Hi all. I am new to this forum. I used to have a skyline so i know what that feels like hehe (a gtr!)

Now days i prefer something a little different. So what do you get when you half the engine size of a skyline and drop the "R" from the badging?

a 1.3L GT ;-)

Well here are some piks of mine in the shop getting fitted with a larger turbo, front mount, dump pipe, cold air intake, fuel managment syste, dyno run and a few other things. I only posted a few piks because i dont know if people will be interedted seeing as how its not a skyline.

Heat absorbent wrapping on the oil and air piping.

Ok so let me know what you think. I have put alot of hard work and effort into this project. It gained about 70-80 kilowats in the upgrading process and runs 140 kilowats at the wheels at 15psi (capable of 21 psi but i dont want it to fast) I havnt taken it to the 1/4 mile but i have ran it against a few of my friends cars and it does a great job.

I'm missing the part where you can get rid of it :yes:

Even the smallest increments make such a difference to performance in small cars. Even 10kw difference in a small hatchback like this is noticeable.

very true, 10 kilowat increase is very noticable in a light hatch back, so you can imagine a 75kilowat increase would be alot of fun. hehe

definatly a car that holds is place on the road and also rare. i always get people asking me "what is it"

lol

even when i had the skyline, i always wanted one of these, i just found them very fasinating.

kudos on the build mate,

brings me back to when i built a EFI turbocharged suzuki mightyboy.... light as and it had some decent power!

this looks impressive, wouldnt mind seeing more pics if u do have them... it doesnt matter its not a skyline so long as its in the right thread.

where abouts are u?

Great,

I had one too, it was running Ebay manifold, my mate old sr20 turbo, evo VI front mount all done in my back yard and the bloody thing was flying though it was lag as fk lol, boost wont' kicks in until 4000rpm.

I kept up with an Evo VII with just 6psi untuned hahaha, 140kw sounds about right with that set up.

Oh i think you've got a rare Tom's adjustable spoiler.

Try Auststarletclub yet?

the photo in the display pik is not my starlet, the one in the post is.

The t25 is not the best choice for the starlet though (unless your running an engine conversion or something similar), its a little to big, if you had the td04 you would have had alot more fun in it hehe.

Its pretty quick, I also have a R32 GTR, i want to race against it! would be interesting.

(There is a very unhappy ferrari owner driving around heheheh!)

Nah, the T25 suits me just fine :D, it was a little project that i did for fun so i didnt care. Is your manifold a log manifold?

my manifold has very short runners (to avoid lag) it works very well at about 3.5krpm. The power is minimal until then, but then it hits pretty hard. With the t25 i think the power doesnt hit hard until about 5.5krpm. Its just so easy to get more power out of it.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
