I wasn't infering you had copied the Jenvey pleunum... Great minds do think alike though.

But it is similar.

:yes:

Jenvey are one of the world leaders in aftermerket intake design. I have seen a one off Jenvey intake (in the US) for an rb26 that was amazing... very very xxx'y.

If I was going to fab from scratch an intake, I personally would look at the Jenvey designs and start there.... :whistling:

Either way whoever designed your's, has a good handle on intake design.

Rekorderling by far?, this week im hoping to finish the stitching in the cab weld up a few of the floor pan holes, i am going to make some nice cover plates and nut serts for a few of the other holes just incase i need to run some thing later and will get started on the full rewire.

Does any one know if the abs unit has a inbulit computer like most abs units or if it has an external unit as i want to retain the abs?

Main hoop for the cage should come soon as well so i will start that after the wire up, depending how far i get on sunday i will cut the rear gaurds strech the inner skin and make up the templates for the wide body but see what happens.

I will post up some pics of the front gaurds as i wi be moudling the glas onto the steel frame of the old gaurds for rigidity and strength.

Xrated, im with you now the pick up running the length of the manifold hahaha sorry mate major seniors moment ?.

I was looking through there site last night they have some very nice stuff and if you did use that as i starting point i think you would be pretty much on the money.

Me and my old man did everything for mine, he has done a fair bit before.

It's a great way to pick up extra intake runner length, without running into the strut tower.

If only I had the skills and gear.... to make my ideas come to life.\

If you ever get bored, a direct comparison of stock v's your intake mani would be a very interesting read.

Cheers

I wish i had, after all the turbo was changed and everything i had thought about it and wished i did a back to back but bit to late now i think, i know it will make a big difference and give it allot more bottom end and mid range which rbs lack a bit.

So it should be good, decided today on a bright blood orange with black bonet black duck tail and just waiting for a quote back from provynil for doing the decals.

Im still

Umming and ahhing about black wheels or keep them silver.

  • 1 month later...

So finally getting a bit more done on the wiring and getting one step closer to firing it up after 3 years of sitting still.

Finished up the fuse box and relay board now and i have all the control box done and started the wiring in process, all the rear lights main and lift pump wiring is done and all the terminals fitted and now i am onto the front of the car, once all the front wiring is done i will make all the dash cluster and new gauge panels and wire all the warning led's in.

So it looks like the wide body is now for sale as due to the wtac class restriction i cant use a wide body in my class, so i will have to stretch the steel guards as much as i can to make everything fit.

The fronts i should get 20mm out of quite easily but the rear will be a challenge.

Had all the new gauges turn up some of the old ones will get the turf any way some pis of where i am up to.

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
