Thanks Ryan.

At the moment I've got a couple of cars but nothing that's running. I don't have the time to do anything for myself at the moment so it gets pushed to the back.

The R33 has never beenade elligability for 2A. Duncan was trying to get them homologated but I believe racing evidence was difficult to find.

Custom made alloy strut brace up for grabs, was made up for an aristo but customer changed their mind.

Fabricated from 6061 3mm alloy plate, two U shaped halves welded together with a solid 3mm plate bottom. slight curve in the bar 5mm rise in the center, unwelded on the top side in the center to give a neat looking gap down the middle

Machined 6061 alloy circular ends welded to the ends.

Base plates made from 6061 which are being redone at the moment to suit a skyline R32 or R33.

Going for $330 inc gst and postage to anywhere in aus.

New oil surge tank ive been developing.

post-20349-0-31546100-1356684938_thumb.jpg

Will those baffles use foam like the mines ones or something else?

I wish i had even a tenth of the talent you have, all your work is amazing!

Will contact you soon in regards to getting a powersteer resevoir similair to the one you did in that r32 with the electric setup.

Edited by k_d

Thanks for the compliments.

It's only practice and patience.

Yeah they are designed to use foam similar to the mines ones but with people using E85 and having E85 in oil and what not I'm getting some better quality foam cut to fit them properly

Here is something ive been working on for some time. This is the 3rd one to be fabricated but the first Ive taken photos of.

Its an oil surge tank specific for the R33.

Basic principal is same as a Fuel system.

9L sump feeds an external scavenge pump

Scavenge stage of the pump is used to fill this tank

Main pressure stage draws from the bottom of the tank via a funnel and internal baffle system

Pressure stage provides engine oil pressure

obviously there has been alot of small things to test and change as the system was developed.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
