hey, sorry if in wrong section, move if possible.

just wondering if ne 1 has moved there motors back? how far can u go before u start getting sump/ rack clearance issues? it looks pretty close

maybe no1s done it in a skyline but maybe in a silvia with a rb conversion?

ive got a r33 member and a r32 im trying out.

the r32 makes the motor sit 10mm further back than the r33 xmember. im chasing another 15mm. i can gain that easy just by redrilling etc: just wondering if ne 1 had done sumthing similar before i have a go at it.

btw this is in a dr30, im putting a rack in it by using 1 of these members, just need the motor to sit further back to suit previous gearbox/mountings etc.

cheers

I could be wrong but a local guy here was building a DR30 with RB25 (ended up using a SR20) am Im pretty sure he was using an S13 cross member instead of the RB to get it low enough and back enough in the engine bay.

Let me see if I can find his build thread/updates and I'll get back to you thumbsup.gif

Priso's old car indeed.

Wasn't able to find where he was posting updates (think it was NS.com) but might be worth shooting him a message and asking thumbsup.gif

      Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 😢

      So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL

      yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).

      nice to see a proper resto, instead of the usual half arsed attempts where the owners wont even replace crappy floor mats

      Aw man, I was in Belgium earlier this month in Brussels and Bruges. Would've been awesome to see a Skyline all the way over there! I did load up on Tintin merch though  Welcome!
