Kabab with cheese,

   OK What needed to be done.

Brake pads have to be Standard $1000 per pair or borrow some like I did.

Zorst & header pipe has to be standard, I bought a STD one $700 from turbo back. I can hire the STD one out to any R34 GTR owners if they get nicked by the RTA or need it for complicance $50 per week.

Suspension. I had the STD springs and sustension put in the back of the car when I bought it. I now have for sale a 500km old HKS hypre Max II for an R34 $1600.

Wheels and tyres. Need to be STD so I borrowed a set of R34'swheels and borrowed the STD size tyres $150 with all the work.

Air box borrowed the STD airbox.

On top of that the windscreen part numbers did not match up so I had to put a new STD windscreen in $400

The normal compliance stuff like fluids,  the complier looked after.

Once it was registered I had some mods done to it, he he! The Zorst, pods and wheels went back on.

Other then the 5 months it took it was easy!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, what are peoples thought on changing my log on or should I simply stay

Oz GTR97V?

Only with cheese oh come on man the works!!!

Sweet jesus thats alot of work but worth it :D It sounds like you holding onto the stock bits :D hopefully i will be contacting you about renting em ;) in the near future..

I have a spare set of stock front brake pads for any R34 GTR ~ 1/99 onward for sale if anyone needs them. Almost full meat left. $250 (save $750 :) )

They are currently just sitting around at home as I bought them in case i needed them for compliance.

Looks better in the flesh and those wheels are tough. Test drive well no not me yet although two of my mechs did today, and they both said VERY nice, which is hard for them to get excited sometimes. Will enjoy your company on the Sydney tracks next year Paul. YOu have worked hard and very happy for you. Blitz you got to get one soon.

Yeah, I currently have MADGTR on there, although Im not sure about changing the good old OzGTR. I might ask the admin people if they can simply change my name by removing the 97V off the back.

    • 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/
