Well guys the day just came and went yesterday and before i knew it the line was gone from my house, down to rocklea it went to begin the trasformation, the tow guy was early which is good and the whole process started at 9:15, god it was good to see the car out again, i drove behind he tow truck to the garage and the look on divers faces as they watched the "line" on the back of the tow truck! I so glad the process has begun, i am like Noel i don't have the gift of patients however the car has been off the road for 2 months so i think i've held together alright don't we think? I've had the miss's on me back to get it out of the house bla bla so yeah.

Well guys today is the 4th october, my friend from uni john, has been hasteling me to get down to the garage and have a look. We unexpectivly showed up today and found my car out the font. As the boys @ Kaizen were working away hard, i just took these few snaps just to see what had been happening. Not really sure of the detail of the progress, he mentioned that the rotors have been machined. this was good to hear as i thought we were not going ahead with the brake conversion. so i am happy about that! Sorry about the picture quality in this post and through out the thread they are all off my 2 megapixel mobile camera. Anyhow let me know what u guys think. Hame :thumbsup:

ignuz, yeaha it just an rb25det conversion, already have large exaust system etc, as said in previous posts i have a FMIC with alloy piping to go on, i just bought a Greddy B.O.V, and a few other things but nothing major to the engine as far as internals go, after the conversion is done i wont have any cash left for spending, but yeaha i am pumped to see it started at least considering i havnt driven the car since the 30th of june! so yeaha i hope ot have it all done soon. Anthony has bought a new water pump for it.

Cheers, hame

Well spoke to a friend of the garage last night, and he informed my that the engine was put in over the weekend, dump had been welded to my existing exaust system (3") with large resinator and yeaha that's all i heard but just though i'd share it with u guys, just the wiring to go hopefully..! :P

nice... hopefully the loom won't be too much of a headache.

Yeaha hope it not too much of a headache, i am going to see the car over the weekend, so will be posting pics up as soon as i get them. cheerz, hame

YEaha i know what you mean it would be great to do all the work my self but my garage is a SLUG (single) and there is no room for engine cranes or anything like that. Anyhow went and got a prgress report, he is having trouble with the brakes he said but the engine was in, gearbox was in etc took a few snaps for people's viewing pleasure.

He said cut was from a series two so there was a bit of fiddleing around with engine mounts and loom etc but all is good now.

You can see where the cut marks are set for the FMIC, the front bar i don't think is going to be modified.

Let me know what you think, any questions i should ask etc.

He said it wont be long now till she is all complete! i cant wait having driven her since 30th june!

Kind Regards, Hame ;)

Good to hear that its coming along dude.

I might of missed it, but did you post up how much the process is costing (like the half-cut and transformation?)

Sorry if im blind.

So far cut has cost me 4k, labor i am fixing up when job completed. (approximatly 2k)

Lookin the goods mate!

In terms of diff.. I dont think there should be much of a diff.

Someone correct me if im wrong. Dont GTS's have an VLSD? Or open diff?.. Not sure.

I figure, either way.. you should leave it in there.. and if you going to upgrade.. dont bother with a GTR or GTST, just save and get a 1.5 LSD

yeaha i was hold they just had a LSD, what is a VLSD? so it shouldn be too weak for the series 2 rb25det, yeaha she is coming along which is great to hear, hoping to have her back in a week! So let's get some cruizes together!!!

LADIES AND GENTLEMENT! TODAY IS THE DAY! :P:) I AM GOING TO PICK UP THE R33 gts WITH RB25DET CONVERSION, I HOPE ALL HAS WORKED OUT WELL, I GOT THE CALL LAST NIGHT ON THE WAY TO WORK TELLING ME IT'D BE READY TODAY. SO I SHOULD BE GETTING A FEW PICTURES FOR YOU GUYS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD BE DONE, FULL ENGINE TRANSFER FMIC INSTALLATION WITH ALLOY PIPING.

CAR HAS NOT BE TUNED (does anyone think it should be)

CAR NEEDS A CLEAN UP (which i will be doing today)

IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS YOU ALL RECOMMEND I ASK?

YAY! hame!

nice work.

if you're running stock with the stock DET ecu, it should be fine.

ask:

- has the motor been serviced?

- anything freshened up?

- anything that might need a bit of attention?

- general wear and tear items, clutch, etc.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
