  1. I've had this R33 for a little over 1 year, slowly gathering parts and building the engine during that time. During the last couple months I've had some spare time and all the parts ready to go. So it's finally, slowly, coming together. I picked it up in Darwin for 2.5k, and while pretty rough, was a standard manual S1 GTS-T. It came with alot of spares that I've since sold off to fund useful parts. The parts list for it; Haltech plugin pro ECU RB30DET, Spool rods, CP pistpons (20thou oversize), Raw Brokerage oil pump drive, Spool billet oil pump gears, Tomei springs and poncams (R33 25 head). Spool high volume oil sump MetalJacket Balancer GTX35 from Proboost 6Boost manifold, 48mm gate 3.5" cat back exhaust RIPS intake plenum 350Z 6 Speed transmission (CD009). Adapter plate, flywheel and clutch to suit from MA-Motorsports Z Speed Performance concentric slave 350Z Yolk installed onto tailshaft and tailshaft lengthened - waiting for next pay R33 GTR Diff once the standard one dies gktech drop knuckles when a GTR diff goes in Turbosmart FPR 1200 -8AN fuel feed line, -6AN return LS2 coils - coming soon Velo bucket seat + harness Greddy oil relocation thermostat + oil cooler PWR Intercooler Project Mu handbrake shoes Coolant header tank next to brake booster Power Steering cooler and belt Idler gktech front lock knuckles D2 coilovers Still thinking about the majority of the fuel setup. Trimming the fat a bit to recap progress in pics. So going back about a year or so, I started building the 2530. Brass plug removed for VCT mod Internal VCT mod. 2mm down the guts and 1.5mm out the side Oil gallery welded shut New stem seals, valves, Tomei valve springs, lifters and Tomei Poncams Block machined 20thou oversize and a 5mm deep cutout, 15mm in, to clear the exhaust flange No better workshop than your own room All the gear from MA-Motorsports for the 350Z gearbox conversion Bellhousing machined as required for the conversion Adapter plate bolted down And the RB25 automatic bellhousing bolted down With the Z Speed Performance concentric slave installed. Had to drill a few holes for the clutch lines Test fit for clearence, tailshaft measuring and crossmember modding Mounting point is slightly out. The crossmember has already been modded and fits a treat. The shifting position is out by 240mm. gktech should have something to address this soon, hopefully. My return to system from the header tank My effort to save some cash. My $50 beats Ross balancers $330. Power steering belt idler using a subaru timing belt idler, GMB part #JBT658B Engine bay at the moment. The good manifolds will go on once I know the engine doesn't need to come out again. Box out for some minimal tunnel massaging and general tinkering. The 350Z box is actually shorter than all of these. As the old girl sits now.
  2. Its been a while since I was last on here...not a lot has changed haha The time has come where I cannot justify (economically) running my skyline. $1000 a year in rego and a tad less in insurance (full comp) burns a hole in my pocket when realistically I do not drive it often enough to enjoy it. This is not a decision which I have taken lightly (it was my first car back in 2004) and I will in no way get back the money I have put into it (probably $20,000 over the 11 years of ownership). Anyway - I'm after some advice of what I should be asking. Rough specs/mods as follows: 1993 R32 GTST M-Spec Owned since 2004 @ 128,000km....Current km ~175,000km ENGINE RB25/30DET (R32 RB25DE head, RB30E series 2 block) CP 9:1 Forged Pistons Spool 4340 H Beam Rods ARP rod fasteners ACL Race Series main bearings ACL Race Series big end bearings ARP head bolts Cometic MLS head gasket refer to - http://www.spoolimports.com/spool-engine-rebuild-kits/nissan/rb30det-rebuild-kit/holden-nissan-rb30det-dohc-rebuild-kit-with-cp-forged-pistons-9-0-1 This motor