Hehe...

Seems like my schedule is a bit tighter than yours > pick my new car in a fortnight Mick.

Execs will be wearing SAU Pit shirts; so introduce yourself eh? Or we'll find you!

Cheers, Terry

I like the look of your car Michael BTW.

Should be proud of that.

Have you driven Putty Rd before? The last 20km are very impressive.

B/Blue R34 GT-R V-Spec II. It has bronze LMGT4 rims, but I'm swapping them to keep my gold ADVAN RG 1 wheels.

It never went to auction. Buying it off a lady who now doesn't want her 'personal import'.

Should be complied soon.

So if you see an old dude standing next to that, it's me :D

cheers Terry, i hope no-one who sees me driving around in it thinks i'm trying to pass it off as a GT-R

sure i'd kill for a GT-R but current funds won't allow for it, but i just prefer the look of the front bar and bonnet, BTW they are genuine GT-R items not aftermarket

R34's are my favourite i nearly bought a non turbo one for my second car while i was still on my P's got my lic very late in life

but didn't get approved for the finance lucky cause i ended up finding that Silvia which had a massivly worked engine i picked it up for just under $5k

nah never been there i don't venture out of my neck of the woods very often, i looked at it on google maps this arvo, the starting point is only 30kms from my houe which is good

i'll look out for you

don't blame ya, the R32 GTR front end looks so much better :thumbsup: as long as you're not sporting R badges on the back you should be right. Personally to me it's your car do what you want to it :)

Thanks dude

nah no R badge here I laugh at people who have stuck them on what clearly is a GTS it's just wrong.

When my car has one on it it will be cause it's actually a GTR... One day

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      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 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
