Spotted! me driving like a grandma because my cluctch slipped to the point where it revs whenever you put your foot down! hooray! booked it in with Ed, looking at $1000 for a new Exedy clutch installed, apparently slightly better than stock. I'm not a lead foot so it should do, but ouch! $1000 so close to christmas! i could cry!

Sounds like me!!!

My clutch is ***ced.... Does the exact same thing... Im after the Exedy Ceramic clutch, got prices for just the clutch.. comes to around $1000..

But all depends if all goes well.... Ill be driving outta here awith a GTR.... :P

Thumbs crossed!

Hmmm - building that stinks?

yeah it smells REALLY bad, dunno what they do there, but it is down the road from the "mouse house" (where they do testing on rats). sometimes whent the wind goes the right way,the smell covers the whole site (across the road)

yesterday near the golf course on H'marsh Dr, black 32 GTSt heading towards F'wick. sorry was too busy gawking in the mirror because I thought there was a 'line behind me. saw 4 of the best tailights in the business disappearing and thought bugger, missed one.

Coulda been me, what time was it?

had it done with Joe at skyline performance, couldnt have asked for a better job really, only cost me $310(cash) which was around $150 cheaper than anywhere else i got a quote from, i had to wait a few minutes longer than he said it would be so when it came to pay time instead of 350 he said 310, he's really quiet but he does good work and im always happy to take my car there, but if ed will fit it for the same price then i'd ask you to go there, purely cause he's done so much for alot of us.

    • 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/
