Sorry to hear, what happened? not insured?

Damn, man. I thought you bought another V35 for a second. :P

A V36 would be hot! (I am not even going to talk about a R35. :) ).

Sorry to hear, what happened? not insured?

just got back from holiday overseas with my missus last year and arrived back on a friday. sat we were on the way to markets but stopped by mates house. signaled left and turned into driveway as i was doing that some idiot decided to drive right into my right side arse. id say bad judgement by him as he didnt slow down tried to change lanes but other lane was occupied so he had to swerve back to my lane and boom shacka lacka boom@. tbh car wasnt insured as i forgot to pay for it when i was on holiday but it didnt lapsed over 14 days so it was still good but wasnt my fault so all worked out. still....

lol. i still havent given you a ride in the hybrid, the e90 or the starlet gt yet lol

Yeah, man. Definitely.

Wait, you still haven't sold your Starlet GT?

I am even thinking of buying a Hybrid to save on fuel when Mirage dies. :P

still have 2 gts. one mildly stock. other one i told you about eats STIs lol

True.

Well, if you get a V36, we should be rolling together again. :)

God, I miss those days.

what a shame. That was one nice V35. wonder if Colin is going to dress it up or just returning it to stock looking.

It was, indeed. :(

I am pretty sure it is back to stock, unless Colin buy different rear bumper because the Weber Sports front and side skirts were sold separately.

R35 for sure! Or I heard infiniti is coming to aus so get a g37, just expect to pay lexus territory (way better than an is350 looks & quality wise, got to test drive one & I think is350 & V36 similar straight line performance so would be up to the driver imo)

I'd have an R35 yesterday if I wasn't saving up a deposit for an investment property

    • 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/
