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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
