I lent my car to a mate for about a wheel (whilst he was building his 86) and ti came back with 2 massive dents in the drivers door. The bastard didn't even offer to help fix it or even say sorry!!!

Hope he isn't your mate any more :blink:

The guy looked around, saw a bunch of people watching, wrote a note, and placed it under the windscreen wiper.

As the guy drove off, my Uncle went and had a look at the note and saw that it was blank.

What a scumbag! Hope he got what he deserved.

I parked my old car in front of my house all the time... and then one day I woke up to see the number plates stolen. Not happy - about 3 hours late for work that day.

It's a quiet neighbourhood with decent people, so it must've been some lowlife cruising the streets in a hot car to pick up some plates to exchange. The plates were just normal plates, but it was a pain in the ass to get new ones.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what happens if your custom plates are stolen? I heard you can't get them back again, but that doesn't sound right to me.

This was discussed on the Evo forum recently. Personalised plates can be replaced but it appears normal ones aren't (that was the conclusion reached). Logically, if you pay $400-$500 for custom plates, someone then pinches them, why should you be penalised for their actions. Standard issue $30 plates though, just replaced with standard issue ones I believe.

About a year ago, it was 10pm, i was parked at a lookout in the parking. I had a black Honda integra.

A white holden commodore, was reversing, straight in to the back of me. As he hit me, i started up the car, having a bad gut feeling that he would do a runner.

He sat there for about 4 seconds before deciding to gun it. I reversed, went after him...

Eventually cought up to him on the freeway, i flashed my lights a number of times but he wouldnt pull over. Thinking i had all the evidence i need i went to cop shop.

I explained what happend and told the copper that i wanted press charges because the person did a runner and failed to stop to exchange details.

Another officer examined his car and because there was "no damage" there was nothign i could do. I was left with a hole in my bumper bar (body kit), had his details, had everything and couldnt do nothning....Whatta fair world.

On the other hand if i knew that i wasnt gonna get anyway with cops, i would have chased him down in his pissy commodore and belted the asshole.

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      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.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      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
