btw cas...

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g91619685

17x9.5" 114.3 PCD.

$260 buy it now for 3 + shipping costs + agent costs + international freight.

use two of em and have one as a spare. or get streeter to just chuck one out and send 2 to save on shipping.

problem is that that's too small. Can find 15s, 16s n 17s but no 18s to suit gtr. No 18s at all actually

How much do you reckon this 'car' would go for thesedays?

limited edition convertible model AE86. NOTHING to do... just get in and sliiiide.

so umm shan i mught need your thread tap things. got the centercaps drilled off, but the threaded bits of the screws are still in there

why the fuck did you drill the caps off? that just makes it harder to pull out.

oh, I thought you ran 17's on yours. my bad.

all good man thanks for looking :) did u know the guy who bought the damn things ran spacers underneath. Only 5ml tho. I had no idea lol

reply to my facey msg Nick! :) no love

sorry dude been absolutely swamped with work this week, and busy all weekend

When do you need it done by? maybe i can do it on wednesday next week during the night or next weekend?

hamish - thanks for the tip with streeter :) import monster quoted 1850 which i was already impressed by - streeter just got back to me as below:

Work CR Kais

Bronze

5x114.3

18 9.5

22730yen each

If shipped by Sea Post (shipping time 6-9 weeks)

Rough costs on that would be something like this…

Cost of item ¥90,920

Ship item to me ¥0

Bank fee to pay seller ¥630

My commission ¥7,000

Shipping to Aus, Europe or U.S. via Sea assuming 13 kg x4 ¥31,200

* (I could be off with the weight but what ever it costs to send Ill

pass on to you)

ROUGH TOTAL in JPY: ¥129,750

*If not in Aus or you would prefer to use PAYPAL: plus 4% paypal fees ¥134,940

ROUGH TOTAL in AUD: $1,674

*depending on exchange rate. current rate is 80.8

pretty happy with that but 9 weeks is a bit worrying. means i need to find loaners in interim. assuming i get them.

...i want to.

niggaroj, come over saturday, I'll be working on the ceffy.

niggaroj, come over saturday, I'll be working on the ceffy.

I use laurence (jesse's old housemate) and also streeter when L's not available and they're ace. never had any dramas. it's not 9 weeks. 9 weeks is worst case. I get my stuff in a month usually.

    • 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/
