  1. Looking to buy some conversion fenders, got everything else to the puzzle just missing the fenders. Anybody have them lying around or knows someone who knows someone don't hesitate to PM me
  2. 1984 Toyota Tarago V8 I have been thinking about selling this for awhile now, So will put it up to see how it goes, Not fussed if it sells really, but cant really afford so many toys, I have had this van for about 5 years, The motor conversion has been in it for about 2-3 years, It was originaly a 3Y 4cyl and 5 speed manual...... It was far to slow....... It now has a mild 308 Holden V8, The motor was built by "The Brock Shop" a few years ago, It has been very well looked after and very regulary serviced, It has ported heads with bigger valves, springs etc, ACL Flat top pistons, Fairly lumpy cam (unsure specs) Edelbrock performer manifold, 600 Holley, MSD Coil, Crane cams ignition unit, Crane cams electrionic dizzy, hi volume oil pump, Rollmaster timing gear, new hi-torque gear reduction starter motor, brand new balanced flexplate with new ARP bolts, usual good gear, It has a 3000rpm Hi-stall convertor, trimatic auto box, new Hurst pro ratchet shifter, Running Commodore diff (3:23 ratio, open, really needs 3:89) It has twin radiators with thermo fans, stainless steel flexable bottom radiator hose, (sprintcar style) It is running a twin exhaust, has stock exhaust manifolds (not gotten to modifying extractors yet, But have big ones to go with it) has twin 2.25" exhaust to 2 "Hooker Headers Aero chamber" mufflers, then twin 2.5" tailpipes, sounds great, The van is currently making about 200rwhp, was making 185rwhp with an extremely restrictive exhaust but is now changed, Will make more as it needs a tune, This will be getting done when I find time etc, It is Mod plated for the conversion and registered as a 308 with the current motor, Registration due in January 2013, The van itself does have some rust in the usual Tarago places, and the paint is a rough, few minor dents etc, would need a paint job to look the part again, Also needs a windscreen as it has a crack in it, but makes for an awesome sleeper as is, I am still fixing it up slowly and will continue to do so untill sold, It is a pretty cool cruiser and gets lots of looks (many unsure and confused ones) and definatly a whole lot of fun to drive, It is still an 8 seater van so you can go cruising with 7 of your mates May swap or part trade with cash either way, open to offers Will swap drifter, S14, something tough, Make an offer Asking $4500 ono (dont offer me $2500 then try to tell me you know more about my car than I do!) Car is Located in Redlands area, Brisbane, 0481109712 The bullbar is no longer on it but it does come with it if wanted,
  3. hey guys, im looking at selling my RB25DET R32, the coversion has been done and it runs perfectly fine, it still have to be engineered but ive got a stock airbox and side mount piping also that can be put on there if you would want it. Pretty much the only reason im selling it is because i have been swamped with work and dont have time to finish it off. has the following parts: lightweight flywheel Heavy duty clutch 3" turbo back exhaust GTR front mount intercooler with custom pipes Turbo timer Has a bit of wear and tear on the outside(couple dints that can be popped out easy), and a bit of a scratch where i got side swiped outside my house . Not too sure what i want to see it for but im looking around maybe $7000, Any questions just PM me Thanks
  4. Posted this in the classifieds for my brother, just posting it here in the local section if any are interested. PM me. Cheers http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/408426-fs-s13-silvia-with-rb20det-conversion/
  5. Hi I’m after a r31 manual conversion kit in Adelaide can anyone help? Cheers ph 0407908059
  6. Just need someone or few people to give me a hand to convert my r34 sedan auto to manual All parts supplied Can $$ for work
  7. r34 GT to GTT conversion looking at putting a factory auto rb25det neo into my auto r34 gt, then new engine is out of a gtt, can anyone give me advise on what problems i'm likely to run into? i have read that there's an issue with the auto trans and possibly with traction control is anyone able to confirm this please?
