The only gripe I have with tyrepower is that there is this old wanker that works there that I almost got into a punch up with at a shell service station.

After fuelling up, I locked the car and went into the servo to pay. I never move the car unless I pay first - I have asked the attendants and they said you are not allowed to move your car unless you have paid. No one else moved their cars either.

He comes in, picks me out of the 10+ lineup and says

Him: "Is that your piece of shit skyline out there"

Me: I stood right up to him and said "Yeah why?"

Him: He took a step back and said "Well are you going to move the heap of shit?"

Me: "I moved back up to him and said "Watch your mouth, blah blah blah when I have paid for my fuel, walk away before I smack you in the face"

He walked away saying something I couldn't hear.

He was wearing a tyrepower shirt.

As I paid for my fuel and left, he was standing next to his car and did the old knife across the throat gesture. I hit the brakes and got out and he practically ran into the servo away from me.

A few days later I went to tyrepower branch on Shakespeare street and abused the manager and wanted have a chat to this guy. I was escorted out.

Apparently my car was a piece of shit to him. I definitely wouldn't leave it in their care.

Did he have grey-ish hair? There was a guy sitting at the desk that looked older, but a bloke with short darkish hair served me and was very helpful. That sucks man, i wouldn't take my car there if i were you either. I don't move for people at fuel stations either, can't be so impatient to wait a couple of minutes like everyone else..

my only concern with tyrepower is that one of the guys there when moving my car asked if it had a stall kit........

If anyone is doing any engine work I have 8 x head to block dowels that I dont need, had to buy a pack of 10 so have some left over. Nissan don't stock them so if anyone is in need of some let me know

they will fit RB20-25-26-30 AFAIK and probably also SR and CA motors

How much do you want for them mate?

I always keep spares of those and can definitely use them. Nissan down here keep them in stock (for me I presume) but I only have RB26 ones left.

RB26 runs a larger bolt so they will only fit 20/25/30 if you bought them for a 30. I think SR runs a different size as well but not sure on CA (I have one here but who cares)

They cost me less than $1 each fro memory but let me know what you want for them and I'll sort it out for you

He was tallish, probably about 6"2 \ 6"3, greyish hair, looked like he smoked a lot.

I don't think he expected me to stand up to him. Wasn't going to let him single me out of 10 people just because I made better choices in life and own a better car.

Yeah I don't move my car at servo until I pay also, unless my mates are waiting behind me then i'll move but other than everyone can suck a fat one.

Not even really supposed to anyway, I didn't do anything wrong.

ohhhh bringing the lols... so many big dream boats in mackay ohh and worlds best street fighters

Nice troll, but I have balls and will stand up for myself. Not going to let someone call my car a piece of shit and try and stare me down just because he's taller.

If walking away crying, and then jumping on the internet later and trolling is a better option for you, then no worries.

its called "being the bigger man".... all u had to do is say "mate im paying for the fuel and then ill move my car"

acting like that will get u stabbed or shot up... u know cos mack town's full of gangsta's

Ah yes I forgot about 26 head bolts being bigger.

Umm I spent $40 for the pack of 10 and I was just gonna give them out at $5 a set or something. I'll keep them till I know I don't need them (head should go on the block in the next 2 weeks) then you can have them for $10

I'll let you know, didn't expect anyone to be that keen on the lot lol

Yay finally finished this monstrosity and will be leaving our shed, Richards HKS T04Z 2JZ VVTi tyre frying machine. Has taken a year to finish due to the massive delays like the priority of R32 GTR Drag Car and my Las Vegas Wedding this year but now it ready to hit the road and be tuned. Car was completely stock before this build.

Spec List:

- Fully Stock 98 2JZ VVTi enigne

- Full HKS T04Z Turbo Kit

- Full HKS Type R Intercooler Kit

- HKS SSQ VI Bov

- HKS Timing Belt

- Koyo 52mm Radiator

- RBE Custom Thermo Fan Setup

- TRD Thermostat

- Greddy Oil Filter Relocator

- RBE Custom Oil Cooler

- Titan Motorsport Fuel Rail

- Titan Motorsport Triple Pump Hanger

- 3 Denso Fuel Pumps

- RBE Custom Braided Teflon Fuel Hoses

- RBE Custom Catch Can

- NPC Twin Plate Clutch (1000HP)

- Vipec V88 ECU

Power to be around 350 to 400rwkw on low boost maybe a bit more. Car will be getting slowly modified to look be better under the hood pretty hard to polish a turd :yes: .

Now to finish Kingy's R34 GTR off with new fuel system and ECU then i can relax and work on the 180.

Hmmm, judging on an estimated time-frame and that list of mods , I'd say that, 14, maybe 15 cartons was consumed in the overall process?

haha

Looks good, I bet its going to fry some tyres

    • 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!
