well its not a r33 or r34 motor its actully a r32 im very lucky to cum across this motor well i bought this motor 4 6k they said its got nismo turbos meatal head gasket and cams so i told them no worrys ill take it i bought about 6k of parts for it ecu,coil packs etc no internals as i was taking it all apart so i could paint it up at work i found adjustible cam gears thort cool as we were putting the timing belt kit on we noticed the crank was moving back and forth 3 to 4mm so i ordered big end bearing and conrod bearings wen we went to chang the bearing we took the sump off and found all the goodies forged pistons conrods r33 balanced crank and a grex oil pump the old bearing were nismo items so yea sounds a bit to good to be true but it happened

good stuff, thats what i ,meant by not throwing in a second hand engine in without checking it... its lucky you got a good engine to start wiv, my conversion cost so much coz ive got a fairly big engine setup, thats where it costs the most...

good result, mine is weeks away from completion and i cant wait to drive it...

same cant wait to take it down the strip and see wat i can get with street tyers hoping to get into the 12s and it left alice springs today so hopfully be at boost worx next week to get finished

1 more question will it be loud as i dont hav any cat mufflers or any thing its just stright pipe pretty much i no its illegal but in this town cops r pretty cool they dont mind it as long as u got good tyers and u dont act like a wanker in town they dont really care wat u got dun to ur car

i have to moove to your town... wonder if theyd pull u over for max boost gate open!!!

you should run 12s easy,maby 11's, i ran 13.0 in my old s14 with only 14 psi, exhaust and a clutch with bald tyres...

it probably would be loud but not massivly....

A mate did a similar conversion and I'm pretty sure he used these guys I've linked below; my mate basically sent the original RB25 loom across with the RB26 loom and the guys modified it and sent back the modified loom. They were super helpful and the car started first turn of the key. Didn't cost much either from memory.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
