The same as HKS purple but with a pearl through it will have to check the exact name for it at work.

OK so bit of progress over the weekend. Fixed the thread on the LCA and bolted the knuckles up.

Picked up some ikeya formula tie rods, centered the rack and bolted them up with the spacers from JPP.

Seem to be getting slightly more lock to the right even with the wheel turning the exact same turns lock to lock. So thats doing my head in atm.

Also got some driftworks traction rods from Cartel to finish off my adjustable arms.

Took the boost controller out of the system and hooked up a boost gauge and went for a test drive. Gate opens at about 7psi and boost creeps to about 10-11 by redline. Wasnt cutting and drove smoothly. Didnt want to take it too far cause of the wheel alignment being way out. Have one booked for Saturday morning so more testing on the weekend, get to cruise around Lakeside on Sunday if the cars going well so should be able to sort some shit out. Matsuri is approaching fast!!

Yeah the green is a bit more subtle, not real sure on the colour yet either. Did do a pretty rubbish job of spraying them though haha.

Teks are a strange wheel they have 2 good 'angles' but look nasty in general. Hope that made sense...

Starting to get really picky with this car. Think it will need a makeover soon or ill start getting bored with it :(

Wanted to test out Doomah's wheel alignment so got in on a skidpan day, couldnt wait for qr to reopen.

First time testing it on the pan with the 25 and lock. So much easier to drive :)

And after almost two years of owning this shit tin found the taillights that I wanted. Now looks like a christmas tree so have to repaint the wheels. Was thinking red. Thoughts?

Haha yeah that candy purple is not worth doing on these wheels :P

Gotta stick to the export quality range. Havnt done red or blue yet so they are the most likely choices.

Booked in for morning session in March and now have a GoPro 2 so will finally get some decent footage!

So first week of having the car home has had a lot of progress. Cleaned up the engine bay- mounted oil cooler, remounted catch can and fuse box, tidied up the rest of the loom, painted wheels red and found why the boost controller wasn't working. Car had started toeing in at the front for some reason couldn't figure out why so did a quick alignment tonight. After a couple of turns of the lh tie rod fell out of the rack. Very lucky it happened then and not on the highway/track. Also put one of the euro lines on the front and seems to fit...

Need a small slip on and a slightly smaller tyre but should work.

Tomorrow involves 2-way, 25 turbo and degrease engine bay.

    • 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!
