Gday all

Just Bought an R33 gts-t Shell (Literally) the only thing it has is Front, Rear and Rear Quarter windows

I Have no Parts for it at the moment Buy them as i go. Where Should I Start?

Thanks

I will shortly be pulling a 235RWkW engine out of my R33 to make room for a RB30/26. Also available is a R33 GTST Powerfc and hand controller. Engine comes complete with GT3076 turbo. Splitfire coilpacks and Z32 AFM, if your interested??

I reckon it will work out a lot more expensive and frustrating that just buying a working car..

If you're than keen on building it up, then try find a wrecked 33 that you can swap the interior and working bits from.

yeah seems a little crazy.. unless you're thinking about a stripped interior drifter/track car or something. I'd say you'd really be struggling to find everything from forums/2nd hand, hope you know some one who works for nissan. might be worth buying a halfcut though as others have said.

Halfcut gets you everything you need from dash forward. Schedule about 4k? (Haven't really looked into halfcut prices recently)

In terms of interior there is a guy in Perth wrecking 2 33's atm that will probably have most the parts you need. His thread is in the FS section (Car parts and Accessories)

Running gear you'd have to source, referring to hubs control arms etc and again that guy has a turbo 33 that hes parting out which should have most of what your looking for.

Once you have 90% of it in I'm sure you'll start looking for specific parts. If your doing the work yourself and its a bit of a project then good luck with it all and im sure it will be a rewarding process.

If you were looking at trying to get a cheap r33 this way you'd be better off selling this hell and getting a complete car.

Pretty sure he bought the leftover shell from the guy that was wrecking those 2 33's. It is smashed and literally bare except for glass: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bo...ts-t254005.html

To be honest man I think you would be better off buying a complete car. Not only do you need to fix the smashed up front end but you need to buy so many individual components to get it to a working state...it will be a massive headache.

If you were trying to do it this way to save money then I think you will be suprised at how much you dont save.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
