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!!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
