Nice wheels, love old school rays (first dibs if you decide to sell). You can just space in the latch to fit the gtr bonnet, thats what we did.

If that was directed at me I hope I don't have to sell anytime soon as it took me long enough to finally get them on.

They are nice and wide 18 x 10 with +20 offset all around

Real headache to fit

Ahhhh the days of sittin ya car on its' balls!

Yeah it was cool, but the best thing I did handling wise (other than some bigass swaybars) was raise mine up!

Griff, is that a GTR lip on a GTSt bar?

Indeed it is a GTR lip on a GTSt bar. (it could be a type m but i'm not entirely sure)

Got it off a mate and just cable tied it up underneath.

Does the job for me.

Actually can't wait for sunday :)

Hopefully I see you at the next one then.

I feel like I should take this opportunity to say shoulda stuck with the 20?

Why would I do that? The 30 was running as my daily for a couple of years, pulled it out to put some stronger rods and other stuff in, just didn't expect to break the wagon while it was still in pieces :P

It's going back together with a stock bottom end, ASR sump, my custom forward facing plenum/Q45 throttlebody and the highflow off the wagon. In order to be a tightass, we're knocking up some spacers so I can use some old Neo injectors that I have lying around (after a clean), 370cc should be plenty for the highflow as I'm not exactly going to be leaning on it very hard.. whatever it makes at 1bar of boost will be fine for a while.

List of things to do:

-Bolt reconditioned front callipers back on (as soon as chuckie brings them round :P)

-Get clutch cleaned & inspected (HKS twin for cheap cheap.. hopefully it's ok! heh)

-Bolt head & ancillaries on to block (easy)

-Drop engine in car (easy)

-Get my mate to weld a pipe to throttlebody (hard)

-Fit NIStune board to ECU (easy)

Interior will be back together this arvo and the thermo fans will be mounted and wired. Already got all my top end gaskets, just waiting for spigot bush and throwout bearing to arrive. Can put engine together but can't drop it in until I have those.

Once the brakes are on it can come off the axle stands, carport position swapped with the wagon and wagon turbo removed. Then really I'm just waiting on workshop availability which should be this weekend! Not bothering to book in for a tune until it's all together though.

It's not a showcar if that's what you're thinking! But under the skin she's built to take a beating ;)

No build threads, but a lot of shared ideas :thumbsup:

That just made my day that little bit brighter.

At least there is still some people left that aren't all about autosalon

Ironic, I remember cars from autosalon having big wheels, poorly fitted body kits and lowered too low for looks and not performance...

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
