Starting on this new project..and would like your thoughts/comments.

Not going too crazy with the mods:

R33 Gtst gearbox

S14a rear diff

HKS 28/35 TURBOS

upgraded fuel system etc..

custom fab for intercooler and piping

Car is at Advan, expect a 4-6 month build, will post photos of the build

would like some feedback about the Hypertune plenum also......

may have issues clearing clutch master... ooh and say goodbye to the nice chassis balance you had with the SR :D

You can use a gtr style radiator cooler and piping kit, no need for custom if your budget is stretched. Here are some pics of the old setup (T517Z, GTR radiator, cooler kit and piping kit unmodified). I will post up the latest pics 2moro with the K5 and greddy plenum (which fouls the clutch slave badly).

x2. Friend of mine has one with a monster turbo set up on it, he can barely make 1/2 throttle in 4th without it smoking the rears up.

Very cool, but IMHO very pointless if you cant enjoy that power.

Smoking 4th at 1/2 throttle could be a very enjoyable way to use the power..

4th gear wheel spin at half throttle??? this i need to see to believe

Ok i tell a tall tale slightly. It was on a damp racetrack :)

Every time he went passed i was waiting for full boost, gentle 2nd, gentle 3rd spool spool, 4th, spool spool smoke smoke sideways sideways, back off.

Put it into the kitty litter once and buried it up to the sills :)

Cant remember the exact specs, but it did have a reasonably large high mount. So im guessing the lag, and maybe sudden power doesnt help? Not sure.

It was very easy to keep up with him in my stock turbo R33. Most amazing thing to watch tho ever time he got on the power it just spun the wheels, made orgasmic noises and didnt get any further infront of me haha

I can believe it would turn tyres.

Mine would turn coming onto boost in 3rd with 370rwkw and that was just on the freeway, just as it ramped up - traction disappeared.

And my grip is quite good (280rwkw, never brakes traction at all unless im savage in 1st to 2nd gearchange)

So with 2835's you are looking at worse than what i was getting.

here are the pics with the larger plenum, rear of plenum fouls the clutch master and both require about 3mm worth of shaving (6mm total). I also slotted the engine mounts and carriers.

please bear in mind the car is dummied together for dynoing and is not complete and tidy.

This is the T51R SPL RB26 one that was at Taupo? Its not very sensible :) Yeah RWD with over 400rwkw without drag radials isn't a good idea, Ashleys 25t on normal road tyres had no traction in 1st, 2nd and 3rd and the increase in traction in 4th actually made it seem more dangerous than the lower gears. Something very unnerving about passing 160kph and the back end starting to wander!

    • 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!
