JD R33, is your LM the one that was recently for sale on eBay? Bloody hell, that thing had me drooling on the keyboard. Nice car!!

Don't think so, or at least I didn't see it there. How long ago was it on there?

I got it via a compliance shop in Melbourne and they have a car yard attached, but have only ever seen their ads on carsales.com.au.

Must have been a different car then, the one on eBay was a private seller. If i remeber correctly the car had been featured in a copy of High Performance Imports in a Skyline vs Supra article, but it was pretty much stock. Can't be too many LM's floating around Australia though that's why i just assumed it was the same one. Regardless, that is one very nice car!

Does anyone know who owns the Silver series one R33 Gtst that has great big blue 2Fast 2Furious style vinyls up the sides, a big Autobarn T wing, 17 or 18 mags, a monster tacho on the dash and number plates "KNGR33"?

It had Trojan Motorsport skickers on the rear quarter windows too.

I saw it last night and had a giggle to myself and thought "time to move on mate, the fast and the furious isnt cool anymore". :D

P.S. I apologise if the owner is on here, but seriously - its time to try a new look.

hahah king 33, he has about 190rwkw, he likes to over advertise his passion for 2f2f,

had to leave a comment as i always see this car and have talked to the owner

Spotted a black R34 on the Monaro near Calwell behind me while I was testing my car out this afternoon.

Yesterday think I saw my old Maroon R33 parked next to the Sun building on Northbourne. Ahhh my first love, a bit fat whale :)

Spotted a wingless Gold R33 GTST yesterday in Fyshwick and followed him down Monaro Hwy (he turned off heading to jerra). Gave a wave in fyshwick and got a nice dagger wielding stare back.. Tuff mate, real tuff. *insert rolling eyes emoticon here*

    • 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/
