Also want to be taken for a spin :D

On another note, after going from shagged 275 NT05s to 245 Dunlops I've gone from traction in 2nd on good roads to 'lols' but I don't feel like I'm going to spin out to a tree in the wet which is nice.

Inb4 flogged out Falcon up for sale at ridiculous price.

:P

lulz.

she needs some work yet...... i need lower rear springs, front and rear sway bars, scotty to make me all manner of bracings, and some freaking tyres.

maybe lsd...

Acid will not help you drive a car

If you wanted a 4wd micra, probably a better bet to start off with something like the Familia GT-R and then mod that... they're little rockets when set up right. 154kW for something that weighs about 1000kg, not too shabby as a starting point.

but they break and break hard. gearboxes and diffs are weak as. few parts drifting around from old projects but people usually stick to them for rally and keep them tame.

generally not too common because ugly + heavy. and those that are still around have been flogged by GTR wannabes. still fetch a decent price since purists will start to restore them. they had heaps of nismo optionals etc. (for a small JDM car anyway)

Up late on a Friday night with nothing to do? Ever been scammed by a guy named Jayson from the Blackburn/Burwood area? Haven't heard all about the massive scammer who has been operating here for years?

Why don't you read this thread from page two onwards, where you can -

- See forum member Jayson F, or gtr2nv, known by a variety of other usernames including jet31 (banned on this very forum) not defend himself ONCE against numerous posts linking him to all his other scamming usernames for a period of 7 years!

- Hear from other users who he has stolen from, and then sold the stolen goods on the very same forum!

- Read about how the post office seems to lose some items for which he can't produce receipts!
- Learn about how when some items arrive, they're thrashed or internally cracked!

On the subject of converting to AWD

Should I buy a gtr with my write off money or is the ol gtt/gtst considered on par around the track nowadays when set up well?

Buy back wreck, buy one of the myriad of sub 1k rolling shells or sub 5k gtst's and swap everything in. Spend the rest of insurance cash on more fruit.

Really actually buy Grants 33, huge KSports, Teins, RA3-DT's, tidy interior. Bodywork is not so tidy so it'll be less upsetting when you bend it again :P

    • 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/
