There was a Time Attack and High speed run for the 35's.

In the first session the HKS 35 ran just over 311 kph down the main straight of Fuji.

Top Secret ran around 303 KPH.

I was talking to a mate from HKS and he said on the Saturday practice they ran just over 320 KPH !!

More later .................

Yep it was open to the public..great day just bloody freezing.

havent you spent time in Hokkaido? I heard it has gotten as low as -30C there although I could have completely misunderstood as it was said in Japanese. Gifu was pretty cold around the time of the HKS day - about 30cm of snow in the city - I made a snowman .... deformed and miniscule but a snowman nonetheless .... I called him John....John Howard....he is all melted now.

Cheers for the pics. I only found out about the day at Autosalon and had already planned to leave Tokyo and head to Osaka on the 22nd. In Osaka now but couldnt be bothered making the huge trip there an back again. Looks like awesome fun tho.

Yeah Loach been up to Hokkaido to do annual big snow clear of my house and yep theres beeb some cold days this winter..down to -27c in some parts.

January was some solid dumps in Hokkas but that wind at Fuji last sunday just ripped through you.

Down in Yokohama and heading out with some friends into china town for a bit of chinese new year celebrations and a good feed,music and beer.

I'll post some more pics next couple of days

House in Hokkaido?? Awesome!! Are houses expensive up there? I havent even been off Honshu yet - Miyajima doesnt really count does it .

Yokohama Chinatown is definitly one of the top places on my mental list to visit, might try for some jobs around Tokyo - my contract finishes at the end of the school year - March. Maybe visit Yokohama then.

Woops thread hijacking in progress :)

Yeah Loach houses,land,apartments are all in cheap in Hokkaido. Pretty much cheap all over Japan.

I think housing / land prices are running at an either 17 or 18 year record low with each year getting lower and lower.

There are many investment opportunities out there and buying property in Japan is 1) user friendly on the hip pocket and 2) very easy to obtain as a foreigner.

I bought into Niseko quite a few years ago when it was a quiet little town and picked up my place cheap as chips and its now worth very good coin.

There are some great investment opportunities for a low capital investment if you know what your looking for.

Yokohama...I love staying there, plenty of good restaurants, bars ,live venues,women,clubs plus great car scene.

Definitely worth you having a look.

I'll have more pics up tomorrow

    • 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!
