Ye i plan to get an overlay (if my old tune is still on the tuners PC).

Havent got anything in my hands yet as it was just a setup without even a tune (factory ECU still)

I wont be fixing that wont be for a month or two yet, the GT-SS setup feels stronger everywhere.

I think its as much the turbo choice as the motor, being 26's are much nicer than 25s.

A setup that did feel strong was a GCG hi-flow R34, Bass Junky's/Petes car.

That felt similar to the GT-SS setup i have now. His setup was much better suited to the 2.5ltr.

Doesnt have massive top end, but the midrange is sensational.

This is a GCG manifold with at GT35 on an RB26.

I am looking at getting the gcg high mount manifold too, these are the pics i was sent.

In these pics it seems to me the pipe the gate mounts off goes towards the front of the car and not the rear, and im not 100% sure that is right.

Do you have and pics of your manfold BOOSTED? Also any reason you went the turbosmart gate and not the tial??

cheers

wow Dave your car has certainly gone through some changes since the start of 07!!

I'll certainly be following your progress, as this could be my next move next year!

Keep us up dated mate!

Cheers,

Chris!

Sure has mate,abit annoying when there is a drive day on of some sort and my car is on stands,im jinxed lol

Will see you out there in 2008 though for sure, i even bought a second car,its no grandpa spec skyline but it does the job.

CHEERS

My RB26, GT-SS setup feels heaps faster @ 250rwkw than my RB25/GT30 setup did @ ~280rwkw because there is power everywhere.

That'd have to be at least partly due to the difference in mass between an R33 and R31 chassis though? Weight counts for a lot.

That said, having a little less power spread over a wide range - rather than concentrated over a narrow range will make for a better thing all round. Matter of interest type question: what sort of useable rpm range does the 26 with GT-SS work over?

While the 26 is definitely spec'd overall better than a 25, depending on the power level I think there's a good argument for having something with VVT. Not flaming something up, just commenting that the 25 isn't a dog by any means. The 26 though, is a better base platform. :P

that looks pretty nice, id just be worried bout the cable ties on the wastegate heat rapp near the top :S

It does look very tidy overall. Good effort, and I'm especially interested in the work done to control/contain heat. I'd think the cable ties are very temporary, and we'd see either tie wire or a clamp of some description take its place before installation.

Looks like you're going to be aiming for some fairly serious output there Dave; no longer a daily drive proposition? What are you doing with management systems?

ECU is Power FC,Fuel system is Nismo pump and Nismo 555cc injectors,still stock ignition.

And no the car wont be my daily driver anymore,mostly used as a sunday driver and track day car.

lol never thought i was going to take it this far.But the car has turned into a hobby.I dont drink,smoke or gamble so i have to spend my money on something :P

HR31 and R33 almost come in the same actually.

Im 1400kg's without me in it.

R32's were 160kg's lighter as you can see when you put the two cars next to each other.

Not a lot of 'refinement' in the 80's im afraid. Everything electrical is huge and chunky compared to further models.

eg, my powersteering pump was 2x the size of a R32 GTR one (both hicas) lol.

Oh the 25 isnt a piece of shit. But if you had a choice, you'd just get 26 off bat.

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • 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