probably only has about 7000km on it from when it was built in 2011. Garrett GT3076R 0.82 A/R Turbo 3 inch metal intake pipe to turbo Trust VSPL FMIC Blitz DSBC Dual Stage boost controller (Low boost ~15 PSI, High Boost ~19-20 PSI) Q45 AFM Bosch 550cc Injectors NisTune R32 RB20DET computer with map to suit above setup on BP98 Bosch 040 fuel pump Nismo adjustable fuel regulator 3" Turbo back exhaust (Bell mouth style dump to suit GT30 to Catalytic converter to resonator, to JUNBL rear muffler) I have a 3" "big" magna flow middle muffler that I was intending to fit which I would throw in to replace the resonator Power - makes 281 RWKW on Jaustech's dyno (can attach dyno plot)...240 of those RWKW available from about 4000RPM. Could crack the 300 RWKW with bigger injectors and a Z32AFM. DRIVELINE RB25GTST G/box (std internals) Nismo engine mounts Nismo gearbox mounts Jim Berry "race" clutch (reasonably light on the foot, but does bite hard) OEM flywheel Modified RB20 GTST tail shaft (w/ RB25 yoke) to suit gearbox and diff STD OEM V-LSD diff (I have an R34 RB25 Neo torsen differential at home which is easy to fit up...just needs backlash to be setup) STD OEM driveline otherwise (more than adequate for the power output) SUSPENSION Full Sydneykid Bilstein/Whiteline setup (http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/): Bilstein B4 "c" clip height adjustable shocks valved to suit suspension setup Whiteline "lowered" (25mm lower than stock) springs Whiteline front and rear fixed anti roll bars Whiteline front upper camber arms (adjustable) Whiteline front adjustable castor bushes Whiteline rear camber arms (outer IIRC) Volk Racing GT-P's (old school) 8" fronts, 9" rears IIRC (they came with the car back in 2004) Bridgeston Adrenaline RE001 235/45/17 fronts and rears IIRC Not fitted but will chuck in - Whiteline HICAS elimination kit Whiteline subframe replacement bushes (NOT PINEAPPLES) Superpro diff bushes Superpro steering rack bushes few other odds and ends which I have accumulated over the years BODY Genuine R32GTR front bar (will throw in the OEM mesh that goes over the intercooler) R32 GTR rear wing R32 GTR rear boot Will throw in: GTR style fibreglass side skirts (in primer) R32 GTST boot/wing Issues - one of the rear quarters has a sizeable dent in it about the size of a football and about as deep as a book (thickness). I have been quoted about $600 to fix it and paint. The boot also has a small dent in it also. IIRC I was quoted about $1000 (maybe a touch more) to fit the side skirts, fix the dents and paint. Will post photos when I get a chance. MISC R32 GTR centre console tripple gauges (not connected) Alpine head unit GReddy turbo time (not connected) Viper (unknown model) immobiliser Not fitted but will throw in: Focal 6.5" front splitters (cost me $500 at the time and never fitted) Alpine 4 channel amp wiring kit to suit the above Viper immobiliser (remote start capable, few other features) There's probably a few other things I've missed out but that will do for now... I will post pictures when I get a chance! TL;DR - give me a rough price that I should sell the above for. Cheers!
  3. This has been a build that started almost 2 years ago due to lack of time and $$. This is going to be heavy on the pics and light on the words as im not big on words.. It all began when i was looking for a car and came across this A31 in below average condition but well priced. From memory i paid $2400 for it with 5 months wof left & 6 months rego so just decided to drive it untill it ran out. The plan being in that time i would find a better shell and swap all the gear over. That proved harder than i thought it took almost a year to find what i wanted . This is where it began. RB20DET, Manual, Lsd etc etc By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 By jdmyo at 2011-12-27 This is the replacement.

