I currently own a GTR and am looking at doing a bit of a project car. I used to own a R-31 skyline and found them to be a good car to drift. Plus i'm pretty sure RB20 and 25's bolt in pretty easy. (love the RB's.) If I went with a pintara/R31 Skyline shell is it a straight bolt in for the engine and gear box?? Has anyone got pics and info on doing this?? Wat are some other options?? Blue bird, KE70?? Any help would be awsome.

Cheers fellas

Toyota cressida with 2JZ. easily. Or even a 1JZ if you can't afford the 2J upgrade. Its all relatively simple to do as the chassis came with a 1JZ in japan (but not in Australia).

Make sure you have the lace doiley's on the seats and a box of tissues on the back parcel shelf for added sleeper factorial.

Then you drift it like so:

Nah, you guys got it all wrong...

1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 wagon, with the 4WD set up so it runs only in RWD. Engine conversion to 4AGE 20V ala trueno, panda-style color scheme with watanabe rims, etc etc.

Now that's a sleeper, essentially a Trueno wagon... Don't steal my idea now, will you? :D

go the 31 dude

can chuck cheap s13 suspension gear into em

just find rb25head and whack it onto rb30 head

then plenty of torque and whack a turbo on

31 all the way

plenty of AUNGER sun shades available for the rear, and grandpa sun visors for front of car

for really sleepishness go s1/2, or just a cream colour in s3

31 all the way!!

haha..... i knew it was just a matter of time until you found this thread and threw in a "GO THE 31!" comment

So.... what he said! ^

If the 25/30 conversion sounds like too much work, just dump an RB26 in instead.

ok, 31, stagea. here is a compromise - this is what you want!!!!!!. pick it up for next to nix from yahoo auctions!!!

Edited by 88silhouette

Best sleeper i have seen was a 1986 mitsubishi triton ute with a sigma 2.6litre turbo in it no changes at all just new clutch

this thing pisses it realy does and it is poo brown

i will bring him to the next cruz

james

If i had the spare cash:

Cresida ''izumida'' style cresida.1jzs can handle the punishment.

Or a grandpa 31 with s13 suspension and rb 26 or 30 powah!!!.

Which car would be the most cheapsk8 option??

And how much would the car and conversion cost.Inc the few nessesities like suspension,clutch and lsd???

    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
    • hahahaa @GTSBoy that is my last resort. Like use a cardboard and cut it using the indicator as a reference. But I was winging my luck to see anyone had a spare bumper because drawing the outline off the hole is always easier and less chance of mucking it up
    • Admittedly in that screenshot its doing about 13psi but later on in the log theres definitely spikes to 16. What is missing though is the massive peak, then a big drop and then a recovery. While it does go a little higher than I would like on base pressure, I think it's reasonably safe to assume that boost control via the mac valve should be a lot easier to control from here on out. I wasn't game to hook up the mac valve today as it's very wet and it's on the verge of fighting traction as it is.
