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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
