Probably be "fun" carless for a few months. Money is going to a family car.

Might buy something at bonus time. Will see how I go without a car for a while first

Jan 23 al.

Which Qashqai Dia you go for? We are looking at the better spec petrol one

Nice!

I got the Ti I think it is? It's top of the range petrol fwd model fully loaded with everything you can think of. Really good on fuel too

Yeah good man I mean it's not what I'm used to jumping out of the lexus & audi, but I tell Ya what it does more than the prestige cars do for half the price only thing that would have been good is opening sunroof instead of the big glass moon roof

For a family car I reckon it's perfect good size I've had 4 adult men in there no issues features all work really well. Drives nice slightly sluggish but you don't buy it for speed, handles well though not too heavy like some others. My boss got his wife the top of range crv which is bit more spacious but a fair bit more money from memory and slightly less features but that's the only similar thing I'd consider the mazda / ford etc are inferior

If ya were local Id say come suss it out without a salesmen bustin ya balls etc but a bit too far lol

4cyl 2.0i Unleaded Manual = 1400kg braked

4cyl 2.0i Unleaded CVT = 1200kg braked
4cyl 1.6 Diesel CVT = 1400kg braked

Kerb weight is about 1400kg petrol manual up to 1600kg diesel cvt (unladen)... so after loading it is recommending kinda in the ballpark of the 75% towing recommendation.

wow you bought a Dualis? How come you didn't go X-trail for proper 4wd? Or a skyline crossover... Slightly older but better options and more refined feels being an Infiniti.

    • 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/
