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]

When is the manual conversion?

[youbUTEy]

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.

Cool thread!! Love the big turbo.

i would of left the original dash in, yank out the stereo, A/C, and spair din pocket and just make that square bit in aluminium (or carbon fibre) and put ur gauges/ switches there.

otherwise looks tuff, keen to see wot its pullin

goodluck!

yeah i was thinking about it.

but i was aiming for the moon when i was in weight saving mood, and the dash is a fair bit heavier then the ally sheeet.

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

[dkbcleaner]

hey mate you should post up a vid of the sound of the side pipes

[youbUTEy]

good idea. if it stops raining till do that today.

only have a shitty camera but ill give it a go.

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]

i thought about your first way, and put it in the to hard basket

i thought about your second way and decided upon that when funds allow.

and i never even thought about your third way, but now that i am my little brain is hard at work pondering it

[KamikazeNinja34]

Can't say its something most people will have thought of lol

[youbUTEy]

update pics!!!!!

after finishing the engine i started on presentation and i decided to go for a full reverse panda paintjob, the roof was allready severly scratched from the previous owner so it was a big day witht he sanding block!!!

the bonnet is yet to be done, but the boot and roof are finished, well i still have to fill the holes in the boot and add the new carbon fibre spoiler but you get the idea.

PREP

LOL

AND THE FINISHED PRODUCT (EXCEPT BONNET)

[WYTSKY]

looken good mate! how'd u go with the dyno??

[youbUTEy]

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

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.
