Nur33 Soon To Be A Time-attack Weapon.

[nickoracer]

Wow That car looks fantastic. Was considering painting the engine bay. mine is pearl white. How many hours do you think it took. or how many days .

[On Edge]

u must have the largest sig in history lol

[Nur33]

If you had to remove the engine and all the other engine bay stuff probably a good week to do it all properly, i already had my engine out, so it only took a couple of days.

Hi Guys

Have finally collected all the tooling i need to pull apart my gearbox, have found the problem with it, there were 2 crunchy bearings on the mainshaft making all that noise, so all in all a fairly cheap fix. Was gonna replace all the synchros and bulk rings and all the other little bearing but have found out nissan no long make spare parts for the FS5R30A Gearbox anymore so that was a real kick in the nuts. So i just be replacing the 2 bearings and slapping her back together.

Also just ordered a ship load of braid and fittings as i am re-doing my fuel system so i can run on e85 and also sent my turbo housing, manifolds and dumps away to be ceramic coated. I bought another set of cam covers and still tossing up the idea of getting them chromed or anodized, hopefully my newly painted engine bay will look better than every before.

Cheers

Benny

Yeah Cal gonna buy it by pallet 4x205Lt Drums, my r33 will only run e85 for power runs and drag strip, don't plan on using it for street use. But the R32 will most probably running on e85 all the time.

I wish I had a shed like yours, haha...

Hurry up and get it back on the road, lad. Gotta go for a roll with you guys sometime. If you need a hand, just give us a yell.

[Nur33]

Ah wish the shed was another 3 bays bigger got to much shit in there, i'm hurrying don't worry should hopefully have my turbos and manifold back on monday then the engine is going back in not long now have to catch up with some time robi !!!

[Nur33]

Finally got my turbo housings and manifolds back now its time to get this ball rolling and put the engine back in. Still waiting on a few more fittings and have ordered a Billion Power Steering tank and Got a set of Bride Floor Mats coming as well.

They look awesome. Who did the coatings for you?

Keen for a beer sometime this weekend, man? Or are you out at work?

Hi Guys

Another update, got the engine in the car today, all went well. Still waiting on a few more parts to come in the mail and have to order the Vipec V44 yet but all in good time. Gonna send my other Cam covers away to Hi Octane next week to get powder coated (still don't no what colour to get yet). Should have my new Hankook tyres tomorrow, and hopefully here back about my new car i am getting. I have put a deposit down on a 2008 Mitsubishi Evo X MR a nice Black one as the white ones seem to be to expensive still, will hopefully have it all sorted out tomorrow as well. Anyways here's some pictures of todays progress:

Super Jealous

Hey Ben, whered you get the bearing kit for your gearbox? I've heard CBC Bearings sell a kit. Need to replace the bearings in mine I'm pretty sure, when I have a daily I will be pulling the box out and doing that. Will give me time to see if everything else is all good and order parts (if they are available) if I have to replace anything.

Back on your car but, engine bay respray looks good, its suprising how much of an improvement it makes especially on darker cars. My old Calais got much nicer with some paint in the engine bay

Back before I could afford a Skyline

Yeah Cal i got the bearings from the bearing shop across the road from bob jane tmart's in Victoria St i think it was United Bearings Cost about $30 each, you will need a lot of gear to pull the gearbox apart cost me about $1200 in tools just to do the job as you need puller kits and hydraulic press for putting the bearings on. As for the engine bay, the paint job makes it look 100% better than before should look fairly nice once complete, deleting all the ABS shit makes a whole lot better aswell.

[89CAL]

We have a press at home, and dad has plenty of bearing pullers etc at his work so hopefully should be right, He seems to think hes got the gear to do it so should be alright lol

$30 each is alright, did you replace all of them? It seems I have at least one worn bearings on one of the shafts (has a nasty clunk in 5th gear and makes some noises when releasing the clutch in neutral) Thinking about getting a lightweight flywheel while the gearbox is out but not 100% sure on that yet

Anyway, enought thread stealing. Will talk about this further in the Mackay thread if you have any more information about what you found with the bearings and what you ended up having to replace.

Back to NUR33 haha

Change of plans again... still have some ideas floating around in my head but i'm leaning towards turning the R33 into a full and proper time attack car now as i have no need to have 2 street cars, as the Evo X will be here in a couple of weeks. So everything will pretty much be getting sold and starting from scratch. If anyone is interested in any parts give me a yell, i'm in the process of writing out a list of parts that have to go.
