This is Torque & AFR from the standard tune with pod filter and exhaust

And this is where we finished up on 10psi boost, the difference is amazing it pulls much harder now.

Silver mate,

The last few months iv just been taking the car out for a few late night missions and drives out in the country.

For not having a wheel alignment the thing drove pretty damn well, but I have recently fitted some Partshop max solid rear subframe bushes and got it a decent wheel alignment

The gearbox is in desperate need of some new bearings.

Im planning on taking it to powercruise at Taupo motosport park in November, so im borrowing a gearbox of a mate and spending the next montho or so getting the car 100% ready for the track.

Helped assembly a friends RB27dett on the weekend.

Alrite its been a while.... a long while... so ill try make this atleast a half decent post.

So far the R32 has survived another event so ill share that with everyone, a totally awesome day out drifting with the Zokusha Worx crew

Well the morning didn't start so great, just driving the car to line up the engine didn't feel or sound right.

Out on the track it was cutting out, feeling underpowerd and pretty much just driving me crazy.

I spent most of the morning trying to fix it tighting up everything checking every sensor and connection, in the end it seems it was the main ECU connector that needed a slight tweak and by about 11:30 it was all go and I could start getting some decent drifting in.

The track was Taupo Track 3 the back section of Taupo Motorsport park.

So since trackday i have purchased and fitted some 750cc injectors removing the standard items, i have also opend up the wastegate ports inside the exhaust manifold to fix the boost creep problem, the goal is 300kw (402hp)

A few things out of shape after trackday..

Removed the exhaust manifold & gave it to a mate to open up the w/g ports

Also an update on the old mans R34, i spent a bit of time making a new trubo setup for this and it all worked out pretty well.

started off with 1 new exhaust manifold from Sinco Customs

And with Mike from Diesel & turbocharger services tuning the nistune ecu we stopped at 14psi with it droping off to 11psi until I sorted the boost issue, now with a flatish 14~15psi we have 260kw at the wheels with the Revs shooting up from 3500rpm.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