  8. Hi Guys. Hope I can get some help here. I have searched to try and see if I can get any info but could not get much. If I could possibly get some info on the conversion I am considering doing please. I currently have and Rb 25 Det engine. These are some of the Mods that were done. Cylinder Head: Ported and Flowed Cams cut 270 All rb 26 internals: Valves , Lifters , Retainers , Valve Springs etc So the head is complete solid lifters solid cams not using vvt anymore. Sub Assembly is stripped due to detonation: 1 piston in the ringlands , no 6 big end bearing spun. So this is what I need help with please A friend of mine offered me a rb 26 bottom end that I can fit the Rb 25 det Head too. So some of the info that I have managed to get says it can be done. The Rb 26 uses 12 mm bolts. But are there any other mods that need to be done in terms of water galleries and oil? Can I use my rb 25 cometic head gasket of the block? Or is this a straight fit? Any input will be appreciated Chev R
  9. 240z with an RB30DET, Vic roads registration issues Dear Sau Community, I am planning on swapping an RB30DET into a 240z. I was wondering if anyone can see any blatant breaches of any VicRoads or Epa laws? I have read on here a Skyline with an RB30DET is illegal due to a modern Skylines emission standards and how it is a larger engine. I see the reasons that were explained there but do they still apply to a much older 240z? I plan on getting an RB30E engine block and replacing the head with a twin cam one from an RB25 skyline. Due to the engine being newer, having EFI, possessing double the valves, crossflow design and a better spark plug position it would be much more environmentally friendly than an older carburated engine despite it being 0.6L bigger than the L24. Does anyone know if the EPA has an issue with this? Maybe some turbocharging action could come later but for now, the swap is the biggest issue. It would also be very much appreciated to hear from anyone knows someone or has done it themselves who has tried and either failed or succeeded, your knowledge on the topic would be a great help. Also, anyone who has a completely legal RB swap in an S30 would be awesome too. I wait for your replies with bated breath. Regards, JSBlueGuy
  10. Converting a Gt-v into a 25gtt I know it's probs been covered already but I haven't come across anything to do with converting a gtv. I have a 2000 25gt-v (essentially a turbod car, just without the turbo engine) what will I need to convert it into a 25gtt? Obviously the engine, but I'm not sure if I'll need a new gearbox etc...
  11. Hi guys, I have a r33 gtr, I'm looking to convert to autottrans, in order to get good times on drag strip. What options do I have for a box that can withstand 1000hp. Opinions and ideas would be great
  12. hey guys, just wondering cos i have been searching for this all over the internet, and im looking to buy an r34 25 GT-4 (4WD rb25de neo) and after i get my full licence swap in a V spec RB26DETT that i have in japan. Will there be problems? or will it just bolt straight in and also ill obviosly convert the body kit as well to make it look like a gtr along the way
  13. hi there, im sure this has been asked before so sorry for the repeat, have been trying to search and seems the search bar (or my pc) hasnt been working for a few days. anyway, my brother drives a 2003 (i think) 350GT he has recently upgraded to much bigger AP racing calipers and rotors so here i am thinking i need bigger brakes when i see them in a box in the shed and they would be about perfect for what i need. (2 pot rear 4 pot front i think) would the rotors and or calipers directly bold on? and if not what would be involved in making them fit? also would i be needing a bigger than standard master cylinder? cheers Caleb
  14. So i did try to my research before starting another thread, ive read up on two separate posts that a series 1 r34 gtt bar will straight bolt on to a series 2, but ive also read that id need to change the reo and brackets for my headlight? has anyone swapped a series 2 bar before? (was contemplating the type r front bar swap)
  15. Running into a bit of an issue. R34 GTT auto trans has a speed sensor at the back, little 2 pin plug, assuming it's speed sensor 2 however the current trans harness doesn't plug into it. So assuming that either my harness is wrong or someone swapped out the sensor with a different one? Either way anyone have any ideas on what to do in this case? Is there a suitable replacement to speed sensor 2 or do I even need it?!
  16. Hey there lads, Ive looked around a little bit and have come up empty handed. Is it possible to run an r34 gtt auto gearbox in an auto r33 gts25t? Have you heard of this being done before? If its possible what do i need to do it? Im sure a lot of you are thinking why on earth don't I just go with a manual but any help is well appreciated. Cheers
