based ont eh rover 3.5L v8..360kw

but if sunbeams came with USA v8's and ddesigned to fit a 427 anyhow.. why not?

lol @ rover V8.

yeah thats what im talking about. but less cobra, more clean/subtle.

will look into 427.

so far my only thoughts are: bigg-ish V8. manual. EFI w/ ecu. maybe ITBs.

Yeahhh m8888 V8's!

Fark the JDM's

Saw this on friends facebook post. Apparently the admins drive ADM Jap cars

*Note not a member of the club, there seems to be a billion different facebook groups

11050234_1053838521299984_76916896089164

So if I understand his English correctly...they're banning Evos GTRs Stageas GTIRs etc. from their club?

Guy sounds like a professional, from a professional car club.

Nissan make ADM cars? I thought they were all imported from Japan... Or perhaps Korea... Or possibly China.

Anyway, the Stagea isn't gay enough to participate in Facebook groups, or anything that has JDM in the name.

corvette Convertible sounds like would work perfect.

much cheaper than building what your thinking as well...plus can put side pipes on it!!!

yes you can actually get a Aust made skyline:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_industry_in_Australia#Nissan_Australia

but ADM does mean Australia domestic Market, so cars made for sale by a manufacturer sold direct in that area, no specifications on where they were build.

thus there ADM and JDM S15's both build and brought in from japan just some grey import and some ADM as sold by nissan.

I could have just bought a V6 statesman for $3k. But I got the Gloria instead. Becoz it's awesome.

Could just get a sunbeam tiger fully restored for $50k+ but I would rather rat the duck out of an alpine and put a big V8 in it

"The lower price [iron Ore] means service industries such as tourism and education have overtaken iron ore as Australia's biggest export earning sectors for the first time since explosive growth in China's steel industry a decade ago ignited a mining boom, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Demand for iron ore is set to soften even more after China recently set its lowest target for economic growth in 15 years.

Iron ore miners have been counting on a drop in output from outdated and inefficient Chinese mines to help toughen a soft market but this month acknowledged that process, too, is slowing"

    • 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/
