Chrisrotary Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yeah cool! Wish i had the money to throw at a project like that. It must be a good feeling not worrying about what the boys in blue think. Can't wait to see that t-bar go. What are gonna race it in? Whatever you want i suppose. drag, drift, hill climb, sprints?

fuzzy_scuz Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 When is the manual conversion? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272714-the-skyline-shop-33-build/page/2/#findComment-4664042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbUTEy Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 the conversion wont be until late august when the car returns to brisbane. beleive me, im as excited about it as anyone else lol. i just cant do it where i am atm. the car is going to be a very multipurpose car, and will be raced an any event i can get to. and yeah i am absolutly sick of being hassled by the cops so i took the plunge and made it a track car, its just much better and it means i can run a propper car. the main racing i want to start doing is sprints and hill climbs tho.

youbUTEy Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 stole my idea of side pipes... nevermind ill have to go twin coming out under each door mate the side pipes are FANTASTIC lol. i really love them and they sound amazing with no cat and no muffler. i was thinking twin but then i just wanted to get the exhaust out of the car as quick as possible. so i went simple and just dumped it out the side. it should flow around 30% ish better then previous. but it sounds absolutle porn Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272714-the-skyline-shop-33-build/page/2/#findComment-4665412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorifticon Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 My only suggestion would be to try and make the plumbing from the front-mount to the inlet plenum more direct, reducing the length/bends of piping to the plenum will make your car more responsive. (I lost a lot of response on my r33 when I went to similar setup as yours). I have seen 2 ways of doing this, one is by cutting and shutting the existing inlet so the throttle faces forward, the other is just getting a pre-fabricated replacement plenum. What would be TOTALLY awesome, though, is if you could get an adapter plate to run the side-mount plenum and 6-throttle setup from the rb26. Imagine having the variable cam timing AND the individual throttle setup! wicked.

youbUTEy Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 240rwkw but then we had shitloads of blue smoke and i thought we blew an oil seal on the turbo but turns out i needed to run a restrictor in the oil feed and it was over oiling and causing smoke the. so hopefully back for round 2 next week Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/272714-the-skyline-shop-33-build/page/2/#findComment-4698260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priestley Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Looks like a great project mate. Only suggestion I'd make is to replace the standard seat if you haven't already. They don't hold you in place very well under hard cornering.
