lol.. well if all goes well I will probably take some pix tomorrow, post them up.

It's not going to be complied (going to do that mostly myself I decided) for a while, so not going to go anywhere much further than the driveway unfortunately :(

Yeah same here I hate buying pos cars and spending money fixin this and that, rather just spend more money and buy something that is gonna last and stuff.

thats why i sold the line and bought a new car for work i would have loved to keep the line but i didnt want a shitbox ute that would break down on me everyday i went to work so i bought brand new instead

Yeah what you got is waaaaaay better than a pos ute, although I know of some pos utes that just refuse to die, so but still I'd rarther what you got to over a pos ute, but hmmmm add in a skyline and it would be a tough call for me, but you probably made the cheaper decision which in the end would be the right one :(

And no sign of Nexus at the meeting :( NO HUB AND NO CAT5 CABLE MAKES CYRUS something something

Sorry Cyrus I am sick, I had to have the day off work today as well and I never take days off :D

new car is black..

yeah, chris didn't sound too well this morning... Didn't think he would make it.

I yes and no about shitboxes.. they're never anything classy, but parts are cheap, and my last 4 shitboxes have only broken down on me twice.. once for a dead starter motor, and once for a dead cas.. but I do try to choose my cheap crap carefully :(

And if one can do 15 laps of QR without dying they can't be that unreliable :D

    • 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/
