Hey mate,

My VTIR is the last of the Prelude i.e. Gen 5.. which are worth approx 17k (there abouts there's a few in canberra for sale around that figure)

I've seen R32's (non turb) for around the 10 figure..

I'd be willing to sell my Prelude for $16,500. The figure is neg a bit. but depends if the buyers is serious..

Dont have an R32 non turbo but I'd consider buying your car if it were at a reasonable price.

A R32 na = maybe 5-10g

+ 6g?

Too much 4 me i'm thinking.

The only ACTSAU na owner that I know is Dayne (R33 - RB20) but I'm pretty sure he wants to hang on to that...

NSW isnt that far away?

Neither is VIC?

Come to think of it. Freight trains pass through most of the major citys??? Try going national dude.

OR

Just sell it and buy an R32 with the cash.

I know its easier said to sell mine and then buy, but quite difficult to do!

But i'd also be interested in a NA R33 again same thing, minor cash adj.

there are some cheap gts-t R32's out there, but they are quite far away!

so a turbo is prob out of the question.

Most people probably wont like this but I have to say it.... Good luck mate, I dont think you'll find anyone keen on that deal as even nonturbo Skylines have much more tuner potential than a Honda prelude, Skylines are cheaper and easier to modify and alot prettier then Preludes and even if your not into modding it they are still a better all round car, Preludes were designed as a semi luxury semi sports car and theyre not even on par with Skylines...

Just my opinion, but good luck anyway! :)

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      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).