  17. Hello guys, I picked up a nice little 2003 350GT-8 with a buggered CVT gearbox, I fitted a secondhand CVT gearbox but was unable to rectify the faults. After about 1 year of spending time trying to find the faults, I decided I would make the leap and convert the sedan to a 6MT from a 350Z. Please try and refrain from writing things like "WHY DIDNT YOU JUST BUY A MANUAL TO START WITH" etc etc. I don't care. The car cost me $1500 licensed and all, and 2k for the conversion. Still cheaper than buying a 350 6MT. This post will contain as many photos as possible as I progress through the build. This will be continually updated as I complete the stages. I have never been able to find out about mounting the handbrake lever, or the legalities on cutting the transmission tunnel out to fit the gearbox. I hope to provide some light on these matters for the next person to take on the conversion project. Removed CVT and threw it in the skip bin. Best feeling of my life. GOOD RIDDANCE. Removed the following; Carpet (needed a clean anyway) Front and rear seats Center console HVAC and anything in my way Witing harness Airbag module, Gyro & Traction control module. (NOTE ANYTHING WITH YELLOW PLUGS IS SRS AIRBAGS, MAKE SURE BATTERY UNPLUGGED ALSO DO NOT FLIP OVER THE SRS MODULE FROM UNDER THE CONSOLE, IF YOUR BATTERY IS CONNECTED OR IT HAS CHARGE IT WILL SET OFF YOUR AIRBAGS. IVE SEEN IT DONE. VERY DANGEROUS.) Brackets and really anything you see is going to slow you down. Mock fitted the console and handbrake assembly to see the alignment. Measured gearbox to the tunnel. Pictures of the handbrake assembly and how it DOES NOT match anything on the original tunnel, I guess you could make up a few brackets and cut some holes but that is dodgy and I want this thing to be as good as factory when I am done. I have a manual tunnel from a 350Z, I have decided to remove the inner skin that has the moulding for the manual trans and the handbrake that I require. Once done will be as simple as bolting it all onto the new inner skin as per factory. I was able to drill out the spot welds with a Spot weld cutter available for $20 its like a little hole saw. I have a qualified boilermaker / engineer on hand to weld the skin into the cars existing tunnel. There are A LOT of little spot welds not marked with arrows, the arrows are just pointing out a few of the ones I started to cut out. More photos and info to come! Thanks
  18. Hey guys im swapping my n/a S1 rb25de to a series 2 Rb25det and i was just wondering what things will i need to make it a straight swap e.g will it bolt straight onto my gearbox and will the engine mounts be the same cheers
  19. Sooo, I hope someone of you have done this and can give me some advice. The R32 subframe got 4 bolts for the front of the rear diff, will probably just move the R32 part over to the S15 subframe (cut and weld). But how about the other reinforcement in front of the R32 front bushes? And the overall feeling is that the R32 subframe looks stronger. Any thoughts and advices, let me have them
  20. I have a couple of R31 to sell. I have moved to New Zealand and have no where to store them anymore. Hoping they will go to a good home and continue where I left off with drifting. Both cars run sweet but the GTS-X needs a windscreen and a good tidy up. It seems a shame to strip the GTS-X but realistically it will make an excellent donor for the TI which is already set up for drifting. Im looking at about $2000 for the pair or will sell seperately for the right price. PM me for more info and offers. 1989 R31 TI details: RB30E Surge tank and external Walbro fuel pump. S13 Strut conversion with Tein coilovers R33 N/A front brakes (stock wheels fit over them) Manual conversion. Brass button friction plate. Mini spool. Electronic line locker. Nitros Oxide wet kit. Solenoids removed but lines and brackets still installed. Pacemaker extractors with 2.5" straight through exhaust. Heaps of rims. Heaps of spares. Much more that I have forgotten. 1989 R31 GTS-X details: RB20DET Front mount intercooler. S13 Strut conversion with 5 stud rotors. 4 pot front brakes All new suspension. Sway bars. Strut braces. Nissan Patrol pressure plate with brass button friction plate. Also more that's been forgotten. PM me for more info, offers, etc
  21. Hey guys im wanting to try and get the R34 GTR body kit for my GT and im wondering you can just fit the front side and back with out having to do a full conversion with the tail lights and all that seems a bit price i will be putting a new RB25 turbo engine in once off my p's so ill have the car for a long time let me know if you guys thinks its worth doing or if it can even be done the way i wanting to do it
  22. looking for advice,prices and what i need to get for an auto to manual conversion. i have a series 1 gtst if that helps, any info or help will be greatly appreciated thanks.
  23. Hey everyone, I'm new to Skyline's and I own a semi-automatic R34 25GT. I've owned it for a little while now and after mucking around with the triptonic feature I am completely persuaded to look at a conversion. I was originally looking at manual but the deal with the car was solid so I settled for automatic. I know that it's not a cheap thing but I do plan on keeping the car for years to come. (On my red P's at the moment) Can someone please help me out with advice about doing this? Thanks!
  24. Hey guys, I am about to drop my 300kw SR20 into a R32 shell and am struggling to find any technical information regarding the swap aside from the below. Use SR cross member Need custom tail shaft I really want to know what is necessary from a wiring perspective and if anyone has already done the swap any hurdles they came across. Yes i have extensively searched the interweb, and pls no comments "why no rb" lol ive heard it all already!!!! Cheers!
  25. Nissan Skyline R32 -> R34 Hi there! I may or may not be doing this correctly but here is my shot at it. My name is Sony and I live in the United States, I am 19 and am going to be purchasing an Nissan Skyline R32 GTR soon and will be doing an R34 Body Kit Conversion to it as well; I will need help from each and everyone of you that will offer it, and I am definitely looking for ideas and questions from everyone reading this that are interested in JDM and GTR's, about this whole project I will be starting up soon. If I may start this off, does anyone know of any decals they would want to see on a show room level GTR, and what color scheme I should do?
