I'll put this out there now: whomever may be so lucky to command ownership of Twoogle better look after her, or else I'll be comin' for ya! Twoogle is the only other GT-R I hold dear to my heart, so the new owner better love her at least as much as I do, LOL!(Do I sound like a stalker, or what???)

Have you got any current pics of the car?

Car has travelled about 50klms since it was on the cover of HPI (the last pic i put up) so it looks no different...under the hood is a little different.

The changes since the article are...

New HKS T51R SPL BB turbo kit (modified to new HKS T62 spec compressor rated at 1150hp) all ceramic coated with high temp black on turbine and manifold. Cerami-chrome on compressor cover.

New HKS GT-II 60mm external wastegate.

New Earls braided oil and water lines.

New CES 5 inch stainless dump pipe and wastegate pipe both coated in high temp black.

New PPG fully optioned billet straight cut dogbox.

New NPC race twin plate clutch with billet flywheel.

New Nismo 2 way rear diff.

New modified transfer case done by Award Diff and Gearbox.

New fully optioned Vi-PEC V88 ecu with 7 bar map sensor and plug-in adaptor.

Thats over $25000 dollars worth!!!

This is not some tired old clapped out racecar, its been maintained to a world class standard and has a fresh engine and driveline. It will have the potential to be an 8 second car when ran at the strip with over 900hp at the tyres when ran-in and tuned.

Due to the last deal on the car being a dead end its still available.

This car IS a bargain and i cannot believe ive still got it.

Does anyone have anywhere near asking price that is keen to put in a serious offer?

Start a business and lease the car for trackdays or something?

1k a day, wouldnt take too long to recover your investment.

Ide pay a grand to drive this for the day at a track, can you find 54 other people?

car still on the market but full price still. (it will take that for me to part with it)

thats not such a bad idea really... i paid $500 for a half day rally school... in which i got to drive an 4ac powered ae86... twice, for 5 min, and an 02 sti.. twice, for 5 min... there were 15 other gits who did the exact same thing.. then there was another "class" coming through that afternoon... to do the same thing. 30 x 500 = $15000... in one day.

whether you are able to get races or not paul... you cannot sell this car.. you will regret it.. you have spent too much time and put in too much effort to sell it.. like you say, the recent additions alone have cost you $25000, so how long will it take you to have the money to buy the car off you.. so to speak? put it aside, put a car cover over it, forget its there until the bub grows up... the car is done now.. you dont have to spend anymore money on it... it will not cost you anything to keep it, whether its driven or not.. you'll never be able to get it back again, or build another like it (unless you really hate money)

cheers

Just the cost of the quality aftermarket parts alone would be worth more than the purchase price of the whole car, let alone the time and energy invested in putting everything together! If I only had more an extra garage space for this.....

Good luck with the sale!

    • 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
