Hey everyone

I have been planning to turn my 260rs into a show car for quite sometime. Some people know i have quite a large custom stereo install in the car but the funds have come through that will allow me to completely finish the car of to a show quality. Quite ironically though my showcar has begun with the purchase of a new engine for the car which is as follows:

RB2.8L engine

N1 block

HKS step 3 2.8L kit (HKS pistons, rods and crank)

HKS 1.6mm drag head gasket

HKS exhaust and intake gaskets

HKS oil pump, HKS cam gears

HKS timing belt

HKS fuel rail

HKS 1000cc injectors

N1 water pump

Trust sump kit

Tomei 280 degree 11.5mm lift drag cam shafts

Tomei drag valve spring kit

Tomei titanium retainers

Tomei valve lifter

Race cut valves

Race valve guides

ARP head stud kit

ARP main stud kit

Race main bearing kit

Race crank bearing kit

ATI/Ross pulley kit

Race head port intake and exhaust

I am still undecided on what turbo to run though T04z for streetability when its done the shows or a T51r for fun on the dyno at comps

The car will also be getting a custom 2 tone paint job (top:black, bottom:white with thin blue break stripe) all with white ice pearl over the top.

The car will also get a full interior retrim in black and white leather

Will keep updated with photos as the build goes along.

The plan is to debut the finished car at perth autosalon 2011

cheers daniel

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
