So thats gearbox oil, diff oil and exhaust polish done today :D

Whoever did the gearbox oil last time definitely made sure the plugs were tight... They were a real pita even with a breaker bar... :angry:

At least gearbox feels a lot nicer now, will be interested to see how it feels cold mornings now.

Nice! :)

What fluids did you use? I found that Cold mornings, even though 1st to 2nd was still a bit Stiff, it was definately smoother and less crunchy.

On the tight plug thing, I got the Exhaust place to Crack my GB filler plug while up on their hoist. It was still a major pita to undo but with a jack under a breaker bar it finally Cracked. ;)

machined rotors.

found brake fluid leak from bleed nipple.

was also crooked.

removed to straighten.

no yhread left for it to go back into.

swapped standard brakes back on.

bled up.

thank god I kept those.

also, removed and disassembled passengers head light due to parker lens floating around.

glued into place.

Nice! :)

Yeah, just bought the same that you use.. Go off your recommendation, will see how we go. So far so good :)

Yeah literally took me an hour to get the filler plug haha! Was uphill after that. Next time it won't be as hard haha.

Also.. Diff oil smells sooo bad lawl!

diff oil smells even worse when you get it on your shoes then hop in your car and it get's into your floor mat and or carpet, i am so glad i changed my carpet. On a real hot day with the windows up it made me feel sick. :yucky:

Having unwillingly donated a weathershield to the NSW countryside at 100km/hr today, I have sadly removed the remaining three.

Sh!t thing is, these have been on the car for well over a year with nothing but cheaparse Go-Lo mounting tape.

I recently redid them with better, more expensive tape and lost one within a few weeks.

Now to hunt down another set...

Can anyone who works at NISSAN Help me? :whistling:

I actually dislike the look of it, also I feel that it serves no purpose as I like to drive with my window up when it's raining. So, Dad ripped it off (thanks -_-). Imo, looks much better however, if it wasn't wrapped in carbon fibre plastic then it may have just looked better - Sadly it was and it got removed :D

Yesterday i waxed the roof, cleaned the engine bay, detailed the inside of the car. And lost my trim detailer :angry: Don't know where it is.

Also got a bolt stuck in one of my socket ends when putting the OEM mesh from richard on... Sigh. It's well stuck in there.

I'd also like to note that richard is COPYING my engine bay. There we go. said it.

    • 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/
