i was gonna get a VL but this has got leather mang. bitches love leather. and easy to clean when it gets full from sand when we hit edithvale beach this summer. gonna be siiiiiiick

^ this was my actual logic for the gloria

I was gonna get a corolla or a cruize for 10k but this has got some power and it interesting and it's got 4 doors which makes it a sensible daily driver.

^ this was my actual logic for the evo.


Called Shannons to modify my policies...

Skyline went from Daily $13k / $1800 to Extreme Limited Use $13k / $1240.
Evo Daily $15k / $1200something as well

Urgh :( Was expecting the Skyline to drop under a grand considering its able to be driven only 2-3 times per month.

They also said I could rock up without an appointment to the Shannons center in Cheltenham and get one of their blokes to sight the car and the replacement value of all the mods... and a $23k agreed value ($10k more) would be about $35 extra per year.... uwot?

A customer asked me if we sold leather seat covers today.... Now it all makes sense.

Sign up for the racv vintage/classic insurance. There is a thread somewhere on SAU

I was able to get my car in with shannons for 30k without them sighting it... I was curious to what i'd be able to wager if they saw the thing. Probably less.

Especially if they ask me to start it right now....

R34 ineligible for RACV classic. Too new.

Does feel kind of dirty seeing a R33 GTST eligible but a R34 not. :P

Yeah it sucks the Series 1 is eligible but the Series 2 isn't haha. I think next year it will be though?

Nothing stock looking about that engine bay either...

Pod filter coming out the side of the airbox which kind of defeats the point

GT40 low mount isn't exactly stealth material

Show the bay from the side and it's a different story

Good sleeper from the outside though, you would fool every seriously fast car on the street

    • 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/
