Looks like a few of us have had Commodore D-Banger VNs lol (I had one as well).

I'm surprised a hoon like you @r32-25t never owned a VN :D

I wanted a vn as at one point but got the 215i senator and it was so slow it turned me off v8s for good

75 Mazda RX4 coupe (loved this thing)

71 Mazda RX2 coupe (why did i sell)

The RX4 is at the top of the list because it was my first car, had it for 6 years. It is still top of the list for most fun and the one i want back more than any other.

What a trip down memory lane.

I did put a deposit down on a 13B Turbo RX4 sedan, but my stepdad went apeshit and called the bank to cancel my loan lol
Probably a good thing as I may not be alive now hahaha

My step cousin has one under cover on car stands in a garage for the last 15 years.
Be interesting to see what its worth now days 

Guess I'll give a crack at my car listing too (kind of boring):

  • Mitsubishi Magna 1989, lasted 2 months gearbox died from D-Bangers
  • Commodore VN - D-Banger beast, welded diff
  • Toyota Cressida
  • 180SX it RB20DET
  • R33 GTS-t S2 40th Anniversary
  • Honda Accord CG1 V6 (best FWD burnouts)
  • N15 Pulsar Q
  • R33 GTS-t S2 (current shit box)
  • Corolla ZZE122R
  • Mazda 3 BL SP25
  • VW Tiguan (current)

I hope all the future car purchases are European LOL

R31 GXE - still have it
R32 GTS-t - dad crashed it
R32 GT-R - still have it
N16 Pulsar - sold it for below
Gen 5 Liberty GT wagon - dog hauler

You people change cars like I change underwear :P

Why? Have you switched teams?

Sometimes I wish I changed earlier, something about them just works and makes me smile.

Funny enough getting the reflash on the Tiguan has made it so enjoyable I wonder why I even have a Skyline in the backyard. Should replace it with a Golf R LOL

I am still to get the Prado tuned, but all things point to it being a good thing (even NA as they are really very lazy). 

As much as Golf R would be fun, I would feel like a bit of a girl driving it to be honest, that's more my hang up about hatches, but when I drive a car only on weekends/for fun etc I want it to look cool and VW don't make anything that looks cool. Maybe the Scirocco or whatever it was called? 

Wagons bro, fairly uncool. 

But that said, I also thought an RS6 or something would be fun lol 

I think I'll still like the idea of a 335i/435i as a cheap fun weekender. Tune, intake, zorst and some carbon rice bits and enjoy for a year or two then flog it off nefore it needs eleventy repairs. 

Just waiting for the 2km dirt road to my place to get sealed, then I just have to deal with the 400m or so of dirt driveway on my property and the 30 od degree incline at one point lol Won't be sealing that, not spending 100k on bitument lol

Real mixed bag in there, why did you get rid of the 40th anniversary?   Also, RB20 180SX is a hell of a fun combination - one of my favourite cars I've spent any time thrashing was an S13 with an RB20DET running a TD05-16G and 20psi up it and a mad screamer pipe, so so much fun.

Mine goes a little something like this:

  • 1987 Suzuki Alto 
  • 1989 Honda Prelude Si
  • 1992 Honda Prelude Si-VTEC
  • 1985 Toyota Corolla FX-GT
  • 1997 Nissan Skyline GTS-25t 
  • 1988 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi (soooo economical and unexciting)
  • 1992 Honda Prelude Si-VTEC (mad regrets for selling the first one)
  • 1981 Toyota Cressida 
  • 1997 Ford Fairmont 
  • 2004 Honda Saber 25V
  • 2007 Mazda Axela MPS

I think I've peaked.

    • 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/
