That gear box mount looks familiar!

I got the guys at Vibra Technics to make that mount - good to see it hasn't just been a one off for me!

I've been considering swapping my rear cradle to an R33 one for a wile now.

What offset bushes did you use?

How much wider did the track end up?

If I do it, I'll still be using the stock arms as mine is a daily, so trying to work out how much I'll have to flare my gaurds.

The car is on blocks still :) So who knows...

I am mainly doing it for strength as the 32 cradle had cracks and long term with the new engine thicker shafts isnt a bad thing. Meant new shocks and diff which sux but everything is new do will be mega.

Running GKtech offset diff bushes

I dont think the rear is any wider. I think the wider track is from the offset and width of wheels...but would have to check again

The mount is neat. I run their gear in my Cossie and gets the job done

Yeh, slowly getting it together. I am slowly slapping it all back together including some new little projects that I am keen to try. Also selling off all th ebits off my built RB25 while its healthy to help fund the new engine I am piecing together. The recent Euro trip to Monaco and tom-foolery hurt the budget so still slugging away with a small spend per month. Hope to have it back on the road tuned with the new Kinda surprise motor by Xmas and summer. Lol wanted to put A/C back in the car so used that as silly justification for a new engine :)

Baby steps doing dome work a few nights this week. 

Got thre front end all back together with Nismo inner upper mount. Alloy hubs, modded Ikeya LCA, Noltec upper arm and all new king pin bearings and wheel bearings. New RCA tie rod ends. In the rear got the new diff gusseted cradle all dummy fitted with Nismo inner pick up braces all dummy fitted.  So over weekend will grease up all the bushes and get that all bolted home too

Hey Roy nice write up mate. I'm considering the Tomei Poncam 256/8.5mm for my unopened RB20 soon. Would you say that they give enough benefit to be a worth purchase? Currently have 290whp with a Garrett GTX2860r and all quality supporting mods. Stock intake and exhaust manifolds. Am considering going with a Garrett GTX3071r if the cams prove to bring on power earlier with the current turbo as this is a street car and doesn't see the track. Cheers.

Std cams work just fine i.o. Some ppl make cams work for them others dont.  For sure the $1000 in parts and tuning dont equate to a step change in performance imo. If its a street car just make sure you have cam gears. On std cams they made a bigger change then aftermarket cams.

 

I reckon if i still had the RB20 with punchy power i would slap a 4.6 diff it....110 highway cruising would be a little more painful but imo gear the things like a rotary :) crown wheel and pinion cheaper than cams

Yeh. Now got twin -5s in what looks like an RB20DETT :) Even  gone back to std inlet.

Lol...have another motor but just want to play with the built 25DE a bit longer. Also easier for a buyer to hand over cash for an engine they can drive/listen/hear. Then just slap everything onto new motor which is VCT RB26

Flap peak for life!!!

If 25de'd were cheap like they were 10 years ago I would almost go down a similar route.

I've seen one other R33 RB25 TT.
An R31 passage, customer car at R31 house.

Think it had an FCon ECU.
Was pretty impressive

Tired of 6poop T67 setup so sold it and slapping this together.
Its crap...but at least im not part of the single turbo flat cap brigade 
Don't have any other TD06SH or T67s lying around still?

Need to do something about my L2 being too small for an rb25 :(

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
