Are you in Japan at the moment?

I will be in Nagoya tomorrow (In Osaka at the moment) if you are in Japan and want help finding the place, though with gauges it is generally cheaper to buy them from Australia, We have a huge range in stock from the BF series, Racer series to the Advanced gauges. Savings are made on over single purchases.

dont want to tread on any sponsors toes... but you should be able to destroy Aus prices if buying them in Japan. Even if you pay full RRP. Shops arent usually the best places for good deals, compare the price of Slides stuff and work it out for yourself.

Not that many shops in Japan always carry a full range of parts on the shelf, because most parts companies can ship out any part you want in a day or two at the most, so it's not worth them wasting the floor space or money.

The best way to do things is to print out a page from Defi's website before you go and circle the parts numbers of the ones you want.

If there are pictures on the page you can point at, that helps too, since the people in the shop will usually be worried about making sure you're ordering the parts you want.

After that, pay them in cash (which often gets a discount) and have the parts delivered to the hotel you're staying in. They should arrive in a couple of days.

don't bother with Autobacs or Superautobacs... That shop is basically the Japan version of Autobarn. They only sell at RRP, and if they have a sale, its not much of a discount.

I just came back from Crystal tonight. The staff there is very helpful and WOW the prices are great (way cheaper then RRP)! Prices there are inc Tax, and if you buy a few items, they will give you a discount. I have 3 days left in japan, and I've spent 90% of my japan budget :P

Thanks all......no I'm not in Japan at the moment but a short business trip might be coming up soon.

Obviously I know how much the stuff I need will cost to buy here in Oz, but figured that I may be able to save on postage etc.

Blitz....Is Crystal located near Nagoya? Do they have a website that you could point me to?

Cheers.

crystal is in chiba near tokyo which is no where near nagoya. best off using streeter to buy you some on-line. just like in aus, in japan the cheap deals are on-line. get streeter to buy the stuff you want (he can even do it before you leave) then have him send it to your hotel so you can carry it home so save that $50 on postage. :D

he's posted in this thread. send him a pm, tell him what you want and he will tell you the cheapest way to get it. he buys from yahoo and from parts wholesalers etc. you pay him a small fee and for that he will use his contacts to buy you the parts, send them to you and will save you some ¥.

      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
