good tyres hey, next on my todo list..nankangs not holding on

as for everybody doing their short drives and complaining that their car runs crappy..take a nice long (500kms at least) drive on the weekend every month or 2...does wonders for your engine.. :thumbsup:

If you have ever opened up a motor thats been run hot and hard you will see how clean they are..

problem is all the short drives everything tends to carbon/gum up over time..getting it hot and burning off all that gum can be as easy as a long drive, fill the tank with premium add a bottle of injector cleaner and drive till its empty..fill it up again and drive home..It can do wonders..alternatively just do donuts in the carpark for an hour...If your really fussy when you get back throw a bottle of oil flush in then change the oil too...

If your talking about the car listed in your sig, you have shit tires! LOL!

Mine will hold all the way through second gear, and if theres a fat ass in the back it will be not to bad in 1st either (if i have a full car, 1st gear from 1500rpm will hold all the way through. Pretty neat feeling actually.) :) 255/17 Adrenaline. 280-300odd dyno dependant killerwasps. GT30 .82 @ 17psi.

mine seems to have a very table top torque delivery, when it hits 5000rpm it pulls very hard, feels like it would keep pulling to 8000rpm if it could, but i do have some crappy tyres also, plus tein coilovers dont absorb bumps that great, slightly rough road = sideways action

needs some fat biatches in the back seat i think :laugh: but i want my back seats to remain dry... lol

LOL! Funny you mention that, as Lithium always said that the higher mine revved the harder it seemed to pull, and it really really takes off after 4500rpm. Makes full boost from 3200-3700odd gear dependant.

This is the best example i could find. 1st one is 2nd from 2500rpm.. 2nd is self explanatory. I have Teins in mine too, and as you can see the road is rather bumpy. Seems to cope pretty well! My last day in NZ in May before moving to Perth. Poor Skyline sitting in a garage not getting loved :(

Everyone loves VIDEOS!!

what about third gear from 3000rpm on a good road, but i know what you mean, third is my only gear that will hold power down, and i can feel its just holding on too.

3rd fries too... So no good... And I am only at E54 on low boost... So if it's frying now it's only going to get better :Pl

just love that gt30 spooling up, nice package too, looked like you didnt need that fat chicks in that one lol :P

Get some 255 or 265 quality tyres on the back none of this poser tire rubbish, power ain't worth shit if you can't use it

Good call! I normally run decent 265s but the dyno date come up fast and all I had was some 235s so I am sure a nice soft 265 will help :D

I don't like stretch, or stance etc... My car is legal height and quiet az... I just have crap rubber at the moment and it's makes 300+ unusable, yet sooooo amusing! Never felt anything like it!

JEM put so many safety measures in place too so I can be confident with the car (unlike my last idiot that tuned the car and is now going out of business........ Well I think and hope)...

  • Like 1

I like your thinking.... I am sick of the "moar low" and "needs spacers" comments.... Needs good rubber and some driving ability and that's it!!!

I like function over form :)

Form is function ;)

Your hurting my brain :P

On topic and on the most recent topic, who is using cheap YET grippy tyres on their 300+ machines, I'm talking RSR, 123s, Ku36 etc.... I dunno which one to get, I'm a bit broke after the whole build and need a temporary solution :)

Good on ya, as long as you know how things should be.

Unlike others who complain they can't get traction who coincidently have stretched cheap rubber lol with rims out the guards, tough is a car where performance isn't compromised by fads

i run 300+ rwkw with stretch, rims outside the guards, low and still have traction.... it's all in the setup

wasnt complaining. .just a statement, its a learning curve and its one thing at a time, and on a budget, my tyres and wheels are flush and fill the arches like they should,

i will move onto the traction when the power improvements are finished and it will remain low, full and with 265 ku36's on its fat arse thankyou very much.. :nyaanyaa:

lol... i seem to get around 15/100 across a tank daily driving with 98 ron

on e85 think more 20/100

:woot: Wow 20/100?! On eflex my economy is around 15.7/100 ;) but id imagine the higher the ethanol content the higher the consumption

Wasn't referring to you but your set-up is going along nicely :thumbsup:

    • 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!
