Haven't posted in a while. Just haven't had motivation to work on any of my cars for some reason. nitrous looks like a no go sadly. Just can't seem to find a supplier of it down south in nz sadly. Was really looking forward to ruining it Looking at either meth or LPG injection as a added boost now. still waiting on the engineer to finish gate adaptors haha. I didget the R32 GTR nismo 3" exhaustin the other day. Just need to ship the car down to the workshop to get front half of exhaust done

Definaly some one worth keeping on the Xmas card list! so update for any one who cares or needs something to read while on the throne. gearbox is in. Not happy with final resting place of drive shaft impregnation tho. Only about a inch, and I'm curious if the TD bell housing fits on a RB gearbox? Might fix my gear ratios? drivers side engine mount isn't tall enough. Gearbox is flat, and pulling drivers side of motor off the mount by about 10-15mm going to need bigger mounts. (This will also fix next problem.) sump. F*** A C***...... I can't read a ruler.sump hits the drivers side of steering rack. Bigger engine mount will fix this issue. steering UJ at lower of steering Colom. Hits starter motor...... worry about that later just for a giggle. wiring. There's stuff every we're lol. Not a single bad as building a new RB loom. But just a little. pipes. The fella that did my braided power steering lines obviously didn't try to connect the hose for res to pump low pressure. The pipe is like 1/16th to small. And has no stretch. Yay. clutch. I see a major issue here, when, and not if, I mean when this exceedy HD 4x4 clutch explodes. The engine cross member has to be unbolted and dropped 4-6" to allow the gearbox to come of force due to firewall distances. Not happy. But nothing I can do. Thats about it lol. I am getting closer to doing a little wright up on how to do this conversion lol. Not many photos from today, didn't want to feel lazy on my iPad all day. so instead here is a few snaps of the parts truck getting removed from my property lol.

Just got a call from a distant mate. He bought a dyno. Guess who's doesn't have to pay to do pulls now

Ooooooooooo guess what ladies.

I did a thing. And I'm blaming you single handedly.

I am still seriously debating putting turbo in normal place or in front of the motor

Any one here watch house of muscle ? go watch episode ten on YouTbe..... yummy.... so off came the sump that's the poor engineers problem now. Motor sitts so low in the engine bay I fear lowering I think as the sump is close to the ground. Future issues. Blahhhhh how ever. Everything is just held in with rope to get a idea In my head. But what do y'all think of this?

BAHAHAHAHAHA I just lost my toys reading that ! The whole doing on pape bit is the part that make sure me giggle the most. (Not sure if you have see no my other post about a RB in a 4x4 D21 Navara but I feel you need to finding it ) gear ratio: I don't know. Is the simple answer. I have the factory RB20de Manual diff in there. I don't even know I feel that will handle the torque increase. Navara td box has very similar ratio to the 4x4 one. So with 600+ NM we're expecting a very quick 0-100 time. After that she won't have the revs to go past 130 ( I imagine.) got another gearbox to regear with 20det internals tho so it will be a wing and a miss. PROGRESS!!!! new ( cough cough 400km) motor got dropped in. Annnnnnd turbo is too big ( wish some one would say that to me some nights ) off to the engineers my manifold goes. 2 options turbo mounted in front of the motor with 2" custom manifold feeding it. OR very high top mount. Issue there is i loose my strut brace and that's is a no no. fiber glass 25mm guards on the way. fiber glass GTR front bumper on the way. oil relocation kit on the way. nitrous 6 week away.

I broke my truck again FFS. All three spare altinators failed within 12 hours ;( on a side note how sick is this, got a call from the land of drop bears. NOS is 8 weeks ago as they ran out of stock ;(. but.

So I hit a snag. Shit came up had to put this build on hold blah blah blah...... just got back from a 600km venture to pick up ANOTHER TD27T 4000k on it. In the mail from Auckland is a A/R .50 with a AR.63 compressor. T3t4, external 38mm gate, AND WAIT FOR IT. coming from some were in the land of OI the dingo ate my baby, is a 10lb nitrous kit and all the shit to hook it up

Iv always had ideas about putting a RS motor into a 32 coupe. Reckon it would be pre out of it.

I have always loved those busses!

I love this's hit haha im not sure if you were pulling the piss... but. Factory kingswood rotor Mazda roadpacer. Lets put a 13b into a bus?

