Ok update time,

Car has now being painted and body kit fitted, a big thanks to the guys at arafura crash who did the work. and so you know the paint is the factory paint colour, light mertalic grey.

So far pulled the rest of the interor out so i can clean it and get it retrimed.

dummy place the driver seat and harnes.

rear strut brace

rear sway bar

rear camber arms

all brake lines

rear hand brake shoes

front sway bar

fitted the blits FMIC

fitted the nismo radiator cap

new center vent and demister vents fitted.

fitted the 33 rims, so i could get it on the truck. they make the front bar sit a 150mm and the stock 16" the front bar was at 100mm

Needs a GTR grill retrofit and align the headlights with the indicators, otherwise it looks kinda unproportioned imo.

fitted the 33 rims, so i could get it on the truck. they make the front bar sit a 150mm and the stock 16" the front bar was at 100mm

The 33 rims are a full 10cm larger then the 32s? that doesn't sound right...

[R TUNE]

Yep still have to fit the headlights proberly. im running 235/45/17 tyers on the GTRs were the stockies were 205/55/16. diffrent brand tyers are also diffrent sizes. And also not changing the bonnet as it ADR aproved.

Lol if different brand tyres were different sizes we'd have a huge problem. That's why we have standardised size ratings. 235/45R17 is only 12mm larger then 205/55R16. It would only raise the car 6mm. Hardly 50mm now isn't it!

Ok time for a update and i know it's been long.

Car is now on the road and regersted.

power is currently at 160RWKW still with the auto tune.

have taken it to a drift day and fark it was awsome but still got to work on the suspention set up.

Do have new pics but having trouble up loading.

[R TUNE]

Here are some pics

Well got the car back from the tuners and managed 160RWKW @ 14psi. not bad considering it;s darwin wet season (temp 28-34 humidity 60%-90%).

ill post the dyno graph when i get a chance.

Im alos removing the ATS 2 way as it sucks for street driving, it fine for track use or weekend use. But for street just shim a stock LSD.

manual conversion on the cards?

[R TUNE]

Manuals been done, but looks like i need a stronger clutch. After one drift round at hidden valley it's now slipping.

[R TUNE]

Time for an update, Last update was after RD5 of the burson auto parts drift series up in darwin, at hidden valley raceway.

I cooked the cluctch, enough that i had 3 big cracks in the fly wheel.

The gearbox has said enough with all sycros crunching and bearings been noisy.

So replaced these, new fly wheel, 5 puck cussion button clucth from RPM replacement gear box.

tryed fitten a Z32 afm, as my tunner thought it was the problem with my car not starting, stalling, running like crap. In the end the AFM was dirty and the pod ( a cheap crap one) had cloged (i also found later the intake pipe to the turbo was not on.

My tunner couldn't get the Z32 to work even tho he got it running with the stock AFM and didn't tell me as my aim was to get it running.

I painted the R33 GTR rims black.

Had to replace the rocker cover gaskets as they had been leaking, and also suffed some serious blow by, after competeing in the burson autoparts drift series RD 1 2012.

At that event placed 5

I found that i had understeer in my current set up, and was selecting 5th insted of 3rd on turn 7 due to a worn gear leaver bush.

Also had issues with blow by, and a leaking rocker cover gasket both now fixed. but looks like the turbo seal has gone as im blowing white smoke on back off.

Any way here are some pics

Fitted a fire bottle, painted the rocker cover, painted the GTR rims.
