Greetings From Japan... Allow Me To Introduce Myself...


Recommended Posts

If any of you visit the UK GTROC forum I am quite active there, with the same screen name/handle.

But then realized that you guys and gals were almost in the same time zone... so this might be a better place to hang out? LOL

Here is a recent photo of my car, I lent my car to Tomei Powered here in Japan so that they could develop a full titanium exhaust for us R32/R33/R34 owners (I've been told that the exhaust IS backwards compatible with non-GTR models!!! - but that has not been verified....). It seems that most tuners in Japan are pretty much focused on the R35, so it was nice to have Tomei decide to support us older Skyline folks. Anyway they decided to use my car not only for the exhaust development but also to put in their catalog/website... heck I'm not complaining.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome Aki. I haven't posted around here for years but always check it out. Lot's of knowledgeable people here and lots to learn. Nice san-san BTW

Very funny Dino.

Hey Aki!

So this is your R33 GTR featured here: http://speedhunters....-prototype.aspx

So my understanding is that this Tomei Powered titanium exhaust is a universal fit for all R32 / R33 / R34 GTR's.

If so, it would make things a lot easier :P

Yep that's me.... and Dino...

Tomei will have a dedicated titanium exhaust for EACH model RB26 GT-R. Pricing will be announced on Dec 1 (in GT-R Magazine).... but a little birdie tells me that <cough> my blog may have that info even earlier, say around November 30?

Yes Aki will have the scoop on this. I think most people will be surprised....

yeah, I guess I will (if the rules on this forum allow) make a proper post of elsewhere on the forum too...

Awesome!

Will be looking forward to see the results.

Thanks :)

Thanks Zamnap!

Everyone, check out this link please:

109,000 Yen for a full titanium exhaust is unheard of!

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