I hate the run of the mill builds haha iv done this one before but want to do I think a lot better this time around. And the 33 has been in my garage for like 6 weeks and I haven't even driven it lol

Some one ask me what a RB20e looks like in a WD21 So. As some people have been following I started my "some one ask me what a TD27T looks like in a r32" Post now to take a step back and go full retard. two years ago I built a R33 on a D21 solid beam rear chassis. With a 20e. It went nuts. This time. Something different. a WD21 terrano. Manual. 20ET with the body cut down to a ute. the aim is to finish by February 2018 and take it to the big river run in ashburton NZ. so my question is. What turbo do I use!? Heres a snap of my old one.

Do i take the front lower control arms off my 33 and put them on the 32 ? What's the advantages?

Yeah boi! slow going this week..... the mother ship (gold rano) decided to blow her 1st 2nd 5th and reverse as well as rear diff.... what a fun ordeal.... blew the motor in the parts truck.... she didn't like swimming..... turbo is now on skyline motor..... power slteering is done. Braided lines all round baby and short as shit. 600mm if any one is wondering. For all three lines. With res moved to left side of brake booster. desil hand pump and filter moved to down beside battery spot. Nice short lines on that too.... might go see a engine builder in the next few weeks and see if they want to do something stupid with the blowen motor.... if it's fixable lol. turbo fins on compressor side of skyline are absolutely rooted... but no play... so free boosting till the turbo blows it is haha

So oil pressure....... i obviously want want the factory gauge on my dash to work. Will try and see if a RB20de oil pressure sender fits in the td block tonight that would make the most sense then the guage would be calabraited for that's sensor assuming the TD runs pressure inside the ranges that the RB sender can guage, and the wiring is already there from the R32 chassis loom... there was another thing, oh RPM. Apparently on the front of the desil pump is a crank angle sensor for this....... I am unsure..... power steering will be back in a week after the doctor cuts everything to bits and makes everything out of braided... should look quite sexy Desil lines to be moved. Hand pump and filter to be relocated to drivers side of engine bay removing over 3m of solid lines. Contemplating putting this in the boot but unsure on operation at this distance. Need to check.

Haha I like this comment ! i ask you this one question. You ever seen a Deseil 32 ? Haha

Un-rangi the throttle. Nissan terrano TD27T auto throttle cable. firewall backing plate needed some massaging to make it fit the r32 chassis. Little bit longer than what was needed. how ever one full throw on the throttle pedal moved the Dessie pump throttle from idle to wide open perfectly! Side note.... if I had a thermostat in my garage it would currently be sitting on F**king cold!

Yeah nah good. sorry guys been slow lately.... my rano blew a gearbox so bought another spare truck haha. drove the 32 round the block with no turbo... ran like a sack... but SHE DROVE!!!!! im now onto the long list of small shit..... will post updates with specific how I go at around issues as I come across them. So far we have. Desil pump Desil lines Turbo manifold Turbo lines Turbo Altinator Altinator brake booster Hot pipe Water pump Heater pipes Power steering pump Power steering lines - res to rack - pump to rack Radiator - brackets and pipes. Bonnet support damage Bonnet hinges Battery - battery clamps - second battery in boot Un-rangi the throttle Thermostat Glow plug loom Speedo Tacho Water temp Oil temp Passenger mirror Dash Front seats Door cards Rear seats Carpet Cabin / boot flame plate Centre console Sills Drive shaft Drive shaft hoops Fuel tank cradle Cradle seal Fuel line hose clamps Rear and front plate lights Exhaust Radiator over flow Gearbox tunnel and last of as is desil pump solenoid and boost cutoff.

Turns out the 24v starter motor doesn't like being run on 12v who would have guessed. Well that's one problem out of they way

Well! she moved under her own starter motor power yesterday! by the looks of things I need the auto front driveshaft with a manual spline to get length correct. I'm about a inch off.

f**k yes...... Mate a hammer is the on,y thing that can fix stupidity.

I forgot to to say why I came back on... motor all bolted down clutch is on. Waiting on top mount turbo manifold and intercooler to turn up.... gearbox going in tomorrow. power steer lines have to be cut. power steer pump relocation to divers side to suit TD mounts. Lines a lot shorter. Fluid tank moved to battery location. 4x4 sumo clears the rack... needed some encouragement with a 20oz hammer tho. Starter mould on bell housing extremely close to fire wall... 20oz hammer. Problem solved.
