Thought you may be interested in the project I just picked up from QLD.

2 seater Z32 hardtop.

It was an unfinished project which is going to save me a heap of time.

Twin catch cans

Large PWR radiator and custom air intake.

Motec M800 and AEM CD2 spark amp.

Suspension is Proflex with remote reservoirs in each corner. ROH alloys with Hoosier semi slick all brand new.

I also got 5 full boxes of extra parts, pedal boxes etc etc. I am still trying to figure out what is what.

Need to track down a MOTEC digital dash.

Should be fun. I am hoping to have this finished by Mid 2009.

The chasis is still a bit fat so a course of dieting to rip some more weight out of it is the next step.

Dropped in to catch up with some mates in Sydney on the way back.

Pretty stoked today :)

Went over to Zoom at Wynum to pick up another gearbox (broke 5th gear) and Troy gave me a 32 GTR rear wing in fibreglass. I bought a genuine one off ebay but forgot how heavy they were... 7kg versus 1.5kg. Small things excite me I guess :)

These teins look pretty good....whats a set of them for r33 gtst's worth these days?

Im thinking time to upgrade from my bilstiens

i bought mine from yahoo auction, i was lucky that they had just been rebuild by tein in japan :ninja:

Tein japan still list them on their website for the r33 gts-t so maybe someone that can write japeneses can shoot them off a pm for you. but im guessing they wont be cheap but they are awesome!

Both cars look great Cameron. Any more details the both of them?

Very neat engine bay in your car by the way, nice job.

Imported the FD around July this year as a race/rally only. stripped the car completly bare straight away, fitted the seat, got the roll cage done, put some ohlins in it with different rate springs, larger rims, took it for a test, got too hot, back to the shed and totally reengineered the cooling system and air flow, made some lexan windows and got it retuned, then went back out testing, cooling system was great, but cracked an apex seal and lunched two rotor housings ( typical rotory :P )

Now has a brand new motor with a bit of porting and extras, converted to a biggish single (still waiting to come from us of a) should be up and running and backout there soon.

My car is still a street car and registered, has most of the interior still in it etc, stripped it out a little, fixed back seat, harness etc, don't really want to make it into a dedicated track car. just a weekend/sprints fun car :yes:

cheers Michael!

If worst case....cant get those...whats the next best?

Cheers!

new about $5K+ for the RS, maybe $3500 for the RA. second hand under $3K for the RS and a bit cheaper for the RA. but second hand can be a lottery. everyone will always say they are in tip top shape, but it's not always the case. best bet is if buying second hand from an unknown then budget for a rebuild, or at least get them on a shock dyno to be checked and set-up.

I saw that Zed for sale and have to say i was often thinking it seemed to be a really good buy. Its a rude question and you dont have to answer, but how close to asking price did you get it for?

There was a fair bit of tooing and froing as i didnt want some of the gear. So the brakes came off, drivers seat wouldnt fit my ass in it so it came out as well.

It had side mount Inter Coolers but would have preferred a FMIC, so they came out. After looking at the fabrication he had already done i am gonna get the SMIC's to make my life easier.

So basically it was a bit cheaper but not much.

Good old rotors!

Sounds nice mate. Keep us updated when it hits the track again

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
