The "EDGE" R33 Skyline GTS25t has been out since 1999 at least, made by ****PIT TATEBAYASHI (GODDAM IT! I've been vBulletined!!)... it's still doing the rounds at the car shows, me and the SAU boys from Sydney saw this one at this years Tokyo Auto Salon. AFAIK, the kit has been copied and is sold in Australia already? Can someone clarify this?

Yeah Rezz, the first time i saw the car in one of the pics you took in your photo thread :rofl: Can you tell me a little bit about C0ckpit Tatebayashi as i can't read japanese on their webpage? I can barely find any info on the car or kit on the web, only on the Official C0ckpit website. Are they popular in Japan? Do they manufacter parts or do they just sell and tune stuff? In the Gts special issue of HPI there is a ecr33 with the kit that was imported.

About C0ckpit Tatebayashi: C0ckpit stores are just your regular "Bob Jane T-Mart" type wheel, tire and tune up place, but Tatebayashi (and others) have complete "turbo tune-up menus", where you can drive your S14 in, and 2 days later, have a 450hp monster on your hands, with a complete set of coil-overs and 18" wheels and tires too. So they do almost the same job as a regular Tuning workshop... I say almost, because the emphasis (and where they make most of their money) is in the wheel and tire business.

I'd go to C0ckpit if I didn't have any contacts with a regular tuning workshop (ie: C-West :rofl:) as they do the complete job in-house, and you can just choose a "tune-up package", you don't have to know what every part does.

About the "EDGE" bodykit: Sorry, my bad, I said before that C0ckpit Tatebayashi produced the "EDGE" bodykit... well they don't. The bodykit is produced by Emotion R, and is quite expensive compared to similar looking front bumpers by BoMex

Heres the EDGE front bumper for 79,000 yen (A$992):

...and the BoMex BM Type II front bumper for 30,500 yen (A$383):

I know which one I'd buy!

So C0ckpit Tatebayashi don't manufacture kits as such, but use other brands. I wouldn't say the EDGE kit is common (hence the price!) but they are made to the highest standards as is usual with the low volume Japanese brands. I guess try and go for a cheap EDGE knock-off, or the BoMex...

Thats pretty exy for just the front bumper! I have thought about going for the Bomex as it is similar, however I like the Edge much better. I dunno why but it appeals to me. There are also many more Bomex's around, which i guess is attributed to it's availability and price and good looks. I'm gonna have to do more searching to find a cheap knock off if one's available.

Thanks Rezz.

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
