Hey guys,

Just thought id share my happiness of my car finally being back on the road :)

Basically almost 2 years ago my my forged engine unexpectedly blew up most likely due to a Bee R Rev Limiter I had installed. Since then the car was at Created Motorsports getting a forged rebuild done with a change of turbo - HKS 25-40 and a few additions including an alluminium radiator, engine oil cooler & splitfire coilpacks. The car has now been run in and made a strong/responsive 262kws at the wheels which is loads of fun for a street/track drift car.

Since the car was off the road for over a year i got a little excited and thought id bring it back with a bang. So i got rid of the black & painted it Ferarri red as ive never seen a red r33 before & thought it would go much better with the black works :). The paint job was done by Kila Body Works who did a fantastic job.

Anyway i wont continue draining your lives, hope you like the pics.

i love this car :) to appreciate it you really have to hear the screamer... normally i dont like them, but deans sounds unbeleivable!

congrats on a clean car dean! i know you've been lovin it!

Thanks guys.

Yeah its awesome havin it back. I had little fun bangers for the time being while the car was off the road to keep me occupied but wasnt the same. Was the main reason why i took the car to the sandown drift practise day... so i could get the feel of the car again. I got a little too used to the R31's & VN's while it was gone lol.

As for the wing, yes thats a definate! & a nice pair of red or black recaro's would be awesome.

What do you guys think about a carbon fibre rear stealth wing on my car like hamish's? Im trying to decide whether to go for the carbon fibre one to suit the bonnet or just get a fibre glass one & colour code it to the car... Think ill do some photoshop work to decide.... :P

Heres a couple more decent shots...

Oh and the bonnet isnt carbon fibre... im waiting to find the right one. Thats why i didnt bother painting it and left it black for the time being.

very nice hopefully i'll be able to afford similar rims as well! i love meisters!

ever thought about doing carbon fibre boot with the drift lip ?

saw a white evo 6 the other night with black boot and wing blade looked good.

and if it's ok could i get the specs of the rims i.e. width and offset?

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
