We haven't got long now and I imagine most of us will be spending the day before Marques in the Park polishing our pride and joys - Should we look at meeting up somewhere and helping each other out with hows, whys and why nots etc

If not the day before, we could choose another day/evening etc but need people there like Mick (Bullet32) to provide guidance etc and to hit us over the back of the head if we do something silly.

I'm sure some of you have some real handy techniques for doing this type of work and it would be fun... I'll even try hard not to put any sh!t on anyone >_< okay... we all know I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if there is enough room here at my place, but its a thought - open for suggestions!

I'd be interested depending on the day its happening.

Bah im going to have to get to canberra at some ridiculous time to polish it before Marques, bugger spending hours cleaning then driving down Barton HWY in the early morning >_<

I'm interested

However the day before I will be at a wedding so here's 1 vote for an afternoon somewhere >_<

I was actually going to take the Friday off and do it then... it's a good excuse as any

Hmm, are you sure that you want an EX detailer showing the tricks of the trade...

I might have forgotten everything, it was about 3 years ago :D

Anyone who turns up with Franjipani's will be asked to leave and not turn up to Marques in the park either...

Yes... we're sure we want you to show us the tricks of the trade... even if they are three years old

okay... I'll beg :DMick

Well... Since youre begging.....

I'll think about it. :P

Okay Michael... enuff thinking, where and when? Jeno/Jo might be able to organise underground car park access so we are in the shade, but there won't be power (??? do we need power???)

What do we need Michael? And what day, Saturday or Sunday?

Hi Mick,

As Ladybytes says we just need a time/date of your willingness and what you need us to bring "armor all" j/k.

My weekend, like a few others is on hold until we know when you would like to run this session. My GF will book me out if I don't get there first.

Thanks

I'll tell you what, you guys organise time and place and I'll tell you whether I can make it or not.

Bring any cleaning products that you want and I'll make sure that I tell you if its worth using or not, dont forget a chamois and rags.

Remember that a wash isnt a wash if it doesnt end with a good chamoising!

You wont need power / electricity unless someone needs their car machine buffed (and Im not doing that because it takes hours).

Remember that everyone will need to wash their cars to begin with so we'll have to meet up somewhere and then head off to a car lovers somewhere.

I think maybe meet at the museum early on Friday, 6:30 or 7pm, may give us some light left, or meet somewhere like Brindabella business Park or Brand Depot car park (nice and central) on Sat or Sun sometime.

    • 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!
