Yeah cant say I'm a fan. looks budget drifter. IMO with all skylines, less is more (most of the time). I think a stock rear bar with type M skirts and a GTR Style bar looks really neat on a 32. And the carbon rear Diffusers can look really good also, especially with a big wing. stick a Delta style (z-tune style) bonnet on it (fibreglass versions are quite cheap) and it would look a bit neater and a bit more circuit spec!

well.. im not gonna gonna use the side skirts of the new kit or rear bar as yes, it makes it look spastic spec lol.

gtr front bar... eventually.. id only have it for eventual targa regs as with skirts and rear bar.

not a whole fan of the gtr look on a gtst as i mentioned before :blink:

bonnet i want is an AB style front bar. ( the one with 3 vents in the middle)

Front end repainted and refitted finally, car drives now, lots of little things to sort but 90% big stuff done. Mechanically just need to fit cooler and tune.

Anyone got a stock R33 GTS-T cooler? I need the pipes off the back of one so I can fit my 34 GT-T cooler up.

GTR is currently in the garage undergoing some minor upgrades.

Turbos coming off to be replaced with a pair of new GT2860R -5's with some Tomei Expreme Dumps.

ViPec ECU is in and was running well until I decided it was time for the turbos to go.

New Castor arms up front, camber and traction arms in the rear. Camber arms for the front are currently being fabricated.

While I am doing this figured I may as well throw in a new Gates timing belt kit along with an N1 Water Pump. (Yes it does see a lot of track work so its worth the extra)

So, looking forward to the Highclere Hillclimb on Feb 13th. Should be a good shakedown for it all.

Be good to see you back up here. Heard from Jamie the other day who let me know he cant make it now... Pity, but at least I get a free shot at beatin his time now. lol (like thats ever gonna happen)

engines in and running. fresh engine started first turn of the key. it did however run on 5 later found to be a faulty spark plug.

the throttles and a few tweaks to the head have made it use a different part of the map on the power fc so its off to the rollers for a base tune then run-in and back on the rollers for a power run. im very keen to see the difference. i havent changed to many things but hopefully just the right things.

what hill climb are you going to in Feb Funz and what date?

heading up to highclere again on feb 13th ish... just waiting for apps to be put on the site :-s

update for me: plan to cage the car soon and hopefully new pair of seats for it :-) so thats stage 1 of prepping car for targa :-P lots of stages to go lol

well, car has got some stuff done to it over last few days ;) new rear traction rods, rear tie rods, hicas bar in, adjustable castor rods and rear upper adjustable arms :-)

getting some fiddly things fixed up as well, and hopefully fine tune is done too :-)

just gotta organise things for when rollcage gets put in and hopefully can arrange a respray while car is stripped and windows are out :-) *cough* jack :-P

I just put similar stuff in mine.

Who's setting up your suspension now?

I just did a wheel alignment on mine after putting all new adjustable stuff in there and what a difference its made. Its actually drives out of corners now instead of wheel-spinning, which has the horrible effect of making it feel like its lost a heap of power.

Cant wait to get down south and get it tuned now. Its running that rich at the moment that the brand new plugs lasted ll of 80 klm before they fouled... :-(

well at this stage gonna get Bridgestone select to align it and adjust camber and stuff, then going to get goodyear prob with their new cool alignment rig to properly align it :-)

car will be getting light load tune as well and high rpm adjustment as still running a little rich !

Oh, just a little shop in Moonah. ;)

Heard nothin but good reports from people who have had their cars tuned there.

Only issue is he has to learn the software for my ECU, but he downloading it and sorting that so he has a feel for it before I get there.

I even emailed him a copy of the tune currently in it so he has a good starting point.

I heard of a 33 GTR that was tuned there last week, same turbos as mine, put out 460rwkw atw on 24psi.

There is another 33 GTR getting round Hobart as well apparently that put out 440rwkw, think hat was tuned at the same place also.

Thats enough to convince me... ;)

    • 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!
