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?

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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
