Tune its ok (as opposed to entering it as a 2001 R34 GTR V Spec N1 and adding the options).

Nothing to say you can't :banana:

Nothing to say an R33 GTR can't be entered as a 400R either!

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • 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).
