What about NISMO injectors? They're junk Sard garden hoses with a Nismo sticker.

Their suspension arms. Cost a bomb (or as much as Ikeya stuff) yet you don't have anywhere near the adjustment. Painted silver but!!

The list could go on forever.

They do make some decent gear like the rear diffs, clutches and are actually reasonably priced. Most of it is just "warmed up" and hardly worth the money.

But you have a NISMO clutch in your car?

Just like most of us did/do...

At least they got one thing right

Last paragraph mate.

Not saying it's all junk. The diffs and clutches are fantastic. Absolutely no question there. That clutch is THE clutch to have one a street GTR.

Lots of Nismo hate... And I've bought two Nismo items in the past 4 days [emoji15]

One of those items was a fuel pump... I can't bag the price of Nismo too much - the identical Tomei fuel pump was double the money of the Nismo!

I installed a Nismo thermostat in my R33. Was great, car never got the chance to get out of cold tune! And it only cost $120!

So glad I didn't spend $40 on an OEM thermostat that would hold a collant temp over 60 deg C, fuel economy is for chumps!

Walbro would be half the cost and flow even more and be e85 compatible.

Won't be a direct fit i suppose though

a hose clamp and 2x wire crimps aren't exactly brain surgery lol

Maybe not, but I've read mixed reviews on Walbro pumps, where as I've heard no negative comments about the Nismo pumps. It also includes everything for a painless swap, including the large o'ring that seals the fuel pump opening. The flow of the Nismo pump is a good match for the rest of my gear (injectors, turbo etc) so the higher flow rate of the Walbro would be a waste.

Hard pipes usually do the exact opposite - in that - they make shuffle far more pronounced/problematic. Particularly when running larger twins, stock turbos not a problem but upgrade to -5s or 2530s and you're in for a tuning headache.

So no, they are certainly not a good upgrade IMO. Plenty on this forum have even REMOVED the hard piped and gone back to stock ones for that very reason, plenty of posts about it. So definitely something that article fails to touch upon but then he's still running stock turbos... They should be the first thing you change, not everything else first.

Just curious, why do the group A R32 Gtr such as the Calsonic and Gibson motorsports have the hard pipes then? I thought the hard pipes gave less flex compared to stock rubber and had better merger Y pipe before going into intercooler?

    • 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!
