Hi Stu, who's doing the cage in the evo for you? it looks sweet as im about to put one in my R32 finally

Cheers, Ray

Ray - Darren Elphingstone. Will PM his details. Come have a look a the cage if you want.

could find that he is running agressive grind on cam which sacrafice mid-range. Just speculating though.

You probably need the more aggressive ramp rates of the solid lifter cams to get the mid range and response that goes with the multi setup on the RB26s

cams..... :P

they are

Inlet 255deg 8.21 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.48" lift @ TDC (no variable timimg)

exahust 258 deg 8.22 mm peak lift. Installed with 0.18" lift @ TDC.

That should make the lobe seperation 112deg....I think.

The tourque line on the dyno is much flatter, doesn't have the boot response out of a corner I was looking for. I was only able to put in a short test this week and didn't get a chance to try much. just felt slow and sluggish down low and needed to be up in the revs. felt very forign. Gatton is this weekend so I have put it back to the old setup.

On that note, is anyone else going to Gatton?

interested mine is complete different. I'm still running stock cams and cam gears with the VCT.

What turbo are you running? I have responds everywhere compare to my oldsetup.

okay posting for phunky_monkey... please note I did not build it and haven't gotten it to the track yet but hey, what else am I going to do on a Friday

Previously owned by Nathan from the SAU Vic club

'96 R33 GTR, built by Ben @ Racepace many moons ago so is a bit old school

Built motor with Tomei gear, pistons, big cams, springs, lifters etc etc... with Benno custom sump and catch can etc

Trust T517Z 8cm turbos

Trust FMIC, Radiator and Oil Cooler etc

Tein Type-RE Coilovers etc

Harrop 4-pot Calipers, 355mm 2-piece Rotors

BBS LM Forged Alloy 18x10.0 +20

and a bunch of other supporting parts... makes 360rwkw @ 20psi

Is pretty loud and lumpy and generally not as refined as recent Racepace GTRs but I love it... it has personality :)

and it gets me to work really quickly lol :P

soon to be at a track day near you :D

Excuse the filth, had been driving in the rain before this...

nope not hard to sell at the price I sold it for! lol

I got the shits with it and sold it to the first guy who sounded serious and came and looked at it... he got a bargain but I'm happy as I didn't have to put it on carsales and deal with all the dreamers and test pilots

its mostly r32 drivers who say that, but onlt a Zed driver would consider it to be light lol.

Holy crap !! That looks really tough !!

Lot of people think R33's are a bit heavy. But I just love the look of a R33 GTR. If ya love it who cares !!

LMAO, I look forward to making you eat them words with the race zed at 1100KG in a few months :P

JP laughs when I tell him mine will be lighter than the slot car. Short wheel base, hard top FTW :)

we'll see. :( whats the go with short wheel base?

finished stripping the R33 yesterday (need to nick a cam from work). When i pulled the carpet up, I found a HKS F-Con S. The rear wheel bearings we got were the wrong size so we can't move it to get the cage in yet. Nissan said there was a set in Melb, so we should be able to get it to the cage builder by the end of the week.

we'll see. :P whats the go with short wheel base?

Well the Z32 came in 2 versions 2 seater and 2+2 which was 120mm longer wheel base. AFAIK there where no hard top 2+2. All where targas.

The weight distribution on the 2 seater is slightly worse than the 2+2 BUT it also weighs over 60KG less. And being a hard top it even lighter losing another 30 KG.

So basically as much weight as possible out of the front and between the axels. Then leave the back alone shoving as much as possible rearward.

4WD is cool when its a GTR. I just like Z32's and love RWD. Most of the useless weight in a Z32 is creature comfort stuff.

I dont have any of that. :banana:

I am hoping it will be ready to go by the time we get Superlap down here and will enter Marque sport in the meantime. :down:

I have a huge pile of nice bits to bolt on when the workshop is cleared out.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
