youbUTEy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 so, i bought this car a couple of months ago, with the idea that it would be the next project car. its going to be a track only car and i have de registered it. first things first, up on the dyno to have a look. 190rwkw on stock everything, not to bad. then after saving up for a while ad working out what i needed and what i wanted i took the car to the shed, and took it apart. i bought a new turbo, manifold, computer, injectors, coils, and a rolling dyno tuning program, and im in the process of putting all of that on to see how it goes. (yes my girlfriends sister had a party in the shed) and to the inside, i ripped out all of the interior stuff, sound deadening, roof lining, air con, heater, carpet, rear seats, seatbelts, gutted the dash, removed lots of wiring, most of the dash and i am making a custom alloy one. here are some progress pics. and tomorrow hopefully get the new dash finished so thats my liner so far, ill keep this updated as i do things. feel free to comment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272714-the-skyline-shop-33-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbUTEy Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) yeah when i bought the car thats what was in it, and as i live way out west its not just a matter of picking up another box and swapping it in. the car is going on a train at the end of the year and heading back to brisbane so ill do a man conversion in the new year. there just isnt the facilities to do it here on that note, before the car gets back to bris i am stuck with the auto box, how much can they handle stock?

chrisdoherty Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 hey mate nice car. what ecu are you running? in regards to auto box i have a vr commodore with a rb25 in it (just a fun little project) with auto and was asking the same question. ive seen 330rwhp with stock auto no trans cooler. i ran a big trans cooler and also got onto MV AUTOS and bought a manuilesed shift kit for r33 auto box. they shift harder and obviously manualised. around $300 i think it was. i am hoping that the box will see above 360rwhp with that setup.

youbUTEy Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 hey mate thats really interesting. could you maybe pm me with any info you have about the box? i was more going down the manual conversion road, but in the meantime i want the auto to hold up while i take it to the strip! cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272714-the-skyline-shop-33-build/#findComment-4643765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
