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

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
