yea i think your right there, just putting cash aside now for t400 auto box and trans brake so im expecting to break diffs and axles more often when i get it all in the car. i found billet axles for my car rated to 1000hp for 550 delivered so if i break them again ill just upgrade. diffs i have just not axles.

Are they for Gts-t cause I only ever find GTR ones which I assume are longer?

Debating wether it's better to have the driveshafts as the weakpoint or not cause if I get stronger ones it's only gonna be something more expensive that will break instead......

Driveshafts should not break if the suspension is setup properly, the only other way they will break is fatigue from doing a million launches in them. If you have have really hard spring rates like 7-9kg/mm on the rear well that is way to hard, and if your car gets axle tramp when the wheels spin well that will also cause it to be weaker. Personally i don't know if GTR shafts are longer than GTS ones but i'm gonna guess and say they should be the same. If you are gonna be drag racing the car all the time then its probably worth spending some coin on the rear end suspension getting it right so when the car squats for a launch the driveshafts are as straight as possible. + dumping the clutch at 6000-7000rpm is not good either as this shock loads the whole drive train, in GTR's when you dump the clutch at 8000-9000rpm all the time i guarantee you will end up breaking something really quickly, need to side step the clutch by releasing the pedal slowly and letting the clutch grab slowly it might just save the drive train a bit of shock load. I see people all break shafts all the time, i've owned skylines and GTR's now for 6yrs + and have never broken a drive shaft yet and i thrash the shit out of my cars ask Kingy he can concur with this lol thumbsup.gif.

Haha yeah. I think my driveshaft that snapped was a bit of a random thing. Ask anyone I don't really do hard launches around town, I'm a girl and all that shit yeah yeah :P

But it's always in the back of my mind now, I'm mainly worried about if I ever get semis. But I need to slip the clutch a bit next time I go out for a run. The button clutch won't make it easy but I'll manage :)

cal, I did stacks of drags and launches and stuff, and with semi slicks and never had an axle problem. I think your problem was a bit of a fluke.

Also, always let the clutch out, never side step. Too much shock, and you'll only create unwanted wheelspin.

Does beat the shit out of it..... When its not parked up being worked on lol...:P

Ben, would t waste your time with the dirty thirty.

You're better off with the dirty whore, thirty four. Haha.

The rb30 cranks are a bit old to be spinning hard. The rb34 kit from spool has a billet crank in with the package. Costs $5k. Spin the f**ker to 10k and bolt twin gtx3071s on it, haha.

You need to set the record straight with the xr6ts ;)

Ah i got 2 RB30 blocks at home a shitty N/A block and a Turbo Block, should just sell them and spend it on my N1 engine or sell the lot and twin turbo the Z, hhmm never own 2 good cars it just makes it harder to figure out what to spend the money on.... someone buy my GTR i'm sick of looking at it.

the NA blocks are just as good as the turbo blocks (exactly the same) if they are a series 2 block. They have the oil and water lines for the turbo. Just bunged up.

I'd use one for the RB34 ;)

How long do you think Cals engine would last with the TO4Z on it? haha.

Lol Stock RB25 with T04Z = LAG MONSTER i'd give a week before it would blow a piston and rings to bits rolleyes.gif

I remember my mates R34 GTT i built for him with a GT3540 on a stock engine, damn that thing had bulk lag but was awesome fun on boost.

Seen an RB25 with a T04Z (all be it not as new design as the one you have) and yeah..... No thanks lol

The only reason I went HKS was for good mix of power and response, would have been more then happy with the Pro S. I'm sure of that

    • 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!
