Thanks Shane, wont be using V power then and sticking with BP Ultimate.

My works the same at the moment slow as anything because holden and ford :) .... At the begining of the year however I was working 6-7 days a week and I was loving it. Im hoping the rumor of 5 weeks off over christmas doesnt come true, because I'll be in China all of Feb without pay. All my hard work in the begining of the year is cancelling out now ;)

thanks for that info Ruby

Try it for yourself see what ya think!

Yer well rumours true mate, we got a calender here from work atm and we break up on the 13th of december or something and don't back back until mid to late jan....Not good at all! Thought you worked for clipsal??

Seriously Glenn try V-Power your self.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The ONLY problem I've had with fuel in the 8years I've owned the R32 is 'ONCE' and that was with an apparent dirty batch of Mobil 8000.

If fuel made some ones car feel sluggish chances are they picked up the wrong pump thinking it was V-power and the knock sensors pulled a heap of ign. out or somehow the bloke re filling the tanks has pumped a little ULP in to the wrong tank.

If V-Power was known to perform worse tuners etc sure as hell would know about it.

All fuels are pretty much the same. I personally use V-Power is it works well and is slightly cheaper. It doesn't feel like it goes better nor can I push in more ignition on ANY other fuel apart from E10.

Pretty sure i know what pump has V power my friend im not stupid

lol.. Nothing to do with being stupid my friend. :)

I can run ULP and the car doesn't feel any different apart from it pings its arse off.

Your experience is definitely a once off. I have days where i think the car feels punchier or ramps on to boost harder than others. Its just the nature of the beast.

Definatly, somtimes i feel the cars a rocket other times its slow as a wet weak but what can you do

More boost so traction is always an issue then you wouldn't know any better. :P

What is stupid.. Trying to adjust the actuator to line up a little better and breaking the rod. Then having to drive around NASP. Then welded the rod and now can't find the rod that screws on to the actuator and connects to the wastegate flapper. :)

Yeah I did work for clipsal, but now for AI Automotive, as I lost my job at clipsal in January when I finished my apprenticeship... just after a big downsizing in nov / dec last year. AI do some work clipsal out-sourced, so thats how I ended up at AI.

Because we also do aftermarket parts and some clipsal work, im hoping I can manage to work through christmas, as I need a few things fixed on the DR now and Im guessing its not going to be cheap :P (power steering, coilovers [still not done after many months :) ], Muffler/exhuast , New Tyres, Wheel Allignment, Oil Leak, plus any other problems my mechanic can find )... Might get the Front Mount installed aswell while its getting worked on.

Meh AWD in the wrx kinda kills that equation though my friend, and the turbo setup in the DR is to linear even if i wind more boost into it (once i sort out the fuelling issue) i still don't rekon it'll be a wheel spinning fiend of a thing...It kinda reminds me of driving a SR20 on standard boost in its boost delivery...still 8 psi into a turbo designed to work over 16psi probably has something to do with that!

Did you end up finding that rod???

Oh AI automotive eh...we've got a few managers/engineers that came from that place, seems automotive is a place NOT to be right atm!

Shit champ, sounds like you've got as much to do on yours as i do on mine!! Pity i can't find anyone to rebuild my coil overs grrr!! Whats wrong with muffler?? Mine needs wheel alignment as well, needs my weird non brake pedal issue fixed as well...f**k it sell it and buy a GTR?!?!?!?!?

Yeah AI seems abit iffy at the moment I think, how long they will keep going...

My brothers mate rebuilds coilovers, I will get his number and PM it your way... The muffler got worn out by scraping too many driveways, So im just getting an exhuast made up like Josh's Purple beast as it looks good.

Funny I was just talking to my gf about a 32 GT-R on friday night, but I think I would regret selling the DR like Crimmo and Tom did :D ... also I wont get what I want for my DR ;)

Meh automotive in general is iffy mate....Refer to my post in the wasteland!

Oh i KNOW i'd regret selling the DR hence i haven't!!! Even though it hasn't moved for a while now haha!!

Yer that'd be sweet, i've organised to get some standard one's at some stage in life but probably won't happen for a while either on that front!! Bloody cars lol!!

    • 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!
