f**k this thing is loud on the inside.

don't know how happy stu was with it....but I was lucky enough to do some laps in the passenger seat and:

a. it goes like stink

b. handles pretty good and

c. stu seems to handle a steering wheel pretty good.

the dino-line is a unusual setup but its working damn well.

thanks mate, made a small error with uncle Duncan in the car like missing turn 1 but other than that the car was much better behaved. was much more confident under braking.

have some light throttle tuning to sort out and a gearbox selector issue but other than that very happy.

car held its own in a staight line against a few cars boasting 70kwatw more, but the weight factor would have a lot to do with it. wet weather sessions were interesting.....but car was solid once it dried out.

Some good Superlap type cars in the new issue of Zoom Magazine, boys and girls. Tilton Interiors Evo, a psycho red Supra (SUPRAT) and some great photography from the event.

There's also a full feature on the Roger Clark Motorsport (RCM) Gobstopper WRX and Stu's awesome LS1 R32.

Enjoy :-)

I knew there was a build thread around here somewhere and i've only just found it now.

Seeing this animal in the metal idling at a standing still and running on the track is a sight to behold. It's something that you just can't visualise mentally because it has to be seen in person.

Some shots I snapped of it running at Oran Park at the SAUNSW track day. :)

cant run any forced induction over 3000cc engine capacity in sports sedan and maximum of 6000cc aspirated.

ill stroke this engine when i freshen it up which hopefully wont be in the near future. car is a handful now with 300kw, cant imagine another 100kw.

currently in the process of getting car log-booked, just finishing off a few little odds and ends like remote battery isolator cable and sealing rear parcel tray. Getting inspected this week-end.

Thanks for the great words and pictures Xmetal. love the shot at the back of the track....

ls1 is an import. 5.0L V8 was holdens last V8 motor castine block.

if u knew something about those motors u can strap a snail on and get easy 400rwkw with stock internals..no shit motor!

Car all log-booked and have sent away for my L2S liscence.

Looking forward to show-n-shine in december, as i dont think ill get it out for a meeting before the end of the year. Discovered the tach-recall button and got a shock to see highest recorded rpm, probably shouldnt do that too often.

reverse gear repaired and gearbox back in the car, looking forward to next track day which will probably be at wakie and then powercruise.

weighed car and it went 1193kg which is a little heavier than i thought but still lite enough.

Good on you man you should be proud of yourself for trying this . i have a porsche carrera 2 with an LS1 in it, with great help from others , the LS1 motor is lighter than the stock 6 with turbos and generates more power . Good luck

Do show, where is your build thread?

hey guys, long time since any updates. Running the car on Anzac day to finish tune on the track to tidy up some light throttle issues. Also trying some new wheel alignment specs. Hope to see some of you there.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
