hi everyone

my name is jazz im fairly new to SAU but have had my fair share of imports over the last few years, i started out with a 1996 NA jza80 supra which was an amazing car and great for my first import while still on my P plates. Unfortunately while traveling to work one day i was sitting at a give way sign and a driver of another car passed out at the wheel of his car and crashed into me leaving my supra a complete write off, leaving me in a large amount of debt and unable to work full time i managed to save enough to buy a 1uzfe lexus soarer which was alot of fun and a nice drive but still wasnt right for me and given my finacial position wasnt ideal i ended up selling it and leaving cars for some time :(

following that i finally got bitten by the bug and bought my first nissan, i bought a heavyily modified 180sx sitting on around 250kw it was an awesome car and given my love for drifting this was ideal however still being in a shit position with money when this car broke which it did over and over again fixing it rapidly became a problem it ended up sitting in my shed on bricks i eventually did a swap with a guy for his 180 it took my about 4 days to realise this was a stupid decision and pulled the poorly built CA18DET to pieces and gave the shell away.

at this point i tried to be somewhat more responsible and decided to wait untill i was free of debt to buy another car, after months of looking at every different import i could think of i came across a 4 door r32 that was advertised on here the second i saw it i wanted one but given my love for power i didnt think an rb20det would suit me or my driving style and after driving my brothers type m r32 knew i needed more so i kept looking and by chance came across a NEO RB25DET R32 four door i was debt free had money and was sold on it.

the first photo of it is the day i got it in QLD

this second was the typical overcast first day back in canberra

only three days after having my new 4door i managed to hit a wombat /facepalm

while i waited for my new front bar to arrive so i could send it to the shop for painting and fitting i stripped the boot and put in a rear strut bar

the day the front bar showed up my new indicators showed up aswell so i fitted them

a day or 2 after that i got my car back from J Racing who had done a great job of painting and fitting the new front bar

so that was the first 2 weeks with my new skyline finally decided to go for a drive during the day and was having a great time this car gets better everytime i drive it, however after driving i decided to go through the car wash while i was sitting there the car started struggling and moments later stoped :( i was not able to start it again and am currently stumped as to why the fuel pump is working fine no noticeable leaks in anything, i have a feeling it has something to do with the coilpacks but at the moment it tries to kick over but wont kick all the way. i have checked everything that i can think of and still no luck i have had to book my car into ESP but am a bit worried as they wont tune nistune ecu's and i have a feeling after they fix whatever the problem is is will need a re tune, wait and see i guess.

as far as mods go at the moment it has

NEO RB25DET

GTR INTERCOOLER

ALLOY RADIATOR

FULL 3INCH EXHAUST

NISTUNE ECU

CAM GEARS

ELECTRONIC BOOST CONTROLER

WHITELINE SWAY BARS

HSD COIL OVERS

FRONT AND REAR CAMBER ARMS

RB25 GEAR BOX

BOSCH FUEL PUMP

FULL 2-WAY LSD

NEW DRIVE TRAIN

HICAS LOCK BAR

REAR STRUT BAR

17X8 DRIFT TEKS

ALL GAURDS ROLLED

TINTED WINDOWS ALL ROUND

GOAL

i have huge plans for this car first thing is to get it running again then add a few more exterior mods like carbon bonnet and new wheels and rubber will be here on monday i bought a set of 17x9+15 zenkais with stretched 215/40 rubber, after that ill be moving onto power mods hopefully going for atleast 300kw and add more suspension mods along the way

any advice would be appreciated, otherwise stay tuned to watch me spend heaps of money and enjoy all of it hahaha

That's a fairly nice looking car. Don't put a carbon bonnet on it. They're not legal and they are so obvious that you become cop bait. Best avoided.

Read the 300kW thread, etc. But in brief, you're only really going to need a turbo and injectors, and if it doesn't have new coils in it, some Splitfires. And a retune. Oh, and I suppose a Z32 AFM. That should be about it.

    • 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!
