Hey Guys, Just found this on another forum thought I'd throw it up here incase anyone else was looking for it. I'm keen as mustard for the Practice day in Feb, hopefully my R33 will be good to go by then. http://www.spgarage.com.au/images/dt2011.jpg (clicky)

Yes I did for about 5 mins. But then I thought it'd be better to leave it at it's stock capacity in case I ever wanted to do rally. If anyone wants an RB30 bottom end I've got a spare whole engine (series 2) with a broken head. Make an offer, Dad wants it gone out of his shed.

When could I expect a GT3076 to spool? I'm in the market for a turbo for a similar application as OP.

Hey Wog Boy, I'm just going off what it says on the rego, so if you think it's a 95 then it might just be, I'll check it out when I get home later. @ Wubzy, I'll post heaps more pics later as a "Before" shot before it goes to stay at GT for a while. @ Toffy, Yes I'd be interested in what you have to say about suspension. For all those interested in the more detailed shopping list: Nissan Gasket Kit Nissan N1 Water Pump Nissan N1 Oil Pump (wtih Nitto crank collar to suit) Nissan Timing belt New Thermostat (low Temp) Nitto 1.2mm Head Gasket ACL Race Bearings (Mains and Big end) Nitto Forged Pistons Nitto Forged H-beam Con Rods Machining - Head, Port and Polish New Valve Guides Machining Engine Block Linish Crankshaft Bore and Hone 740cc Nismo Injectors Haltec Plug In Pro ECU Turbo TBC Cams TBC I've been doing some lurking on SAU and I'm thinking a 3076R Turbo might be the way to go. Thoughts? I haven't done any research on Cams yet so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Hey Guys, I'm new about these parts but I just bought myself a 1996 Skyline, (originally it was a GTS that was turboed by the previous owner). The main reason for buying a skyline was to get into drifting, I know a R33 isn't the best car for this application but it was amazingly cheap and my house mate has a R33 too. So I thought it would be fun to have the same car and we could share notes and parts. Car was $3500 from a bloke off these forums and it was $870 to get it to Hobart from Sydney. Receiving the car from the depot, I think the taxi driver was more excited than I was, a young bloke like me that likes his Skylines, but I hopped in the car and fired it up, it made the unmistakable sound of a ruined engine so I immediately drove it to GT Garage in Monah to get a proper diagnosis. On the drive over it became apparent that the Turbo was also on the way out. Having ruined a perfectly good VL previously in a fail attempt to modify it I decided I would remove my self from this project as much as I could entrusting my self only to remove the interior and install new seats. Nick over at GT Garage was very helpful and said he could get the car doing what I want for what I thought was a very reasonable fee. Rebuilding the engine and putting all the usual suspects in there, Forged slugs and rods, lumpy cams, port polished, ACL Racing bearings, nismo injectors, new upgraded water and oil pumps, Motec ECU, coilovers and all that jazz. Current status of the project is, I've got the car and I've paid for and ordered the parts. So that's my story, I'm sure it's similar to the stories of some of you and I look forward to reading them all on here and hopefully I'll bump into some of you along the way in my quest to become Not Tasmania's worst Drifter. Here is a pic with my WRX Lurking in the back ground.

I might have a Series 2 driver and passenger seat soon if that's something you might be interested in?

Why do you only have pairs of wheels?

G'day Mate, I'm pretty keen on this, I would send you a PM but I can't until my post count is over 10. Can you send me a PM with your contact details and I'll give you a call. Cheers
