ok so iv bought an old r31 skyline auto in gold/brown colour with a decent body and it's since been customised slightly since this photo

E675DF85-4EFD-4FF1-95CE-D5E88C660C6F-358

its really just a toy so i dont expect it to be super good looking but i had to get rid of that cloud on the bonnet so out came some matte black!

righto iv been working on my xd falcon for weeks now, making it faster with many expensive mods. but now im back ontot the skyline, iv got some chrome trim rings for the steelies which look pretty good from a distance haha and painted the bonnet black, in in the process of changing the grill by taking out the spotlight things and im going to cut up a broken xd grill to fit and it will look fairly old school..

then out of nowhere i got a call....

my dad says to me.. "Jesse iv found something.."

"what?"

"its an r31 skyline, its red, its a series 2 or 3, it's a 5 speed and its abandoned"

i dont remember much after that but i lost my shit and asked him where it was he wouldnt tell me cause id harrass the people who owned the carkpark it was in which we have to contact to get it..

anyway i ended up spend an arvo driving round town and finnaly the last place i went.. there it was. sitting there absolutely covered in dust with expired rego and steelies.. its heaps straighter than my gold/brown one, theres no rust but the paint its rooted (idgaf) and its possibly blown up but i doubt it cause it has been parked there not pushed..

this is it, that's my mate celebrating when we just searched the whole town to find it! and a question is it a series 2 or 3? i cant tell haha its a newbie question probably but idk.. anyway so if i get this car it will be the new project but its still an r31skylinegx so my name doesnt change! anyway ill update again soon :)

    • 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/
