Go to Motor Traders, and start from there.

Ryco Filters, Z145a i think is the part number for your oil filter.

Do the Fuel Filter also. Gates Timing belts, maybe replace your thermostat while you are at it.

Gerbox and diff oil, yeah, i guess people have their own preferences.

Just go over everything, feel the swaybar and links, check for cracks in bushes..simple things like that.

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

Ooooooooo ARC :whistling:

Yes you can see 2 pipes going into the cooler, One for each turbo :)

1 Gutted door :whistling:

Also been speaking with CAMS today. Got them to send me all the info i need on making my car a Race/Rally car so i can drive it on the street hehe. Straight from the document

A dedicated rally car can only be used on public roads under the following circumstances:

To participate in an official CAMS event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from all aspects of that event.

 To drive the vehicle to and from official promotional events, including media days and displays.

 To drive to and from maintenance/repair establishments. This may include testing and evaluation.

 Any other activities at the request of the SA CAMS office.

Yes im doing some testing to and from Villis on a Friday night haha

Rant,

Coming home from a mates place tonight. Coming onto north east rd from Kelly street. Look left look right twice and go. According to the policeman this wasnt enough and i didnt come to a complete stop at the stop sign. $332 fine and 3 points :whistling:

Unfortunately the vehicle must come to a COMPLETE stop. That means stopping before the line, applying the handbrake for a second (or 2, just to be sure), then treating the intersection as a "give way". Done too many driving tests (military especially) where thats an instant fail.

Anyone know how to find how many demerit points I got let? Or when they dissapear after a few years?

Cheers

They disappear after 3 years of the date of offence

If you've got 6 accrued (half) you'll get a "you're well on your way to losing your licence" letter that will show up what you've gained LOL

Correct, when I was learning to drive, my Instructor said to stop at the line, and wait at least 5 seconds before moving off, of course making sure no traffic is coming the other way.

Do fixed speed/red light camera know which car on which lane the vehicle was speeding?

Today, I was sitting at about 50km/h in a 50 zone driving through an intersection that I knew had a fixed camera then mid-intersection BAM flash in the left side mirror and corner of my eye to the right a car appeared out of nowhere and braked hard... so at the time the car would of been side by side next to me or slightly behind - hope my truck didnt get in the way of the moron's numberplate or the fine getting sent to me instead...

yes they do, theres 2 extra pads in each lane. Even if you did obscure, they wont ping u

how hard could something be to find

i want an intercooler core. 450 x 300 x 75 (would prefer thinner but cant be choosy)

got one with outlets at either end, kinda want them at the same end for simplicity (like this)

cpdocooler45030076.jpg

however these ones have 3" outlets. bit too big for my application (2" max)

who else sells coolers with odd outlets like that, and reasonably cheap?

Go to Motor Traders, and start from there.

you can get a kit from Kudos Motorsport Dion, but i guess you dont wanna wait for it seeing as your doing it all tomorrow.

Thanks, I did see those but Ive been told not to use the genuine nissan waterpumps, because they are generic to the 20/25/neo and therefore have an elongated hole that leaks... :cool:

go to nissan for timing belts

Been told this too, apparantly gates ones are noisy??

and water pump! since the front of the engines going to be off anyways..

Yeppo :)

Cheers guys :)

does anyone know where the heck i can get some of these style clamps from today?

constant-tension-clamps_lrg.jpg

they are called "constant tension" , "preformed" or spring band clamps"

from my understanding, they are a factory-only style clamp, and are rarely sold aftermarket.

Tridon make them, as do a few other smaller brands.

need some 23 and 25mm ones TODAY, and have already tried the following:

sprints

repco

supercheap

universal fastners

motor traders

pirtek

enzed

CBC

any other suggestions?

    • 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/
