Yeah dads done lots of manuals before, I only have to deal with autos really for work so he did most of the truly stuff.

Replaced all the bearings, needle rollers and the two thrust washers and new 2nd+4th synchros. $660 I think all those parts cost to my door and I just had to get a few other parts from Nissan.

But if you don't have an oxy, a press, pulling tools and some lever bars/large flat screwdrivers I wouldn't even think about it. No wonder there a tough box, so many things are press fit and there's barely any room to pull them off. That's why we had to use the oxy to heat alot of it up

The NPC lightweight billet flywheel is a great item but. Doesn't feel to different but I've noticed it doesn't lunge if you take your foot off the gas in say second gear nearly as much as before

Also put some lube on the pivot ball. No more squeaky clutch for me

If you copy the pullers off the Nissan manual its a piece of piss i got Mackay harbour engineering to copy some of the pullers and punches for me, and its not that hard at all the dog box in the R32 will be 10x easier than a synchro box.

Hey Jono why stick with the 2wd's, GTR's are the way to go i'm glad i got rid of my GTT i will never go back to 2wd skyline its a waste of time, yeah there good for getting sideways but thats it anything over 280kw and there just as useless as your local falcodores, just my opinion but a 600hp GTR is awesome in everyway!!!!!!!!banana.gif

I found a orginal 69 GTR in japan the other day for $55,000 landed in Oz but my tight arse brother wouldn't go halves with me, now that would be the ultimate thrusday nite cruiser.

Holy crap Jono, can't believe your car gotten written off!!! Also what a cunt for saying that about your car!

Also Callan if you want to wait a bit for that carbon cooling panel I will know of a brand new one available (no not mine) for cheaper than elsewhere.

Is it like the PSI Parts one that covers the whole front section (cause I've seen ones that stop about where the lights start)

If so, very interested in that. Let me know

Also have the Easter cruise DVD's ready to go. I'll PM you about that later Phil but PM me first if you want so I don't forget.

Anyone else who wants one let me know and we can have a meet up or something

Holy crap Jono, can't believe your car gotten written off!!! Also what a cunt for saying that about your car!

Yeah man it really sucks ass. Whats even worse is that I think I may need knee surgery. F-U-C-K-I-N-G C-U-N-T. Thats all I can say about surgery. I've had too much of it lately.

Here is a pic. crash.jpg

Thanks mate, the support is appreciated

My heads been a mess lately. Dizzy, (slurring for the first week), forgetful, agitated etc. Doc said it all part of head trauma \ brain damage. Not permanent, but she said like any other body part, when its injured and needs to heal, it doesn't work properly either. Only downside is that the brain can't be shut down \ not used to help heal it, so it takes a bit longer. Said I should be back to normal in the next 2-3 months. Knee most likely needs surgery, hip pretty f**ked.

Plus, air bags are c*nts. Its not like getting punched in the face, a fist is only a small area. An airbag smashes your WHOLE face at once. Much more spread out force.

Anyway, how is your dads car going? I hear its getting close to completion. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Probably not something you want to hear now, but if/when your ready to part out some stuff let me know. Got a few things I need that can start funding the next project

It's a shame to see that car like that but, so I don't blame you if you don't want to think about that straight away

Yeah the old air bags can f**k ya up, especially when your not expecting them to smash your face in, I wish you a speedy recovery man thumbsup.gif

Dads car is coming along pretty good had a few little mechanical drama's 1.the power steering wasn't working and 2.exhaust manifold was leaking and couldn't tell where. So we spend 2days fixing them turns out the power steering pump we bought was completely f**ked internally so we just had to steel the one of my r33 for now. As for the exhaust leak we pulled apart the turbo,manifold and everything, cleaned it up and slapped her back together and now its fine. It should be all back together in the next few weeks. Scott Paddy a photographer from HPI Magazine is coming down on the 24th of June to do a shoot on it just as it rolls out the shed, he said he wanted to shoot it all brand new before we go and abuse it and i think he's gonna stick around for the car show the next day. The next few weeks are gonna be exictiting can't wait to see what finally gonna look like it's nearly been 3 yrs since we started this project and can't wait to show all these f**king arseholes in mackay and even some of these dip shits on SAU that have been bagging us out, telling us our goal is ridiculous, they can't all go eat a dick and hopefully chock on it.

I hope all the skyline guys and gals can come out that weekend and support us, as a RB screaming at 10000rpm will not dissappoint lol plus it will pump out a fair bit of smoke to banana.gif.

Nah its all good mate, I know you have good intentions. I've already got a stack of people wanting the engine, gearbox, diff, etc.

Just let me know what you want and I will make sure its available.

tell me about it. ahahaha - You're comment "Smashing your face in" is a f#$cken classic. Its funny because its f#cking true.

Dude - And you know what? All those losers will be eating dicks, and well, they probably already do.

This car is a weapon, and you guys have come so bloody far with it. well done for sticking to your dreams. Looking forward to seeing and hearing it hot 10,000rpm. I can still remember your dad talking about that. Saying that it will not be doing anything less. Determined. And good on him.

Cheers Jono, dreams are funny sons of bitches they don't come cheap hahaha!!!!

I hope i doesn't disappoint anyone but there will be some jealous smug prick that will disagree with everything we have done and if it does disappoint they are welcome to settle it on the blacktop lol, its funny cause my old man will have a heart attack if ever hit full boost whilst behind the wheel, it was funny enough watching him run out the dyno room when it would back fire and make loud noises. I just hope my lil brother doesn't put it into a wall or some shit, he's had the most drag experience in GTR's so far even in my R33 he's had like 10 runs in my car and i've had 2 (WTF i'm too generous). Its a big step from going from a 500HP GTR that we haven't driven for 6months to a 800HP GTR gonna be some arsehole puckering lol. Even on its lowest tune, it has a 21psi waste gate spring in it, it will still pump out 700rwhp and we haven't weighted the car yet but it would have to be around 1250-1300kg so power to weight is not to bad either. As for the 10000rpm we have only revved it to that a few times because this engine is so efficient it makes full boost at 6500 and by the time it hits 9000 its past its peak torque, but i'm sure the crowd will wanna hear some 10000rpm action cause i'm sure hell want to.

Nah its all good mate, I know you have good intentions. I've already got a stack of people wanting the engine, gearbox, diff, etc.

Just let me know what you want and I will make sure its available.

I mainly just want little bits and pieces. The front reo bar if its still pretty straight (the one I have now is off a car thats been crashed a few times so is not in the best shape and not exactally straight which is why the front of my car doesnt line up 100% hah) and maybe a few iinterior trims. Thats about all I'm really after that I can think of.

But All good, Get well in the mean time and let me know when your ready to start getting rid of stuff.

I dont need anything urgently

So not gonna re-use the engine in the next car? I suppose if you get a GTR and do a 26/30 you already have the more expensive half of the engine with the car.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
