yeah but its heavier than a normal r32 and isnt a full time 4wd.

if it was in sydney i would've had a look at it. im a bit reluctant to come to hobart in a chance that i MIGHT buy it. plus i cant take a day off work. the most i can offer you is 10g without looking at it.

I assume you would not buy a GTR then??

The AWD is EXACTLY the same PRINCIPLE in the GTS4!!

I think the drive shafts are slightly smaller the ony difference.

As for the auto, when my GTS4 is going shortly with AUTO & AWD, I would say meet me out at the drags to see just how good it is!

This is obviously a great Skyline in excellent condition like I bought mine 8 years ago, I doubt the buyer would regret it, but I am wondering why its for sale?

It is for sale purely for commercial reasons. It was recently imported for me to sell to help fund a Targa Tasmania entry.......So nothing to hide, no sinister reasons for sale.

The car is in Launceston, only one hour drive from Devonport where the car can be driven on to a car ferry to either Melbourne or Sydney - roll on / roll off. Direct flights in to Launceston (Tasmania is not a neighbour of Antartica!).

I don't understand why people are so down on autos, especially those of you who use manuals as daily drivers in heavy traffic. Yep autos put the power down beautifully, and that little extra weight of 4wd is fantastic in the wet, besides who spends their whole life hanging the tail around the corner.

and as for buying a gtr.. i used to own one, i sold it not long ago but now im looking at sticking in an rb30/25 hybrid into my next car.. not sure if you can hook that up to a 4wd system

No idea about this. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people out there who'll give some advice.

    • 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/
