sorry to hear mate, was a feeling a bit strange when i read the title, i remember seeing your car at Roe Street CPP on the weekend as i parked there too

good to hear you've got it back mate better than nothing right?

hope insurance helps mate cheers

im sorry to here this but its the sad thruth that it happens all to often..my friends r8 ute was taken the same way recently and then used for ram raids around perth......i sleep with my f**kn keys....these days................im also thinking that a alam with the four pin code would b a great investment as then if they get ur keys they still cant start the car with the pin lock on....very sorry to hear again i hope u can get here back on the road mate...

suxxs nuts man, is it a write-off?? at least they didnt wreck those sex wheels.

i always sleep with my keys, have them in my top draw i also have a flip knife under my pillow, have had for years now!! gl stealing my keys!

hope it turns out good for you, just remember, dont except the first offer the insurance company gives you, theyll try and give u the least amount possible!

until recently i worked at both fowles and pickles auctions dealing with all insurance co's..so i would see an average of 20 new wrecked cars each day....i left that job to start my own smash repair company, so my advice is pretty accurate as i know how each insurance co thinks...i know their different repair/write off percentages etc, buy back rules etc..(apart from me "inspecting" every wrecked nice car in the yards ha ha..i bought wrecked s15 too...

anyway...

1. if thats not written off then i will be speechless.....rule of thumb is rear quarter panel damage = massive job to replace., thats without rear suspension etc...

2. who u insured with?

3. insured value? agreed value or market value?

4. where is car now? cannington compound?...cops have to do forensics/dna, then insurance assessor has a look..

and my neighbours camry was stolen 3 weeks ago from burglary too...(churchlands area).car found in cannington next day, no damage at all....obviously needs locks/keys changed (780 for just the parts without labour...car still not been worked on

by allianz repairer....allianz say no lock kits available (i called toyota and they are in stock) lying cuunts)...

    • 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/
