what time do i be at your place to pickup your car?? :D

nah hope youre feeling better soon mate. this flu shit is going around. ive been waking up the last few days with a bad sore throat, and having it all day. i CANT afford to take more time off work. but i found an easy solution for the sore throat, before bed, gargle vodka. but dont spit it out, thats a waste, drink it! then youll fall asleep better :) it worked for me last night, i think ill keep doing it till im better hahah

oh yeh i might try that, will have to raid the missus's vodka stash....yeh i havent had the flu in years and years and years so its a real c-unit when you get it....

still soldiering on though, havent had a sick day since 2005, and that was to have some of my intestines removed, so it kinda warranted it....

Nickkkkkkkk do another update list....

Update what?

OK, just about everyone is coming, except maybe Scott due to ice hockey and/or his hearse-hating girlfriend.

Address: 1 Leeds St, Rhodes (Google Map HERE)

Time: 3pm onwards - no idea on finishing time as yet, we'll just go with the flow on that or wait until Jetwreck kicks us out...

OK, does anyone, by chance, have a small portable BBQ that they can bring along? Seeing as we may be there for quite a while, it might be handy to have some food available as well as the coffee van/cart that we're hoping to obtain. The shopping centre is only 3mins away, so that is another (last resort) option, but if we can avoid a run to the shops it might make things easier for all.

Dang, didn't we invite the guy with the gas stove in the back of his stag? :laugh:

if your bringing anything like that let us know if you want me and the wife to bring anything down, might ask her if she wants to make a cake for our 1st meeting. but she will probably slap me, i know my place lol.

I like how he just volunteers my services, don't you?? lol

We don't have a portable BBQ (PS: great idea though!!), but are happy to pick up something if we're having a bbq, etc.

Oh well, if we can't get a BBQ there, we'll have to make sure we can order a coffee/snacks van so we can all ride on a caffeine and sugar fix.

An extra bonus of having this on this Sunday is that it's a long weekend! :)

Nick i do have a little portable bbq, it takes a little while (a long while) to heat up, and might not heat up evenly, but

at the end of the day it heats up, i can try bring that? It isnt very big though, it would still be alright to crank some

sausages on. Gas bottle would need to be supplied though....

Tell her she has to make a cake in the shape of a stagea....and seeing as there are series 1 and series 2 c34's,

as well as m35's, that means she has to make at least 3 cakes....get on her case she only has a few days....

    • 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!
