Nice one Mark

i cant believe there allowed to sell these perfect attire for the gang of 49

J3FIBA9FS_zoom.jpg

do they have sewn in weapons pockets, and car thief gear liners inside

and where do the petrol sniff cans fit..lol

This should be the last bit to get the car rolling. Only thing I need now is to borrow some r34gtt/gtr shocks/springs then when I save up some more Ill go on thr hunt for some ohlins with remote oil canisters.

Then come brakes and dog box :(

you inspire me to be a better person :P:rofl:

so what would be the best way to go about the the headgasket issue and if it is a cracked head how would i go about that?

cheers for your help

pull it apart yourself taking plenty of photos along the way so its not too difficult to put back together. take the head to an engine place (i have used richardsons engine service, but ask around there are plenty of good places). get them to check it over and face it.... if its not warped/cracked slap it back on and do a skid. if it is munted depending on wether you are going to do the labor yourself suss out quotes on a 2nd hand motor vs new head

btw its a good chance to replace hoses when the head is off

going to renmark on wednesday, to check out a 50acre property

a third of the land is producing fresh produce with a contract for harvesting/sale

has plant equipment and monitered irrigation, tractor & all the parts needed, 4wbike

nice roomy house as well, spare bedroom for parents/visitors to come up & stay every month

might do it. make a go of it while my knees are out.

got say 12-15years from hereonin until I can get knee replacements (due to age & the nature of my knees),

plus thats how long the kids would take to finish high school. 2010-2025 we might be farmers in renmark.

come back to adelaide once kids are ready for Uni - plus the crop yeild will be its best in the next dozen years.

otherwise im stuck on disability pension doing nothing, getting nowhere

this could set us up a little, ie your house/land is your business/income, enough so that we come back to adelaide in a bakers' dozen years

with cash outright for a nice home, R35 or R36, get the knees replaced and see where we are at

kids at uni making their own way, and by then I may be totally rooted with the knees, but at least give it a go

could be win

good luck tangles i hope it all works out for you up there, ive just moved back to adelaide from up there....but only cause the riverland wasnt too kind too me :rofl:

but i hope if you do it that everything goes well for you :P

cheers, we'll see on wednesday & go over the fine details

it brings in decent income over 24months, dont know costs yet, no water license so thats a downer

price-wise tho we'd start afresh and make a go of it. its not beyond us, just the unknowns . . . .

    • 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/
