Hey guys
Thought It was finally time to create a build thread for my R33 gtst as its coming along nicely and not to far off getting it out on the track for the sau championships. Hopefully for round 2 29th March.
I brought the car back in July 2014 as a unregersted stocker for $4000 with the intention on just entering a few track days here and there but that quickly has changed and now the aim is to build it up for the WTAC to compete in the open class.
Since then I've been buying parts for it most weeks and slowly getting it closer to how I want it.
First was a set of BC ER coilovers 9kg front and 7kg rear.
Also went in were whiteline front and rear sway bars.
Next was a set of R33 GTR wheel which I brought off another sau member.
Which I decided to bring them back to life and painted them black.
Also brought some semi slicks to wrap them in. Brought some nitto nt01.
Over the next few weeks I brought a few more go fast bits. Bpp Billet fuel rail, splitfire coilpacks, apexi power fc with hand controller, tomei fuel pressure regulator, walbro 450ltr fuel pump, Bosch 1000cc injectors, bride low max seats and a pair of D2 330mm 8pot brakes with race pads.
Next the car was sent off to mcqueen motorsport for a full cage. Had a few hiccups there but eventually got the work done after a few months sitting at the shop. Decided on full weld in 6 point cage($2500). Also had to removed the sunroof to give me a little bit more headroom. Now left with a gapping hole in my roof which should be getting fixed in the coming weeks.
Got it home and the gave it a few Coates of matte black paint.
Got to spend some time on the car over my holidays and installed the D2 brakes.
Removed all the sound deadening and gave the interior a fresh coat o gloss white paint to clean the inside up a bit.
