Also Ben,

Can you PM me details for that translation thing you have. I want it. Cant for the life of me work out what half of it is. I have worked out what each option is on the display unit, but want to know more about it all.

And how the freak do i change the time on the clock? I cant find anything to change it at all.

You'll need to throw $20 in my account and i'll send you the document. It doesnt cover everything, but covers most of the important stuff :P

No idea about the clock. I cant work it out either.

just complied the new Cedric "parts car". Needed some new trimming on the A-pillar and an auto fluid change, but apart from that she's running brilliant! Its got the Cima style dropping centre section of the passenger seat so the rear passenger can throw his/her legs through!

Heated seats, reverse sensors, cruise control, electric everything. Only 4 things from the factory options its missing. Leather seats, reverse camera, sunroof and xenons.

It will be sold for a bargain, not to decrease the price bracket of these wonderful cars, but so i can find another box. The black one is still on the hoist and im sick of seeing it with half its guts out.

Check the for sale section in a few days and you might see a bargain of the century!

Ben

put it up on www.aus-vip.com if you can, or i can for you, would be good to see someone take it and watch it be modded on there

32 4whore, would be good to see you there too with a members ride thread

whats the news with you Kristian, found that black one yet?

anyone want some fluid for your tranny?

These tranny's recommend the J Matic fluid, which this castrol stuff is meant to be for.

Apparently only comes in 3x4litre packs or Repco recon its a 20L drum.

Thats exactly the same as mine. So, you can buy mine instead. Slight gearbox issue, with it being in peices, but still a bargain! :P

I now own a supra RZ and a daihatsu mira as a daily and the mrs drives her echo. Add to that the latest cedric and the black cedric a 350K mortgage and a baby coming in 5 months and it equalls a lot of car expenses! Especially since the wife wont be working for a few months after the birth.

Plan is to sell the new cedric for 12Kish and buy another to put the box in the black cedric. Then when its on the road sell the mira and drive the cedric as a daily. I will most likely advertise it for 20K and see what happens. If it doesnt sell, then i wont care. This project has cost me well over 30K so far. I hope to get at least some money back.

i would stay clear of that one. Although it passed compliance, it has had minor accident history. Bonnet is diffenately been replaced and a few other bits and peices.

The guy sells everything at or below cost price when he doesnt get rid of it within a few weeks, so it doesnt surprise me its going this cheap.

Interesting thread here, guys... keep up the research! I'm looking at a Gloria to replace my V35s (one has sold, the other is on the market), and have been more than impressed with what I have read of them so far, and it's time for a change again...

mine is for sale :( Going to put some pics up soon. It needs some minor panel repairs, but she's in good nick.

After 12Kono as is. No rego or safety certificate as my last gloria is still registered in my name because NSW transport lost my qld number plates and qld wont cancel the rego.

I'd be interested in that: love those cars! I couldn't stop staring at the Infinity M45s wherever we went when I was in the 'States earlier in the year...

farrk ebay is full of fraud these days. I've had 6 emails from different non members asking to buy it and a link to say that someone retracted a bid and to click here to login and check the history. Turned out to be bollucks. Glad i didnt sign into the link. Very nicely done though, looks exactly like ebay.

email:

the grammar in that email makes it suss, engineers know how to talk properly (or should do after 4 years at uni)

sucks that things like this happen

i can put the car up on aus-vip if you want, there are a few people interested in them

ok, maybe someone can help me out here...

over the last few days in the cold weather my cluster has been flickering and turning off for brief periods of time.

today on my way to uni, the cluster turned off for about 10 minutes while i was driving, which also caused the check engine light to come on. so on my way home i stopped in at my mechanics workshop to see if anything was wrong with the engine. i knew it was to do with the cluster dying but just wanted to make sure.

i asked him to hook up nissan consult to it and it came back with a speed sensor error, so he reset it and that got rid of the check engine light. so i decided to take the cluster out when i got home. on the way home i noticed that the power steering also cut out when the instrument cluster did. this leads me to believe i have a loose earth somewhere that is causing the problems.

when i got home, i pulled out the cluster (which is surprisingly easy to do) and played with all the plugs, and it still flashes, so its not that.

any ideas on where the earth could be if its just the instrument cluster power and power steering?

BTW the LCD still works all the time

Does anyone on here know the part numbers for Brake Pads and Rotors.

I dont have the time during the day to take the pads out and messure them up or the rotors. Very Very busy at work.

And when i get home im too buggered to have a look.

My rotors are fwarped and terrible. I want to get better brakes and rotors.

If anyone has the part numbers please let me know.

Cheers,

Brenton

    • 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/
