Hi all,

Im planing to do this conversion around the middle of next year. But if funds permit i may do it a little earlier. Ill use the GTR rear dif and try get GTR brakes all round. My quetion is what box do u guys recomend as im not doing the AWD conversion i cant use the 6 speed box unfortunately :D How strong is the GTST box? as i want to do everything right the first time so when i have a bit more money down the track i can go for bigger power with fewer issues. Has neone done this conversion or have ne advice to give me it would be greatly appriciated.

Cheers

John

haha yeah thats cool, i was always under the impression they were 6 speed?? oh well im not missing out on nething then, also a gtr half cut is around 6g's ive been told as a real approximate around 10g's give or take a few. but i will also need new wheels aswell, so im giving myself a 15g limit for when i do it so i should be able to do a few mods straight away aswell. from my current insurace policy they only quoted 160 bucks extra for the conversion, and im 17 rating 5!!! i made the mistake of not getting it in writing cause im sure id never get a quote like that again it must have been a mistake.

i saved since i was like 10, working at my grandfathers company, then when i was old enough i worked at maccas aswell, i started saving for a car before i even knew what a skyline was, i managed to put together 10g's and my parents gave me another 6. and by the middle of last year i was a very proud owner of a skyline, since then every dollar i have earnt has gone into my car. And after y12 im planning to take out a 15g loan and do the converion.

this might be a stupid question but why are you getting the extractors if you're doing the conversion next year? i hope you go ahead with the conversion, it would be good to see it done and that way i'll know exactly what needs upgrading so I can do it to my car once i finish uni :D

what age do you get your license in queensland? i get mine in less than 3 weeks!!

u get ur learners when ur 16 and 6 months and have that for 6 months then u get ur p's then stay on them for 4 years. Yeah i figured the extractors wearnt too pricey and i just wanted i little bit more performance from my car for now, the high flow insert also isnt too pricey and an apexi afc i can use with the new engine.

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
