Dude get this on the ground already so we can go cruising like in the old days and hold up traffic for ages hahaha

it's been on the road.......for a month and a half before clutch problems. I'm up for another bogan cruise if you are. bring on the mullets wigs!

If you're thinking of selling them...

i don't need'em, wouldn't you have a set on the r33 already anyway. aren't r33 gts-t's pretty much the same as non v-spec r32 gtrs?

Oh hmm... I should look into that factor...

I was shown the other day some nice 8 pots that a member uses on here for racing with... able to purchase the full kit for $1,500 brand new...

I'm keeping my eyes on it, and might buy it very shortly...

So cool. Its a shame we cant have these like the yanks do... TT VH45DE :worship:

they are, when i was doing the research in to it for 450sx i found that the maximum boost-able engine size is just over 4.5 ltrs for a s13. i believe it's 60 cc within the range. these figures were calculated using the weight of 1140kg stated as the factory weight times the factor of 4.82 for na and 4.0 for boosted. from the following link. the ADR limits are slightly different.

so the maximum turbo or supercharged engine in a 180sx can be 4560cc and 5494cc for naturally aspirated.

so imagine the engine that will able to go in a 1500kg skyline.

I think you'll find you're using the wrong value aren't you? Aren't you meant to be using the bottom one? 5.46 and 4.68 for N/A and Turbo respectively? Isn't mono constructed like those one off builds/kit cars?

i don't need'em, wouldn't you have a set on the r33 already anyway. aren't r33 gts-t's pretty much the same as non v-spec r32 gtrs?

they are basically identical imo, 300mm vs 298mm rotors and the same calipers or something like that, nothing in it.

mono constructed is the modern way to make car chassis, it's dual constructed if its body can detach from the rails, like model t ford. unless your making a hot rod? at least i think that's what they mean.

hey dude quick question, what spigot bush did u use for the 300zx box conversion? did the new one need any machining to fit in the 45 crank? also wherew did u get those UAS engine mounts? nice car man 190kw with headers mad shit

Edited by akaaa7

You make it sound so easy lol.

Wish it was so easy! I knocked it out with a cold chisel from memory, you could also mig weld a metal bar to it and lever it off...

I like welding stuff! :thumbsup:

Get that damn car on the road Farch!!

And, nismo used to sell side skirts for your 180! they look good as I saw on today.

If the spigot bush has a hole drilled the whole way through it, you can try the old trick of filling the bush with heavy duty grease, and then hammer a steal bar that is machined to fit perfectly into it. The grease makes a perfect seal, and it can't be compressed, so it pushes the bush out.

That's if the bush is hollow the whole way through. If not... Too bad, so sad. :P

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but torn up paper poked into the hole (newspaper works great), then punched (same principle as grease method) in with a hammer & punch works very well. Then you just flick out a mashed up wad of compressed paper fiber.

Clearances need to be very close for grease method to work, otherwise it just pumps out around the punch; much less important with torn up paper.

Amazing build BTW; love the execution.

about 7 months ago i hit up ross tuffbond to make a custom balancer and was told it would take 6 weeks, the six week came i rang up and was told haven't had time. I gave up, and completely forgot about it, thinking it was never going to happen. well i got a call last week and this was apparently just finished!

Well we got the gearbox back together finally.

And the new intake setup is sorted too. We found that the BMC filter setup was too restrictive for the engine, so that got the boot and a replacement was found.

That involved going to autobahn and ordering the biggest k&n filter we could get our hands on with a 90mm outlet.

Then massaging (hammer :whistling::) ) the engine bay to fit the mammoth filter, which also required the 90mm airflow meter to be chopped.

All fitted sweet in the end and the car now goes even better. Farch will explain his test drive later....

The 20cent coin in the second pic gives you an idea how big this thing is!!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
