Knock on wood, nothing happened to me thank God.... Might have 1 or 2 chips on the bonnet but nothing major.. I was giving it to my car, in about 60% of the time i was in 3rd gear and 40% of the time in 2nd reving it up to 6000rpm on the GOR! The car seemed to love it and i didnt hesitate! :burnout:

On the way back it was fulll throtle, though suspensions are gay and the car feels like a boat when i do about 150-180km/h, sounds like my 2nd upgrade is going to be the suspension, then brakes upgrade to Brembo's!

Nothing like a good GOR run and back through th Otways to see if your car is upto scratch :O

mmm... some casualties indeed this time.

last time virtually no-one had after effects.

hopem it doesn't turn you guys off another GOR in the future.

well thing of it this way.. if the problems were there and they surfaced there, at least u guys know about them now :)

ur car seemed to go pretty well though max for a stocky, i don't think it can be anything *too* major?? it wasn't lacking power or anything going up those curves and things :O but i'd get a comp test just to be sure.

Monday morning to work (the day after) the car drives really sucks..... Gerald advised me to drive it gently, as I do now. It really like someone having a bad hangover the next morning...

Tuesday, oil level back up again, I can reach almost 6 when driving and above 2 when idle. Today is low again. Driving it gently feels fine, quite good actually, but not when the boost comes up, then all the flat spots are back laughing at you. Nothing I can do except just back it off and drive gently again.

Good for my fuel consumption though...

true that, it didn't seem to struggle too much, but the misses have became more and more noticeable... i normally drive off boost anyway but yesterday i pushed it a very little bit against a clubsport and i felt like it dropped about 500 rpms at about 3500, so i backed off (and he thought he was king shit)...

and today, once warmed up, my oil pressure hardly passed 2kg/cm2!!!

anywho, tomorrow morning will give me an indication of whats going on in the RB.. hopefully nothing too serious

AAhh...

that's all good then... soon... (2-3 months) i'll do another... but i think a different route is in order.

New roads not even I have been down before :O

Maybe out Colac way, more otway fun.

But hhmm... it is a good test for the car and it's limits/condition.

no doubt about that.

Anyway but not the kingslake-healesville route.. went there once and the road condition was so terrible in the mountains, I think it'll destroy all your shocks. Very twisty though, for those who likes it but not much view and road is only 1-1/2 lane width which means if a large car comes from different direction you could scrape them.

Like you said R31, it is good to know what the limit of the car is and what's wrong with it if pushed hard.

I'll go for another cruise again, no probs hehe

My oil pressure seem to be find now and is it sitting at 2 when idling and 4 when cruising. Will still keep an eye on it, but it seem to drive fine.

dropped off my car to ice this morning, my oil pressure was normal all morning?? (2 at idle, 4 at accel), but it's getting looked at it anyway.

oh and what i thought is missing... gerald says its just my clutch on its way out :) (good to know but bad for $$$)

hopefully he doesn't call me back with more problems

Good News!!! Gerald has given my car a clean bill of health, said he couldn't find anything wrong with my oil pressure so its probably just the gauge acting up a bit.

My clutch is slipping a bit but only in higher gears at higher accel so it *should* last until i can afford to replace it.

In fact, the dodgiest thing about my car is the weird exhaust, that i will try to replace ASAP.

    • 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!
