Sick of your old and boring R34 GTR? Getting tired of driving a car that has 300+RWKW? Finding it draining to get into your 10 second car and taking it to the servo, only to see some old lady frothing at the mouth over the colour of your paint job??? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!

Up for sale is my manual KH Ford Laser TX3 (non turbo but it's red so it does go faster than the rest).

It's just clocked over 255,000 KM on it, but the damn thing drives like a dream. Had it for about two years now and has never skipped a beat. Always serviced and never driven hard, only taken to work and back (Tullamarine airport and I live in Tullamarine), has made an awesome daily for me, and EASILY gets me 450-500KM per tank, and that's me driving locally as I rarely get to go anywhere other than work

The beast is mechanically A1: Engine is perfect, gearbox shifts without crunching or anything like that, clutch is perfect, brakes are more than fine.. Don't know what else to say.

It's got some set of 15" wheels on it with great tread on the tires, once again I don't drive far. Occasionally I've taken it to the other side of the city when I stay up at my brothers house, so it is fine for longer distance trips. The engine doesn't make noises, it starts first time every time.

The bad points are as follows: Paint has major fades on the rear spoiler and (I think) the bonnet? The car could do with a good cut and polish, there isn't too much shine on it at the moment. There is also a scratch along the right rear quarter panel where my mrs reversed her shitbox into mine, other than that the body is relatively good.

The clown before me decided to cut holes in the door trim to fit tweeters... Enough said.

The car will be sold as is - so no RWC or Rego (Don't think it will need much for roadworthy)

It's also got wiring from the battery to the boot, so just hook up and amp and you can doof doof all you like.

Don't know what these things go for so I'll say $1,500 ONO

    • 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/
