Hi Guys

Some of you's maybe following our other project build N1 GTR RH8/RH9 Build. This is where it all started 3yrs ago. My first car i bought was a Freshly imported R34 GTT when i was 18yrs old, after owning that for a year my dad wanted a GTR so naturally i tagged along, and we test drove a few GTR's and ever since that day i never wanted to drive that GTT again so within a couple of weeks i sold the GTT to dad and bought a midly modified 95 R33 GTR and ave owned it ever since. Paid 40k for it in 2007 and since then have spent another good 50-60k on it.

The main reason for buying that particular GTR was:

1.Had a freshly run in R34 N1 NUR Engine in it.

2.AP Racing 6Pot Brakes on 355mm Rotors.

3.It looked hot at the time.

The main aim is to compete in the Superlap Series Soon. The car has just finishished Stage 4 Mods and can't begin stage 5 until the drag car is complete.

The list of parts will take days to write down, all's i can say is that it is 100% JDM, and again all work was done by us 3, only payed for someone to put tyres on the rims. This car has been the lab rat and big learning curve and will be featured in HPI Magazine soon.

Hope you enjoy will put pics up tomorow night and am happy to answer any questions you may have. Cheers.

Thanks man i like fuel system too probably the best part of the car. The rear diffuser is made by ABFLUG, its fully carbon fibre and bolts onto the standard rear bumper cost me about $1500 from japan, but well worth it.

Hi Guys

I never cut the wheel well out just sheeted it of with some 3mm alloy with a support brace in the middle the used self taping screws to hold it down. Just used the outline of the carpet to get the correct size. Not the hardest job to do, then gave it a polish.

As for toys we do have another skyline a R34 GTT, but is just a daily driver (for now) it makes 222rkw at 12psi on standard turbo. We do have our old RB26 bottom end to put in it with the Rb26 Plenum aswell. Plans for that car will be a GTR widebody kit and full engine build to make bout 400-450rkw's maybe turn into drift car (see how the future pans out). But for now main focus is the R32 Drag car.

Here's a pic of the GTT for ya's. Cheers

Hi Guys

I haven't gave a update in awhile so here's whats goin on.

The photoshoot for HPI was a great sucess, i would like to thank Scott at autoshotz for the awesome pics, couldn't be more happier, so stay tuned for HPI magazine for a write-up on NUR33.

Over the last month i was considering selling it, but after a hard long think i've decided to keep it, as i will never get my money back for it. The next stage for this project will be the most outrages overhaul NUR33 is ever gonna undertake, rego is due this month and its the last time i am ever gonna pay it (6 months). The car is great on the street, but is gives me the shits when i cant use its full potential, so March next year its getting a full tear down. Just waiting for dad to get RH8/9 R32 car off the hoist.

Anyways i am willing to budget another $70k-80k towards this project over the next 2yrs, as my goal is to have the most mental R33 in Australia. I want to kinda do what Mark Berry has done with his car, but with a few more unique touches (if thats possible) and try do as much of it myself. I have driven R32,R33 and R34 GTR's and consider the R33 to be the most stable so im gonna stick with it (even though its a lard arse).

As for now NUR33 is just a street car, our main focus is the R32 at the moment as we kinda want it complete by Christmas, that with give us a few months for testing, then Jambo here we come.

Here's a lil list of things to come:

-Carbon Everything (and i mean eveything)

-Either 2.8 or 3.0ltr bottom end

-Dry Sump

-HKS 2530's or GTRS

-Rollcage and Airjacks

-Holinger Gearbox

-Custom Subframes and Engine moved back.

-Better Brakes

-Plus a load more.

Any feedback will be greatly appreticiated as i need ideas and theories for help make this car one of a kind.

Cheers

Benny

Hi Guys

Its been awhile since i updated this, many plans have changed since last time and i am sporting some new mods. It has pretty much been a dust collector for the last 6 months, as we have been busy with the R32 Drag Car. Once the R32 is finally off the hoist i can start doin some more major mods on the R33. If anyone is a HPI Reader you might have noticed it was in Aprils Issue 120, its a same it looks way better now.

New Mods that have been done:

-Brand New Genuine Series 3 Xenon Lights (Sexy)

-Autoselect Chibi Devil Front Lip (To match the canards)

-Eastbear Clear Front Indicators.

Plans have changed quite a bit, the car is no longer being turned into a track car, as we sold the R34 GTT to fund the drag car, so we dont have a street car anymore. So plan is to make it as nice streeter, as its stupid owning to race cars and not been able to use them all the time.

Mods to come:

-Full Superior Auto Creative Leather/Carbon Interior

-Window Tint

-A/C put back in.

-New Paint Job

-New Carbon Bonnet

-And some minor engine work.

Updated pics will be up soon.

Cheers

Benny

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
