need fuel pump for 31,

i dont think ill do the fuel cell set up right away, so an internal one for now will be fine.....

obviously whatever i get will have to be re-wired eh?

I have 040 sitting in my shed :)

no one's got 265 Ku36, till next year, ended up getting 275

I run KU36 275/35/18 on 18x10 +20 BBS rims. I needed to get my guards rolled to stop the tyres rubbing but this was after the crap repair my car received so maybe if the guards had been fitted correctly the tyres wouldn't have rubbed.

I run 245's on a 8.5 rim at the track, If i was you i'd be going 255's minimum. No need to stretch your tyres on a 9.5inch rim on a GTR.\

I'm pretty sure Sled had 255's on his 9.5's on his GTR.

problem is KU36's dont come in 255's, it was either 245/35 or 265/35, both would have been fine, the 265 obviously being a tighter fit, but the price jumps a decent amount from the 245 to the 265

got told tonight by my boss i could have friday night off to go play with my broom brooms lol

cant wait to get the 34 out on the drag strip again :D

What times are you clocking currently?

So, does anyone know if you have to shorten the tailshaft on a R32 when you install a RB25 using the RB20 box? I wouldnt have though so, but I read somewhere it said even with the 20 gearbox you have to :D

haha, rad, cheers buddy, awesome link.

group buy?!?!?? =O

and hence why i suggested the slightly higher side wall... doesnt stretch so bad

option1 garage or head down to adelaide tyrepower and talk to troy about em. he should be able to price match them.

got told tonight by my boss i could have friday night off to go play with my broom brooms lol

For anyone who has ever sworn at a tool...

Wordsmithing definitons..

Description of common tools.

DRILL PRESS:

A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock

out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer

across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully

set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:

Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench

with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses

from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh s h --'

SKILL SAW:

A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

ADJUSTABLE WRENCH:

Used to start the process of rounding off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the

creation of knuckle abrasions.

PLIERS:

Used to complete the process of rounding off bolt heads. Sometimes used in

the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER:

An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into

major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:

One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle.. It

transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more

you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:

Generally used after pliers completely round off bolt heads. They can also

be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on

fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which

you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW:

A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for

testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC JACK:

A tool used for raising a car to change a flat tire that seldom fits under a

car with a flat tire.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:

Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your

new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW:

A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good

aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can

after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:

A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to

disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:

Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style

paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be

used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:

A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted

screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

WIRE CUTTERS:

Handy for cutting wires and zip ties. Can also be used to determine the

presence of electricity.

PRY BAR:

A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed

to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER:

A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:

Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a

kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object

we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:

Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered

to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl

records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and

rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes and

fingers, but only while in use.

Son of a bitch TOOL:

Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son

of a bitch' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool

that you will need.

So, does anyone know if you have to shorten the tailshaft on a R32 when you install a RB25 using the RB20 box? I wouldnt have though so, but I read somewhere it said even with the 20 gearbox you have to :D

I wouldnt bother.

the RB25 will munch the RB20 box in no time, do it right teh first time and go a whole 25 package.

ask Ryanrb25, find him on face book, he usually happy to help with any questions you have.

just dont expect him to do it for you :(

ROR Scandy.......if you like that shit, you must like blokes too.

Normal peeps prefer the girls in the 1st part of the vid.......each to their own weird fetishes I suppose.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
