yep exactly, the soft temp racks are the best, both for your car and your surfboard.... well idk tbh, but its best for the car, maybe a nice microfibre cloth under them and a sweet treat for your car afterwards, and a card for birthdays, xmas and easter, and an extra special buff just to say sorry to your line...

maybe you could get another car just to transport your surfboard, just an idea.... laugh.gif

i actually have a set of racks for my skyline :) its a kit designed by Thule and goes for about $600 and it think its a universal kit with extending arms cos the window frame is so little to support carrying weights. its the same kit designed to be used on s14's so if they ask what car its for you can tell them will fit to s14's (as you can get them adm so should show up on their systems)

Skylines are sports cars . . . . thats why roof racks ARENT cool on them, unless you have somewhere to wash the salt water off the boards then consider what the salt water will do to your car (any car at that)

skylines arent sports cars, with respect to steven.

Z's are the sports cars.

skylines are family cars, with one sport oriented model the GT-R.

The coupes are just 2 door versions of the sedans.

I don't know where silvias stand.

i remember mad082? saying this before.

While I will agree to this to a point, if I see a Skyline (or any car) at the track on full opposite lock and a massvie rooster tail of tyre smoke linking corners like a boss I probably wouldn't be saying "yeah, but the roof racks ruin it for me"

Skyline is a Grand Tourer, hence the GT. Z's were always a Nissan sports car and now are Nissans luxury sports car, Skylines were carried over from Prince when the 2 companies merged. Silvias are also sports cars albeit a smaller cheaper sports car.

    • 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/
