33 Gtst Street/track Car

After that i installed the hks oil cooler kit, pretty straight foward. With the aircon removed, i decided to

mount it in front of the radiator for now. Gives me more space to utlize my brake ducts.

You might get lucky, but I found my oil temps weren't well controlled with the cooler mounted between intercooler and radiator. It's been moved and hangs underneath the RHS headlight. Time will tell if it works better there.

[Husky33]

yeah time will tell, if it doesn't work well then i'll just move it, no big drama i guess

[Husky33]

Went and bought some dry ice today, then went too work removing the sound deadening.

Worked a treat, got all of it out apart from some bits on the tranny tunnel and the vertical

pieces at the rear. I'll get to them with a heat gun a bit later on.

Also removed the aircon box above the passenger side dash, and the fan box on the left side of that. Bloody big items,

not light aswell. I'll remove the whole heater box behind the dash later on, once i take the dash off.

Got a hill climb this weekend so dont want to be rushing to put the car back together.

[Husky33]

Another goodie arrived yesterday, a very snug Racetech seat

Put the car back together for the huntley hill climb this weekend. Haven't bought a trailer yet so i'll be driving it down there,

hopefully no dramas.

Got some photo's of my new daily and tow bitch.

An 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, fully optioned, awesome interior, 5.7 Hemi v8. A bit thirsty

but i don't drive that much. In love with it already, tow capacity 3500kg's.

Now i need to get that trailer

[Husky33]

put the car back together yesterday and took her out to the Huntley hillclimb this morning.

Went alright, had to get use to the sticky rubber. First time i've used r spec tyres, and

they are alot gripper than the shit i have used before.

The car was missing anyware above 4500-5000, i did have them gapped at 1.1 and they were fine before,

but the combination of removing the cat and putting a larger exhaust plus a couple extra psi was blowing them

out. I'll replace them this week and run them at .8

Was lot of good fun though!

Now to pull the car back apart again

[levinboy]

Looking awesome simon cant wait to see the end result

[BOZ22N]

Have you assembled the new engine yet? Keen to see dyno sheet.

[Husky33]

nah decided to go a different route with the engine. Going to put all the bolt ons and tune it on e85, but i'll go an rb30 bottom end when it's time.

Was away for a couple months for work, just got back and going to start work on it again fitting the intake manifold, turbo kit and fuel system.

Hopefully get out for a few track days asap. Bought a Tilta trailer so keen to test it out

[BOZ22N]

It is a similar build to mine.

:-)

[Husky33]

well been away for work non stop which doesnt help, but got a couple days off so trying to get as much done as possible.

Got my head back from the machine shop. Head it cleaned up, oil returns drilled out, valve seat job, supertech springs, retainers, seals, seats.

The hks cams are in, hks manifold is on with a tial wasgegate and the greddy inlet manifold is on. Just waiting on a tomei headgasket to arrive.

Painted the cam covers blue with some left over paint.

Today i fitted a rear oil feed restrictor, blocked off the middle oil feed and fitted some arp head studs to the block.

Also fitted a surge tank with an 044 and wired that up with a relay straight of the battery.

Put the powerfc in and put the blitz dscb spec r in but havent wired it up yet.

Once the headgasket gets in, i'll fit the head, wack on the 3076 and take it in to get tuned on e85.

The car is also on stands as i just sold the te37sl's, and am getting some AME tracers and hankook z221's

[Miguelone]

Not sure if you're aware but the teal HKS cam gears had a habit of stripping off teeth.

[Husky33]

i've heard the rumours, yet all i've actually seen with my eyes has been positive.

We will see what happens

[Husky33]

wired up the z32 today, fitting the new braille battery with new terminals/leads.

Going to start making up the splitter template tonight

[Husky33]

So over the last week got the head back on with a new tomei hg and arp studs, fitted up the 3076 which was a pain(had to grind away some of the engine mount), manifolds all one.

[Husky33]

THEN........i put oil back in, put coolant in......AND.........coolant started pissing out. Right away, before i even got a chance to try and start the thing.

Had as best a look as i could and there is a full on stream pissing out from the rear welsh plug.

So I am really depressed at the moment, whole week of work for nothing, and as i start work again next week i wont have any time to rip EVERYTHING off again, so probably going to go drop it in to someone.....arghhhhhh

[The Sherrid]

yeah that's a bitch!

i'd be interested to know what valve seats you put in and what valve spring seat pressure your running.

wing and canards look phat, when you re-registered the car as a 2 seater, i assume you had to produce a roadworthy? how ever did you manage to get that wing passed?

i have an rb25 block if your still going that way.

also, doing an rb30 bottom end for the first time so would be happy to collaborate with others who will actually do one and use it on the track.
