I'd rather having insurance and searching forever for 'perfect' car than not having insurance at all...

That way I'm able to sleep at night knowing I'm covered.

That's just me, you can put security system to shame Fort Knox and someone will find a way to steal it, unfortunately it's the way it is nowdays.

u wot m8? I never said you shouldn't have insurance, i just said that your comment of insure it and who gives a f**k if it gets stolen is wrong and you should still be paranoid about your car getting stolen, because it will take you forever to find a car like the one you had (unless you had a piece of shit before hand)

As for finding 'perfect' car differs to everybody.

One might want to go OCD, other would go with reasonable condition.

Each to their own, I'm just saying anyone's car can get stolen anywhere, in any way (carjacking, flat bed, good 'ol break and Hotwire etc).

Like I said, if people want to steal your car, they will. But that's for another topic.

*sighs*

It's up to you whether you want to be paranoid or not about your car.

That is what insurance is for amongst other things such as being covered should idiots out on the road hits you etc... Which I'm sure you know this.

It's a attitude I chose with my car. If it happen to me, well, shit happens.

Your whole attitude towards it is wrong. Might aswell never lock my car and leave my keys in the ignition because i have insurance right? Who gives a f**k if it gets stolen.

Of course i know of this, my last gtr got stolen, my new one i bought had someone try break into it 2nd day i had it and i got rear ended 3rd time driving it. I have been without my gtr for about 3 and a bit weeks now because some top bloke fell asleep at the wheel. Don't worry about the inconvenience on missing out on drives with my mates and other shit though because i have insurance................. -_-

With the shit that has happened to me with my cars and the area i live in i will ALWAYS be paranoid as f**k, as everyone should be.

wait till the vilella brothers get to his joint. his views on getting his car stolen will change. Theres a guy in my street that chains his gtr at night by chains i mean he loops it on both the rear tyres. the only way to get through it is to grind it cause conventional bolt cutters wont work.

Simple solution move or stop buying nice cars !

Also leaving you car unlocked and leaving keys in the ignition voids your insurance

insurance doesnt have to know your car was unlocked and keys were in the ignition.

Hahaha i know right? You need to do that these days to keep the car from those speds. My cars stay in the garage these days and the dog sleeps in there too now, just in case they get in and he gets a bit hungry lol

Need to set one up with a GPS tracker and leave it on the street in a semi industrial area of the north west. Would just be a matter of time before it's taken, then call the rozzers and track it, would probably end up at the same place as half the other stolen skylines.

The same rozzers that caught the guy that stole my car who is still out and about stealing cars? -_-

Haha ain't that the way. But do 4km/h over the speed limit and they'll fight tooth and nail to make you pay the fine :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      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 🤣

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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).