  4. This is the story of my R32 GTS25. Time to try and keep track of everything that has been done to the car as it is getting way out of hand! It started off in the hands of Scott (previous owner) as a standard R32 GTS25 with an RB25DE from factory. He added a few mods, mainly suspension, 5 stud conversion, wheels, GTR Kit, half cage plus much more. Then I bought it, added new control arms and new wheels but stayed more or less the same car for a couple of years. After a few stacks id ruined the front bar, new wheels and control arms. Which meant buying them all again. Keeping any real progress on the car at a stand still. Came to a point with the car that I really wanted to start making more power although wasn't sure on an engine swap as the factory rb25 is so rare and a I didnt want to put it on the same playing field as any old GTST. Eventually decided to keep the RB25DE Head and add an RB30 Block. Essentially it would still appear to be the same motor under the hood. But it didnt take long for me to start dreaming about turbos and then the plan changed involving a low mount turbo set up keeping it relatively inconspicuous. Going from the naturally aspirated motor to a turbo motor involved a lot more than adding a turbo, it is surprising how different a GTST is to a GTS25. So if I was to go this far, why stop there? I decided I needed a donor car and that way I could swap over front and rear cross members as well in case of any damage to mine and I would have all the necessary parts to convert to turbo. Then the challenge was to find a clean R32 GTST without breaking the bank. Not long after, I quit my full time job and took what was to be at first, a short unpaid break. Luckily around the same time I found a GTST with low km's and was clean and straight, so I sold my bike and bought the second 32. The new 32 had recently had an RB30DET conversion although it had thrown a rod and wasn't running. It did have plenty of parts that I could steal though including a Garret GT35, HKS manifold, Cams and much more. So I pulled the whole thing apart. Gave this block to my engine builder and he worked out that the cylinders had been over bored which lead to fuel leaking into the crank case and onto bearings, and eventually killed the bearings and ruined a few rods in the process. So I bought a standard series II RB30 block and gave it to him to start from scratch. New over sized bore and hone Decked block Crank Grind and Crank Colla fitted Modified Crank Oil Ways ACL Race Bearings 40. Thou Oversized Forged Pistons While the new block was in the shop, I pulled the GTS25 apart. From here I proceeded to make things worse by removing the interior, loom, ecu, steering rack, front crossmember, rear crossmember and all suspension. Slowly the GTS25 started to go back together using the best parts from both cars and more. Tein Coilovers R33 Control Arms Adjustable Camber Arms Adjustable Upper Control Arms Adjustable Castor Arms Nismo 2 way LSD Plus a whole lot more Next the New block had to be prepped to go in. I went to Nissan and ordered genuine gaskets for everything. They are a rip off, probably because its not every day someone wants genuine RB30 gaskets but at least I have the peace of mind now. Mate at Mercedes cleaned up an N1 GTR Oil pump, rear main, water pump for me. Drilled and tapped tensioner studs in the block then it was all assembled. The fresh engine was attached to an RB25DET gearbox with a button clutch and short shift kit and ready to drop into the car. Before it went in though I cut holes for cooler piping and intake while I had the space. Engine and transmission in. Now waiting for Head Gasket and Head Studs to arrive so fitted up oil cooler, intercooler and power steering coolers. A ton of metal had to be grinded out of the reo to fit but it all bolted up nicely in the end. New Cometic Metal Head Gasket and ARP Head Studs arrived and the head could finally go on. RB25DE Head is ported and polished with new cams and cam gears. Cam gears on and set at zero. Both manifolds were port matched and now ready to bolt on. HKS low mount exhaust manifold needed some modification to bolt up as the taller RB30 block stood in the way. Cooler piping to go on, 50mm HKS wastegate, Greddy boost controller, vacuum lines. An RB26DETT Apexi Power FC was installed along with a Greddy Profec B Spec II boost controller. Then the arduous task of installing the new loom which was much bigger than the standard loom! Port matched intake on, 800cc injectors in and start playing connect the hose. Few more goodies to go in, 25% under driven harmonic balancer, Alloy Radiator, Bosch 044 Fuel Pump and she will be ready to fire up. Pulled it out of the garage, bled the clutch, bled the brakes, did an extremely accurate wheel alignment by eye and she was ready to fire up for her first drive. Started first go and ran beautifully... Until the oil filter sandwich plate cracked and started pissing oil... So it was back in the garage for now. The sandwich plate wasn't as easy to find as I had hoped so I switched the fitting back to standard and screwed on the standard filter to get it going. First drive went well, broke in the new motor hard, low revs 100% throttle. Bringing it home I hit a bump hard and all of a sudden it stopped running. Towed it home and ended up here. Spent a whole day in the driveway testing everything, pulling out spark plugs, testing all sensors yet couldn't even get it to idle. So brought it in, gave it a good wash, parked it in the garage and drove to Melbourne the next morning not to return for 3 months.
