Hi everyone thought I'd wright up my project 33

It's only going to be used for drift and track

So far The mods are

Engine:

Gt35/40 .63

6boost

50mm pro gate

Greddy plenum (original)

750cc injectors

Vh45 tb

Hybrid fmic

Alloy radiator

Microtech lt12s

Spitfire coilpacks

Suspention:

Tein ha coilovers

Adjustable

rear lower arms,

front lower arms,

Camber arms,

Rear toe arms

Hicas lock bar

And now I've just touched up the body and put a new front bar on

It's got a mixed matched bodykit but looks ok still

My plans are now to flare out the rear guards to suit some 17x10 +15 d1r's as I've got them on the front with wide guards and I think it will make the whole car look sexy

Then in near future il start looking for ideas on rollcages I'm pretty set on trackart cages ATM

Then build a rb27 or 3025

Few pics so far

Forgot to add that I fitted some rb26 covers that will hopefully let it breath a little better

Thinking about ideas on a return to sump catch can but where to put it and how there built in a way that they don't contaminate

I'm still unsure about

No idea Doesn't have any gauges so I'm only guessing the boost

The setup used to make 280 on 15psi with a 82 housing

I'm only wanting 300 safely unill the engines built

Thinking if using an exhaust cam

On the inlet and see if that makes a difference for now , and il just give it a quick dyno run to make sure everything's running well

I'm unsure what brand they are I baught them off abe2 who is a well known sau member and good bloke I might add

All I know is they used to be orange and there wide haha I can find out if u like though

No more work on the old 33 today as I was busy doing other bits and pieces just gave it a good degrease and wash

And and and ... I picked up a rb30 engine today so now I can spend my Nights researching rb25/30 builds oh the joy!

Sounds good mate, but your gonna find that diff pretty shit for drifting...,

I shimmed mine up till it almost couldn't fit back in the housing, was mad for a couple of weeks, but after that it just opened up again.

They might last longer on the street, but on the track they die pretty quick.

At the moment mines got a weldy in it to get me out of trouble until I can get my 2way sorted, and it is heaps better than shimming it... Just weld that sukka.

Wel see how it goes with the diff hopefully it will last a little bit as I want to

Focus on other bits

As for the guards il send Abe a pm for you

It absolutely pissed down with rain yesterday so I thought what a great day to pull down some old motors and get the base parts I wanted for my engine, now I just have to source the rest of the parts that il need (I've been told spool do a kit that's pretty well the best value for money)

If any of u guys know any other places that are cheap let me know :)

Rb25 head

Rb30 block

That's BS.... Save yourself a HEAP of money and build the 30. Honestly you'll need the extra grunt in that boat.

You have to buy a billet crank to go rb28 anyway????? If your going that far buy the rb32 kit form Nitto.

Just keep it simple.... so when it goes bang, you won't feel so bad.

Leave the head alone, throw a set of rods and pistons at a 30 block, get a decent oil pump and sump.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
