Starting the build on my car today with Trent and the boys over at Mercury Motorsport.

The plan is to build a more competitive track car (I have radicals, mad EVO's and porsche cup cars to deal with in the local time attack series, all of which I would like to be nudging a bit harder).

Unlike these cars though I will be driving the R35 to and from work and the track.

Mods coming over the next few weeks include:

Power:

Harman motive intakes and intercooler piping

AMS intercooler

Willall turbo kit

Custom dump pipes and 4 inch exhaust

Walbro fuel pumps

ID 1000cc Inj

Cooling:

CBRD Radiator

Willall oil pan upgrade

Willall Front mount transmission cooler

Suspension:

Custom MCA fully adjustable suspension kit

Hi Octane front upper control arms

Whiteline front and rear sway bars

Wheels and Tyres:

18 x 10 CCW wheels

27/68/18 slicks

Hope to have this ready for next time attack day though I am sure it will be a works in progress for some time to come as we fine tune the setup.

will provide updates as we go

I was looking at your control arms this arvo actually.. you had better get a move on and get them off nathan otherwise they may disappear! they look a trick bit of gear.

looking forward to the progress of your project

Thanks Martin. all the parts starting to trickle in.

car pulled apart. fuel pumps going in

Custom exhaust from the turbo back is being fabricated as we speak.

Will inspect the transmission oil pan whilst were doing things.

had a look around under the car yesterday with the boys. damn the stock rear sway bar is thin! whitelines going in front and back though :)

Willall cooling products arrived.

Exhaust coming along nicely, the 4 inch fits like a glove in the stock undertray position. went for a more raw look with the 4 inch piping coming out the back as opposed to any fancy tail pipe work.

will have a variable exhaust with high flow muffler on one side and a straight through valved exit on the other.

Engine out tonight and turbos off to Willall tomorrow.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
