Motor almost complete, Just waiting for oil pump to rock up from the states and where good to go.

Hopefully my new engine loom from chasebays rocks up this week so i can start chipping away at the rest of the wiring this weekend and switches

My brothers project also taking place

This was the lock with the gk tech knuckles, currently no lock stops welded in. Was having lots of troubles going over centre on full lock, since then i have decided to change to PBM front knuckles due to a personal choice and the powersteering rack has been moved forward.

all tacked in

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

New rear dual caliper PBM knuckles, stock brakes all freshened up as well as new bearings

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

Subframe all braced and gusseted, solid bushes throughout and a fresh coat of paint. Has a kaaz 2 way i put in there only about 6 months before i took it off the road

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

1st time everything was bolted all together

I dont know if you've mounted an aftermarket seat in you 33 before but if you have you'll realize what an obscure angle the front of the seat kicks up and how high you are actually sitting, this is why i took the grinder to the factory floor mounts and fab'd up my own so my legs sit in a very comfortable postion

Hey Homies!!

Sorry ive been so lazy over the last year and a bit,

alot of stuff came up and the project got pushed back as usual,

on the + side i done a nice big tour of Europe, got engaged & done another drifitng to Japan.

The car has come along way since last photos last yr and is only approx 10 weeks from being completed.

Over the next couple days ill slowly upload all the New photos.

Thanks Guys!!

Soooo last weekend my friend Luke and I started with the fabrication of the new rear half of the strut towers, we are trying to keep as much of the old tower as possible to keep strong. Once we finish with the rear of the towers we will also be tubbing the front to give space for more lock.

Luke going at it

So this was the first stage of fabrication on the right tower, still needs more bracing throughout and needs a top plate welded on, but you can get an idea where abouts the coilover will be mounted in the back right hand corner.

It will be fitted with brand new driftworks cs2 coilovers all round and awaiting gktech's brand new designed knuckles to arrive with super steering arms attached.

Please keep the comments coming guys.

Good to finally see a build thread James! First time I've seen your fuel setup looks good!

Thanks seb

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

Currently fabbing up the new front strut towers, still have a fair bit to go until finished, but aiming for it to be rego'd.

Yer I ran a s14 front sub frame and made up some engine mounts to suit, not to much f*kin round

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

Decided to rip out the stock fuel setup whilst i was at it and do it right the 1st time around: 60Lt fuel cell, Twin bosch 044 pumps, 750hp carter lift pump, 2.5Lt surge tank, earls fittings, an8 hardline throughout the entire car. Once at engine bay ill be using Teflon braided line for use of e85, twin entry Fuel rail, injector dynamics 1000cc injectors, fuel pressure reg.

Bought a pair of Work equips in 18x11-3 just for thrashers, prefer to drive on genuine wheels (got over imitations) so always got my eyes open on cheap skidders.

[2Jz, 6Spd Getrag, Macpherson Converted R33 Drifter]

Just bought a pair of Velo podium's the other day off SAU, thinking about making up some custom floor mounts out of RHS to get the seat lower to the floor, i always just find the r33 seating position to high and my head is too close to the roof with my helmet on.

Also have a Nardi 350mm suede wheel with a works bell boss kit & works bell quick release kit, bit tight to get out other wise.

Also have some Brand new wilwood 6 spot front with a 333mm rotor, got these in a group buy on SAU over a yr ago, still need to purchase some rears
