Got good MPH there. Get it out of the hole and thats an easy 10
yeah, the goal is to put some softer springs in the back and turn up the launch rpm and boost in first and second to see if the track will hold.
i want a 1.8ish 60ft on the MT's lol

Yeah its purdy. Bloody New Zealanders know how to make shit (as do plenty of Aussies).

Still heaps of stuff going on out there, just a lot of people who do the investigation and development themselves no longer or at least rarely post on forums. I can't speak for everyone, but I lost a lot of interest in sharing things in here as it reached a point where the main people interested in responding were the ones who were more interested in talking shxt than actually helping people learn and get better results and tech discussions consistently went downhill - so whether or not I have anything of value to share, it didn't seem like there was much point bringing it here.
One of the builds I have been involved with had an update recently, more modest than the big dollar builds but definitely fitting what you describe in your post. This car is fully developed by the owner ( @Looney_Head ) with only help from his mates, no throwing big cash at the top brands or workshops to get things done. Just lots of yarns, rums, headscratching and knuckle tearing in his garage. There are plenty more of these around NZ, even in our group of friends and I am sure there is plenty of it going on in Oz too.... just maybe largely off the radar.thanks for the plug Lith
yeah i still have mine and update the build thread, its slow going but i'm slowly getting there. still umming and ahhing about ethrottle on it with non-driven wheel speed. it would be nice to get kicked out of the drags for running a 10 in a rwd car lol.
Shoota, keep plugging away mate, your thread is a hoot to read.

if nothing else it looks very cool out of the engine bay. i am sure you will take a few steps forward soon

500 killer wasps is where the fun begins!
Awesome stuff, it must be insanely fun (scary) with that much power in a RWD car!
lol tbf 450kw with the rb30 torque is more then enough in a RWD street car... I only run 20psi in forth and fifth gear due to traction and gearbox strength lol

Cheers mate. Slowly getting there.
Very good point regarding the studs. I'd love to think once it's on it'll stay on but we all know that aint the truth!
yeah i thought that too.... RB life i guess.

A small update on mine.
I have changed from a borg warner s360sx to a s362sxe using the same exhaust housing and everything else the same.
Due to fuel pressure issues we only did one run over 20psi which is below. This is on very soft timing and once fuel issues are sorted it will do over 500kws
another small update, still on 20psi due to running out of fuel pump. we fixed the pressure issue. but now have run out of pump.

wow so many updates of late. threw the car back on the dyno to see how much we could make after sorting the pump power supply issues.
turns out the demands of E90 was too much for pump to supply so now i am legitimately our of fuel pump. but did manage to get some more timing into the 20PSI tune. a huge thanks to Lithium for his tuning skills.

that sucks about the milkshake
the 8HP sounds exciting.

looking good, those wheels look hot.
one thing about the studs on the intake, i am not sure if R33's are like R32's but when i had studs on my intake (RB25 Greddy intake) i hit the clutch master when trying to take it off.
-
nice, what make was your old gearset? was it JT that your got the PPG through?

Awesome to see someone actually get their Skyline out and enjoy it! Looks like she was quite the handful on the wet track, quite the butt puckering experience!
cheers mate.
that was a dry non prepped track lol and yes a few bites at the seat. forth gear got scary lol

its been a year since i updated.
a few things have changed on the car, i managed to get a carbonglass bonnet for the car which was painted black.
after last drags i decided to swap from a 4.363:1 diff to a 3.9:1, that didn't work out due to the 3.9 I had having the wrong bolt spacing on the ring gear. So ended up putting 4.08:1 gears in the diff. This gave a nice increase in gearing but has removed some of the punchiness down low.
After waiting all winter for the drag strip to open covid stopped the first event.
but a mate hired the track for a private 1/8th mile day. the only draw back was the track wasn't preped, and was slippery then a street. this resulted in my car trying to kill me and lighting the tyres at any speed upto and including 200kph, but i managed to get second in our group in the roll racing we did. so won a beer
wellington weather stopped the second event, so this weekend there was finally a break in the weather and there was one day of racing.
first run out i bettered my 11.99@124 with a 11.91@131 my next two runs were 12.69@130 (left the car in second after the warm up skid and tried launching in second at 3200rpm... oops) the other was a 12.53@123 after mis-shifting third.
then went into elimination and missed third again, 12.49@127 that time. my final run of the day and last round before the weather set in i put an 11.9 as my dial in time against a 13.0 for a old firebird.
this time i managed to get third cleanly, but got treed by 0.3 seconds. turns out that didn't matter as i broke out and ran my best time ever.
a 11.846@130mph
there is over 50kph difference in trap speed which was fun to experiance.
so now i have to wait till next year for another shot at the drags, next time i will look to turn up first and second gear as well as the launch and see if i can't improve the 1/8th mile time.
over all extremely happy with how the car went, multiple 130mph passes was fun

Looking good. its a nice feeling to have the head on and looking like an engine again
-
great you found the oil leak, i have a similar oil leak that i am putting off looking into for fear its a massive job, but i might check if the R33 RB25 VCT has the same seal

could get one of these Skyline R32 RB25DET Swap Wiring Harness | Wiring Specialties
i would recommend Geoff from NZ Wiring, but he isn't in Auckland sorry.

does PRP not give instructions on what needs to be modified on the baffles to fit?
and yep one step at a time, then before you know it GTR noises

Probably boring content sorry but to me it's exciting! 🤣
Block/sump brace in and bolted up. Oil pump and rear main plate on. She's starting to look like an engine again!
Ignore the zinc bolts on the girdle, they're just there temporarily to hold some tension around the front and rear (where the sump bolts normally pass through the girdle and bolt direct to the block/oil pump/rear plate) while the sealant dries.
awesome progress mate. that girdle looks impressive bolted on

are you using the factory ABS sensor locations for your wheel speed sensors? i'm trying to work out how to get non-driven wheel speed on my R32 which has no ABS previsions

sucks about the covid, but man those parts are nice. would you be comfortable sharing what the swap ends up costing you? i have been dreaming of DSG/latest auto goodness
