After reading so many good builds i was not getting any sleep and trying to work out what would i do if i had a shell to work with...

The awnser cam to me.. via a r32 gtst.. was in ok condition but my money was tight so it was a great pick up for $1400..

So the work started, before i got it into the workshop. lol

So as Ryhs said i have been putting a list together

Need"

Steel for roll cage

Gtr Fiberglass FRONT BAR

GTR hood (ali)

Gtr grill (bonnet pins insted of latch)

Primer and paint (colour something bright ie lime green or blue)

Fuel cell with a booster fuel pump and a small surge tank with 2 bosch 044 feeding all new lines to the engine bay

New TEIN Super Street Coilover Kit

As it is a drag car i will be fixing up all other componets on the Suspension with a new Bush Kit for the wornout bush's

all redy has a LSD might see how well it will hold up or look into strengthing it.

Next will be saving for a gtst half cut with box send the box off to get strengthend and find some rb 26 rocker covers.

build the engine

Intercooler

Manafold

Turbo Garret T51 are quite cheap on ebay for genuine

greddy plenum

Pwr Raidator and then exhaust to fit the rear housing need to look at rules for muffled or un muffled or flow ect

Seat + harness and new steering wheel

Clutch

This is just a basic list of items needed

im looking at allredy about 23k for all these parts so i expect this build to be finnished new 2011 arround september reddy for the new season..

still thinking about that one with a auto it will make the power through out the run tho with manual i might have a bit of trouble with the cluch there is a C4 auto box out of the ford's and it has a nissan bellhousing and being built for 1800 so might look at that tho i look at more and more drag cars and they have a built auto so this might be the way to go... what might happen is buy a gtst half cut and use that box and untill it dies then replace with the built box..

and it will be a 33 motor tho i still need to read up if a motec or similar ecu can control the whole car not just a piggy back as i want to scrap the whole wireing harrness and dash wires and just make up my own harness fuel will be in a cell so no gauge for that Boost, oil water temp, oil pressure and volts ect will be 52mm gauges and speedo will be off the ecu. Does anyone have any answers for me if i can get away with this.

ah and started stripping the boot with the tar. worked a treat. pix to come

battrery mount in the engine bay was removed and some holes welded up and smoothed..

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
